Abstract

Mixed boundary value problems for the two-dimensional Laplace’s equation in a domain D are reduced to the Riemann-Hilbert problem Re \(\overline {\lambda (t)}\psi (t) = 0\), t ∈ ∂D, with a given Hölder continuous function λ(t) on ∂D except at a finite number of points where a one-sided discontinuity is admitted. The celebrated Keldysh-Sedov formulae were used to solve such a problem for a simply connected domain. In this paper, a method of functional equations is developed to mixed problems for multiply connected domains. For definiteness, we discuss a problem having applications in composites with a discontinuous coefficient λ(t) on one of the boundary components. It is assumed that the domain D is a canonical domain, the lower half-plane with circular holes. A constructive iterative algorithm to obtain an approximate solution in analytical form is developed in the form of an expansion in the radius of the holes.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The standard form for the \(\mathbb R\)-linear problem is additive [9, 12], e.g. \(\phi (t)= \phi _k(t) + \overline {\phi _k(t)}+ c(t)\). In this case \(X(t)=\exp \phi (t)\), \(X_k(t)=\exp \phi _k(t)\).
