Neumann problem on a torus

Abstract: We consider the Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping and the Neumann problem for the Laplace operator on a torus, given in toroidal coordinates. The Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping is expressed with respect to series expansions in toroidal harmonics and thereby reduced to algebraic manipulations on the coefficients. A method for computing the numerical solutions of the corresponding Neumann problem is presented, and numerical illustrations are provided. We combine the results for interior and exterior domains to solve the Neumann problem for a toroidal shell.
