Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper we consider a tri-harmonic Neumann function for the unit disc. The Neumann problem is well studied for harmonic functions and solved under certain conditions via the Neumann functions, sometimes also called Green function of second kind. The tri-harmonic Neumann function is constructed in an explicit way for the unit disc of the complex plane by convoluting the harmonic function with a bi-harmonic Neumann function. With this Neumann function an integral representation formula is developed for the tri-harmonic operator.
