On the Solution of the Exterior Dirichlet Problem for an Axisymmetric Potential

Abstract

For an unbounded domain of the meridian plane with bounded smooth boundary that satisfies certain additional conditions, we develop a method for the reduction of the Dirichlet problem for an axisymmetric potential to Fredholm integral equations. In the case where the boundary of the domain is a unit circle, we obtain a solution of the exterior Dirichlet problem in explicit form.
