For the Poisson equation Δu=∑n≥1​bn​sin(nθ) on the unit disk with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, separation of variables in polar coordinates gives r2Rn′′​+rRn′​−n2Rn​=r2. For n=2, boundedness at r=0 and Rn​(1)=0 select Rn​=(rn−r2)/(n2−4). The resonant mode is R2​=r2logr/4. For discontinuous angular data, the Poisson equation is interpreted in its weak formulation; its Dirichlet energy gives uniqueness. Orthogonality of the angular Fourier modes gives ∫ufdA=−∑n​πbn2​/[4(n+2)2], with the resonant case obtained directly or by the limit n→2.
