A numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem on some special doubly connected regions (Q1978987)

The article is a continuation of the paper by \textit{E. Dontová} [Časopis Pěst. Mat. 113, 122-147 (1988; Zbl 0658.31002)], where the following problem is treated. Let \(L\), \(K\) be rectifiable Jordan curves in the plane such that \(K\) lies in the interior of \(L\) and \(L\) is analytic. Denote by \(G\) the intersection of the interior of \(L\) and the exterior of \(K\). Suppose that the cyclic variation of \(G\) is bounded. Suppose further that \(g\) is a conformal mapping on the open set \(H\), the closure of \(G\) is a subset of \(H\), \(\overline g(H\cap \operatorname{Int} L)\subset \operatorname{Ext} L\), \(\overline g(H\cap \operatorname{Ext} L)\subset \operatorname{Int} L\), \(\overline g(z)=z\) for \(z\in L\), \(\overline g(\overline g(z))=z\) for \(z\in H\), where \(\overline x\) is the conjugate number of \(x\). The solution of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation for \(G\) is looked for in the form \(Wf(z)-Wf(\overline g(z))+a\ln |z-z_0|-a\ln |\overline g(z)-z_0|\), where \(Wf\) is the double layer potential corresponding to the density \(f\) on the boundary \(G\), \(z_0\) is a fixed point in the interior of \(K\) and \(a\) is a number. It was deduced that the density \(f\) is on \(L\) equal to one half of the boundary condition and the problem leads to an integral equation on \(K\). It was shown that for every continuous boundary condition there are a continuous density \(f\) and a number \(a\) such that we can express the solution of the Dirichlet problem in the desired form. The authors generalized this result on the case of bounded measurable boundary conditions and proposed a numerical method for computing of the corresponding density \(f\) and the number \(a\).
