 Solution

A Dirichlet Green function satisfies ${\Delta }_{\mathbf{x}}{G}_D(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})={\delta }^{(2)}(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y})$ in the domain and $G_D=0$ when $\mathbf{x}$ lies on its boundary. For a source $\mathbf{y}\ne 0$ in the unit disc, put its opposite image at ${\mathbf{y}}^{\ast }=\mathbf{y}/|\mathbf{y}{|}^2$. The method of images givesThe image lies outside the unit disc, so its logarithm is a harmonic function inside. The original logarithm has precisely the unit source strength found in part (a). On $|\mathbf{x}|=1$,so the boundary value is zero. Equivalently, in complex coordinates, the Dirichlet Green function inside the unit disk isThis also covers a source at the origin, where $G_D(z,0)=(2\pi {)}^{-1}\log |z|$.
