Abstract

Abstract Using a relation between representation theory of crystallographic space groups and a Dirichlet type of boundary problem for the Laplacian, we derive the solutions for the Dirichlet problem, as well as for a similar Neumann boundary problem, by a complete decomposition of plane waves into irreducible representations of a particular space group. This decomposition corresponds to a basis transformation in L2(Ω) and yields a new set of basis functions adapted to the symmetry of the lattice considered.
