The Dirichlet Problem And Its Physical Motivations, Andrew E. Pitts
Honors Theses
In this work, we explore the basics of harmonic function theory and its relationship to problems in the theory of heat diffusion. In particular, we will focus on the classical Dirichlet problem.

Problems In Harmonic Function Theory, Ronald A. Walker
Honors Theses
Harmonic Function Theory is a field of differential mathematics that has both many theoretical constructs and physical connections, as well as its store of classical problems.
One such problem is the Dirichlet Problem. While the proof of the existence of a solution is well-founded on basic theory, and general methods for polynomial solutions have been well studied, much ground is still yet to be overturned. In this paper we focus on the examination, properties and computation methods and limitations, of solutions for rational boundary functions.
Another area that we shall study is the properties and generalizations of the zero sets …
