The solution to the boundary problem

where r is the distance of point (x, y) from the origin, and h is a given function the arc length s along the unit circle r = 1, is not necessarily unique, Boggio (1), Weinstein (2), Stoker (3), Martin (4). Indeed if h is a positive integer m is known that the only solutions regular analytic for r≦1 are

where r, θ denote polar coordinates and A, B are arbitrary constants.
