In a paper published in 1949, E. R. Love [10] found an integral relation between a separated solution (in oblate spheroidal coordinates) to a particular mixed boundary-value problem and a solution to the same problem using an integral representation. This note examines further representations of the same type which occur in some simple two and three-dimensional potential problems.
