Suppose the inner and outer boundary values on spheres of radii have convergent Legendre polynomial expansions with coefficients . For each degree set and . Then
Both radial terms solve , so the displayed angular expansion is harmonic wherever the series and required derivatives converge. The two radial factors take endpoint values and , respectively, proving the boundary matching. For continuous data with the usual harmonic-extension convergence, the maximum principle for harmonic functions gives uniqueness. The construction separates the angular orthogonality from the two-boundary radial interpolation.
