State the convolution theorem for Fourier transforms.
The function ϕ(x,y) satisfies
∇2ϕ=0
on the half-plane y⩾0, subject to the boundary conditions
ϕ→0 as y→∞ for all xϕ(x,0)={1,0,∣x∣⩽1∣x∣>1
Using Fourier transforms, show that
ϕ(x,y)=πy∫−11y2+(x−t)21 dt
and hence that
ϕ(x,y)=π1[tan−1(y1−x)+tan−1(y1+x)]
