For a harmonic function in the quadrant with boundary derivatives $u_y(0,y)=g_1(y)$ and $u_x(x,0)=g_2(x)$, integrating the data to equal corner values and applying the Schwarz integral formula after the conformal map $w=z^2$ givesThese are tangential boundary derivatives, so uniqueness requires an additional normalization or growth restriction. A homogeneous contribution has the form $ih(z^2)/z$ with $h$ holomorphic in the complex upper half-plane and real on its boundary away from zero. For example, $u=xy$ has zero prescribed derivatives on both edges.

For the bounded Dirichlet Poisson integral in a quadrant, the Wirtinger derivative isThis follows by differentiating the Schwarz integral formula composed with $z^2$, remembering that for real boundary data $u_z$ is half the derivative of a holomorphic function whose real part is $u$. For complex boundary data, apply the construction to the real and imaginary parts separately and use linearity. If the data and their derivatives decay sufficiently, integration by parts givesThe endpoint terms cancel exactly when $g_1(0)=g_2(0)$. Interior denominators do not vanish because $\mathrm{Im}{z}^2>0$.

First suppose the integral of $g(\xi )/(\xi -z)$ converges, for example if $g\in L^1(\mathbb{R})$. Substitute the complexified coordinates $x=(z+\bar{a})/2$, $y=(z-\bar{a})/(2i)$ into the Poisson integral. The factorization of its denominator givesThe given Schwarz integral formula therefore writes $f(z)$ as $(i\pi {)}^{-1}\int g(\xi )/(\xi -z)d\xi$ plus a constant. For $z=x+iy$, the real part of this integral is exactly the Poisson integral, sinceThe remaining constant has zero real part, giving $\boxed{f(z)=(i\pi {)}^{-1}{\int }_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{g(\xi )}{\xi -z}d\xi +ic}$ with $c\in \mathbb{R}$. The complex substitution is initially understood where the real-analytic harmonic function has its complexification; the holomorphic integral then continues the identity throughout the upper half-plane.

Decay of $u$ alone does not guarantee convergence of the printed unregularized integral. For example, choose a continuous $g$ which vanishes on $(-\infty ,e]$ and equals $1/\log \xi$ for $\xi \ge e^2$, with continuous interpolation. It is bounded and tends to zero at both ends. Its Poisson integral tends to zero as $|z|\to \infty$ in the closed upper half-plane: split the boundary function into a small uniform tail and a compactly supported part. Nevertheless ${\int }^{\infty }g(\xi )/(\xi -z)d\xi$ diverges like $\log \log \xi$, even as a symmetric principal value. With only the stated decay assumptions, the always convergent version isThe subtracted kernel is real on the integration line, so it changes only the imaginary constant and leaves the harmonic function $u$ unchanged. The kernel difference is $O({\xi }^{-2})$, which ensures convergence for bounded $g$.

Interpret the malformed printed domain inequality as the first quadrant $x>0,y>0$, as indicated by the two axis boundary conditions. There is also a genuine missing hypothesis: decay of the boundary data does not require the harmonic function itself to be bounded. For zero data, both $q=0$ and $q=xy$ satisfy the Laplace equation and both edge values, but the Wirtinger derivative of the latter isThus the data do not determine an arbitrary solution's derivative without a growth restriction. We derive the integral representation for the bounded solution, which is also the standard decaying solution when the continuous edge data decay. Any other admissible unbounded solution can differ by a zero-boundary harmonic function.

The conformal map $w=z^2$ sends the quadrant bijectively to the complex upper half-plane: the positive real axis maps to $s>0$, and the positive imaginary axis maps to $s<0$. Define its real-axis boundary function byThe compatibility at the corner makes $f$ continuous there. The Dirichlet Poisson integral in a quadrant follows from the upper-half-plane Poisson kernel:It is bounded by the supremum of the bounded edge data, and the kernel's approximate identity property supplies both Dirichlet boundary conditions. More explicitly, for $z^2=a+ic$, where $a=x^2-y^2$ and $c=2xy>0$, this integral isIt displays directly which part of the real-line boundary corresponds to each original axis.

To obtain its derivative, first take real data and use the Schwarz integral formula. A holomorphic function whose real part is the Poisson solution in the $w$-plane isThe regularizing subtraction is independent of $w$ and affects only the imaginary normalization; it permits bounded data without an artificial integrability assumption. Then $q=\mathrm{Re}F(z^2)$. By the chain rule and the Wirtinger derivative,The factor is $z$, not $2z$: taking the real part contributes the factor $1/2$ in the complex derivative. Differentiation under the integral sign is justified uniformly on compact interior subsets because the denominator stays away from the real boundary and decays quadratically at infinity. Splitting the real integral at zero and substituting $s=r^2$ or $s=-r^2$ gives the holomorphic derivative of a quadrant Dirichlet solution:This converges for bounded data, and in particular for the stated sufficiently decaying data. No interior pole is encountered since $\mathrm{Im}(z^2)=2xy>0$. For complex-valued data the same formula holds by applying the real-data construction separately to their real and imaginary parts and using linearity.

An equivalent form, often convenient when the data's derivatives decay, comes from integration by parts. Sincethe two endpoint terms are $-g_2(0)/z^2$ and $+g_1(0)/z^2$. They cancel by the specified compatibility, leavingThis is the harmonic quadrant solution from tangential boundary derivatives applied to the actual derivatives $g_1^{\prime },g_2^{\prime }$; the supplied $g_1,g_2$ in this question are boundary values, not derivatives. Omitting those primes would solve a different boundary problem.

For completeness, bounded Dirichlet uniqueness in a quadrant selects the solution just constructed. The difference of two bounded solutions is zero on both axes. Odd reflection across each axis gives a bounded harmonic extension to the punctured plane; the removable singularity for a bounded harmonic function fills the corner. The harmonic Liouville theorem makes the extension constant, and oddness makes it zero. Decaying data give a decaying Poisson extension: split the real-axis integral into a fixed compact interval and a tail with arbitrarily small data; the compact contribution tends to zero as $|z^2|\to \infty$, while the tail is bounded by that small supremum.

As literally printed without boundedness or a growth condition, the most one can assert isThe zero-boundary harmonic growth in a quadrant includes $v=cxy$ and more generally $v=\mathrm{Im}(z^{2m})$. This is an actual nonuniqueness of the printed problem, not a defect in the integral for the normalized bounded solution.

The Wirtinger derivative $u_z=(u_x-i{u}_y)/2$ is holomorphic, since ${\partial }_{\bar{z}}{u}_z=\Delta u/4=0$ by the Laplace equation. The conformal map $w=z^2$ takes the quadrant to the complex upper half-plane. Integrating the prescribed tangential boundary derivatives, choose a common corner value $c$ and define the real boundary functionThe decaying data are bounded under the usual regularity at the corner, so $f(s)=O(1+\sqrt{|s|})$. Thus its Poisson integral converges. A holomorphic function whose real part is that Poisson integral is supplied by the regularized Schwarz integral formula:For $u_{\ast }(z)=\mathrm{Re}W(z^2)$, the chain rule gives $(u_{\ast }{)}_z=z{W}^{\prime }(z^2)$. Apply integration by parts to obtainSubstituting $s=r^2$ and $s=-r^2$ gives the requested particular integral representation:Both integrals converge absolutely for an interior point of the quadrant. The Sokhotski–Plemelj formula gives $\mathrm{Re}(u_{\ast }{)}_z(x)=g_2(x)/2$ on the horizontal edge and $\mathrm{Im}(u_{\ast }{)}_z(iy)=-g_1(y)/2$ on the vertical edge, verifying the prescribed derivatives.

The printed conditions alone do not determine $u_z$ uniquely. The general answer adds a holomorphic function $H$ satisfyingEquivalently, write $H(z)=ih(z^2)/z$, where $h$ is holomorphic in the complex upper half-plane with real boundary values on the nonzero real axis. An antiderivative of $2H$ has a harmonic real part with zero tangential boundary derivatives. For example, $u=xy$ contributes $H=-iz/2$ without changing either datum. If the two edge constants differ by $c_2-c_1$, the angular harmonic function contributes $i(c_2-c_1)/(\pi z)$. The boxed expression selects the Poisson integral representative with equal edge constants; regularity and suitable growth conditions can be used to select that representative.
