A single-valued harmonic function in a planar annulus has radial Fourier modes and multiplying for integers . Substitute in Laplace's equation: periodicity gives , while . Regularity at the origin excludes ; boundedness at infinity excludes . Coefficients must give locally convergent series, with the boundary regularity required by the particular Dirichlet problem. Mere finiteness at each finite exterior point does not imply boundedness at infinity.
