the real part of the function on the total boundary of the region. In this
section these results are established for the special case of a circle and for a
half-plane. In Chapter 2 of Selected Topics a more general case is discussed.
Theorem 7.38 Let f be analytic in a region containing the circular disk
lzl ~ R, and let C: ( = Rei.P, 0 ~if~ 271". If the values of u =Ref=
u(R, if) are known, as well as the particular value v(O, B) = v(O), then for
any z == rei^6 with 0 ~ r < R, we have

since d( = i( dif. In particular, for z = 0 we obtain
f (0) = 2~ 1

For any point z with iz I > R we have

If the point z* is chosen to be the inverse of z with respect to the circle C
(Fig. 7.29), i.e., such that zz = R^2 = ((, we get z = ((/z, and (7.28-4)
becomes
0 = -^1 121r f(()_ z - -dif

(7.28-5)
Subtracting (7.28-5) from (7.28-2), we obtain
f (z) = 2~ 121r f ( () [ ( ~ z + ( ~ z] dif
