Abstract

The eigenfunctions for four types of bounded plane domains are constructed by a group-theoretic method. The group theory is then used to prove a completeness theorem and to derive a theta function transformation formula. Rapidly convergent series for the Green's functions of the Laplace operator on these domains are then constructed. Final formulas are summarized without reference to group theory.
