The poisson integral formula for harmonic functions on the unit disk using maple. The document derives the second partial derivatives of the given function and simplifies it to get zero, demonstrating the sense in which the poisson integral represents a harmonic function as an integral superposition of harmonic functions. The document also provides an example of a harmonic function with boundary values of 1 on a quarter circle and zero on the rest of the circle.

Here’s an example where the boundary values are 1 on a quarter circle, and zero on the
rest of the circle: (Could you write this function using the imaginary part of some complex logarithm
expression?)
u:=(rho,phi)->1/(2Pi)evalf(int((1-rho^2)/(1-2rhocos(theta-phi)
+rho^2),theta=0..Pi/2));

So, without any work, what is the value of this harmonic function at the origin - precisely?
