Problem

Find the function ϕ(x,y)\phi(x,y) that is harmonic in the upper half-disk y>0y > 0, ∣z∣<1|z| < 1 and has the boundary values ϕ(x,y)=5 for x+iy=z=eiθ,  0<θ<π;\phi(x,y) = 5 \text{ for } x + iy = z = e^{i\theta},\; 0 < \theta < \pi; ϕ(x,0)=−5 for −1<x<1.\phi(x,0) = -5 \text{ for } -1 < x < 1.
