      Es sei für \(k\) Variable \(xyz \ldots\) \[ \varDelta \varPhi =\frac{\partial^2 \varPhi}{ \partial x^2} +\frac{ \partial^2 \varPhi}{ \partial y^2} +\frac{ \partial^2 \varPhi}{ \partial z^2} +\cdots, \] ferner sei \[ r^2 =(x-a)^2 +(y-b)^2 +(z-c)^2 +\cdots, \] so ist \[ V_n =\varSigma m \frac{ r^{ n+1}}{ n+1} \] anzusehen als das Potential der Massenpunkte \(m(abc \ldots)\) in einem Raume von \(k\) Dimensionen, wenn die Anziehung der \(n^{\text{ter}}\) Potenz der Distanz proportional ist. Die Jellet'sche Gleichung \[ \varDelta V_n =(n-1) \; (n+k-1) V_{n-2} \] wird nun benutzt, um das Potential eines gleichförmig belegten Kreises oder Kreisringes in einem Punkte der Kreisebene für \(n=-5, \; -7, \; -9, \ldots\) aus dem direct für \(n=-3\) berechneten Potentiale herzuleiten. Zu bemerken ist jedoch, dass das Verfahren des Verfassers in dem Falle, wo der angezogene Punkt der Belegung angehört, durchaus unzulässig ist.
