The boundary value problems of generalized potential theory on finite Riemannian manifolds may be regarded as extensions of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for harmonic functions. In the tensor theory there is, in fact, a greater variety of such problems; that is to say, these generalizations from classical potential theory can be made in various ways. We here introduce yet another pair of boundary value problems for the tensor equation of Laplace.
