On the resolution of the inverse problem for the logarithmic potential (Q1100587)

The author considers the following problem: Given a function V on a subdomain \(\Omega\) of \({\mathbb{C}}\) such that \({\mathbb{C}}\setminus \Omega\) is compact, find a simply connected subdomain D of \(\Omega\), whose boundary is a regular simple curve, such that the restriction of Lebesgue measure to D generates a logarithmic potential that coincides with V on \({\mathbb{C}}\setminus \bar D\). Two approaches are used, one employing the Ivanov equation, the other employing algebras of analytic functions.
