Khavinson–Shapiro conjecture for planar domains
Khavinson–Shapiro conjecture for planar domains
Let be a bounded domain whose boundary consists of finitely many non-intersecting Jordan curves. For each polynomial boundary datum on , consider the solution of the Dirichlet problem on , namely a function harmonic on , continuous on , and equal to the datum on . Khavinson–Shapiro conjecture. If the solution of the Dirichlet problem on with every polynomial datum is again polynomial, then must be an ellipse. This is known for ellipses, but the conjecture remains open in general; the paper proves it under an additional algebraic-harmonic-function hypothesis.
