A simple solution method for the first boundary value problem of the polyharmonic equation

Pages 145-153 | Received 07 Sep 1990, Published online: 02 May 2007
 

Abstract

Integral representation formulas are derived for the solution of the polyharmonic equation in an n-dimensional hypersphere and in an n-dimensional half-space when the normal derivatives are given on the boundaries of these domains. The solution method utilizes the Goursat-Almansi formula to represent an m-polyharmonic function in terms of m harmonic functions for the given domain. The harmonic functions are then determined from an iteratively denned system of m Dirichlet problems.
