A new transform-based approach is presented that can be used to solve mixed boundary value problems for Laplace's equation in non-convex and other planar domains, specifically the so-called Lipschitz domains. This work complements Crowdy (2015, CMFT, 15, 655-687), where new transform-based techniques were developed for boundary value problems for Laplace's equation in circular domains. The key ingredient of the present method is the exploitation of the properties of the Szegö kernel and its connection with the Cauchy kernel to obtain transform pairs for analytic functions in such domains. Several examples are solved in detail and are numerically implemented to illustrate the application of the new transform pairs.

Abstract
A new transform-based approach is presented that can be used to solve mixed boundary value problems for Laplace's equation in non-convex and other planar domains, specifically the so-called Lipschitz domains. This work complements Crowdy (2015, CMFT, 15, 655-687), where new transform-based techniques were developed for boundary value problems for Laplace's equation in circular domains. The key ingredient of the present method is the exploitation of the properties of the Szegö kernel and its connection with the Cauchy kernel to obtain transform pairs for analytic functions in such domains. Several examples are solved in detail and are numerically implemented to illustrate the application of the new transform pairs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
