On the Construction of Roche Harmonics
Abstract
A method, involving boundary integral equations of the first kind is offered for obtaining exact representations for solutions to interior and exterior harmonic problems. The method is constructive and a representation can be obtained to any degree of accuracy. The determination of Roche harmonics appears as a special case.
