In problems in the mathematical theory of elasticity related to the symmetric deformation of an infinite elastic solid with an external crack we encounter the problem of determining an axisymmetric function φ(ρ, z) which is harmonic in the half-space z>0 and satisfies the mixed boundary conditions

on the plane boundary z = 0, where it is assumed that f(ρ) is continuously differentiable in [1, ∞). Further φ→0 as √(ρ2+z2)→∞.
