Poisson kernel for the unit disk
ID: poisson-kernel-for-the-unit-disk
For , this Poisson kernel for the unit disk has the uniformly convergent Fourier seriesThe identity follows by taking the real part of the geometric series . For integrable -periodic boundary data , its Poisson extension iswhere are the usual Fourier coefficients. Each term is a harmonic function in the open disk. For continuous boundary data, the extension solves the Dirichlet problem with those boundary values.
