Q38 Complex numbers 2 Properties of Analytic/Entire Functions View
Let $h$ be a function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$, continuous and $2\pi$-periodic on $\mathbb{R}$. We seek to solve the Dirichlet problem on the unit disk; we need to determine the function or functions $f$ defined and continuous on $\overline{D(0,1)}$, of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on $D(0,1)$, and such that $$\begin{cases} \Delta f = 0 \text{ on } D(0,1) \\ \forall t \in \mathbb{R}, f(\cos(t), \sin(t)) = h(t) \end{cases}$$ For this, we set, for any complex number $z$ such that $|z| < 1$, $$g(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} h(t) \mathcal{P}(t,z) \, \mathrm{d}t \quad \text{where} \quad \mathcal{P}(t,z) = \operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}t} + z}{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}t} - z}\right)$$ Show that the function $z \mapsto \frac{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}t} + z}{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}t} - z}$ is expandable in a power series for $|z| < 1$ and calculate its power series expansion. Deduce that the function $(x,y) \mapsto g(x + \mathrm{i}y)$ is a harmonic function on $D(0,1)$.
