Summary

A Neumann boundary value problem for the equation rot ν−λν=0 is considered in 29-1 and 29-2. The approach is by transforming the boundary value problem into an equivalent boundary integral equation deduced from a representation formula for solutions of rot ν−λν=0 based on the fundamental solution of the Helmholtz equation. In particular, for the two-dimensional case a detailed discussion of the integral equation is carried out including the approximate solution by numerical integration.
