We develop two methods for solving Laplace's equation on domains that are perturbations of a circle. These methods are derived from governing equations and applied to several test cases. Both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered. We verify our methods by constructing exact solutions for the perturbed geometries.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright of the original work is retained by the author.perturbationLaplacianboundary-variationHarmonic functionsPerturbation (Mathematics)Dirichlet problemNeumann problemDifferential equations, PartialText
