Let denote the Half-range Fourier transforms of , and let denote those of the upward derivatives . Also setIntegrate the tangential derivatives in the three spectral functions by parts. For example, , and . All corner values cancel in . The result is the semistrip Laplace spectral global relation
For , use the sine transformsReality of makes and real, so taking imaginary parts removes the unknown left-side normal derivative. At and the two consequences of the global relation areSubtracting these equations and then substituting back gives the semistrip Dirichlet-to-Neumann sine transforms entirely in terms of the prescribed Dirichlet boundary data:These are the requested transforms of itself. The bottom outward Neumann boundary data have the opposite sign. The apparent division at is handled by a continuous limit whenever the corresponding moments exist; there is no singularity for any .
In the semistrip Laplace spectral global relation, reality makes real for . Its imaginary parts at those two arguments remove the unknown vertical-side normal derivative. With and , the result isThe lower outward normal derivative is , so its Dirichlet-to-Neumann map coefficient is , whereas the upper coefficient is .
