Ever since S. Helgason [4] showed that any eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the unit disk is represented by the Poisson integral of a hyperfunction on the unit circle, much interest has been arisen to the study of the Poisson integral representation of joint eigenfunctions of all invariant differential operators on a symmetric space X. In particular, his original idea of expanding eigenfunctions into K-finite functions has proved to be generalizable up to the case where X is a Riemannian symmetric space of rank one (cf. [4], [5], [11]). Presently, extension to arbitrary rank has been completed by quite a different formalism which views the present problem as a boundary-value problem for the differential equations. It should be recalled that along this line of approach a general theory of the systems of differential equations with regular singularities was successfully established by Kashiwara-Oshima (cf. [6], [7]).
