For the positive Laplacian convention $\Delta G=\delta$, the method of images in the first quadrant reflects an interior pole $(a,b)$ across each axis with negative sign and across both with positive sign:The Dirichlet Green function vanishes on both axes. Its outward normal derivative on the horizontal axis isand the vertical-axis kernel follows by exchange of coordinates. Green second identity converts these derivatives into the quadrant Poisson integral for boundary data.
