Poincaré problem
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
To find a harmonic function in a bounded simply-connected domain which, on the boundary of the domain, satisfies the condition
where , , , and are real-valued functions given on , is the arc parameter and is the normal to . H. Poincaré (1910) arrived at this problem while working on the mathematical theory of fluid flow and gave an (incomplete) solution to the problem in case , and the contour and the functions and are analytic.
