Abstract

In 1907, E. Study gave a geometric proof of the classical Schwarz reflection principle for harmonic functions. We show that this method can also be used to obtain the more general point-to-point reflection formula for polyharmonic functions in 2. The advantage of this method over others is that it avoids use of Garabedian´s generalized Green´s functions.
