Poisson kernel

In potential theory, the Poisson kernel is an integral kernel, used for solving the two-dimensional Laplace equation, given Dirichlet boundary conditions on the unit disc. The kernel can be understood as the derivative of the Green's function for the Laplace equation. It is named for Siméon Poisson. Poisson kernels commonly find applications in control theory and two-dimensional problems in electrostatics.In practice, the definition of Poisson kernels are often extended to n-dimensional problems.
