The integral formula in (10) is called the Poisson integral formula for the<br />

upper half-plane y>0, and it gives a solution φ(x, y) of the Dirichlet problem<br />

in (8). The Poisson integral formula can also be used to solve a more general<br />

type of Dirichlet problem in which the boundary conditions are specified by<br />

anypiecewise continuous and bounded function. This is the content of the<br />

following theorem.<br />

Theorem 7.6 Poisson Integral Formula for the Half-Plane<br />

Let f(x) be a piecewise continuous and bounded function on<br />
