Here αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1) denote certain angles such that αj αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1). It is known that if r = a satisfies homogeneous boundary conditions on all boundary lines ?in addition to non-homogeneous ones on the circular boundary , then an explicit expression of in terms of eigen-functions can be found through the classical method of separation of variables. But when the boundary?condition given on the circular boundary r = a is homogeneous, it is not possible to define a discrete set of eigen-functions. In this paper one shows that if the homogeneous condition in question is of the Dirichlet (or Neumann) type, then the logarithmic sine transform (or logarithmic cosine transform) defined by (or ) may be effective in solving the problem.
