Radial boundary value

The value of a function , defined on the unit disc , at a boundary point , equal to the limit

of the function on the set of points of the radius leading to the point . The term "radial boundary value" is sometimes used in a generalized sense for functions given on arbitrary (including multi-dimensional) domains , where is taken to be the set of points of a normal (or its analogue) to the boundary of leading to the boundary point. For example, in the case of a bi-disc

as the radial boundary value at one takes the limit
