The iterated equation of generalized axially symmetric potential theory [1] is the equation where, in its simplest form, the operator Lk is defined by the function f f(x, y) being assumed to belong to the class of C2n functions and the parameter l to take any real value. In appropriate circumstances, which will be indicated later, the operator can be generalized but as this can be done without altering the methods used, the operator will be taken in the form where r, θ are polar coordinates such that x = r cos θ, y = r sin μ = cosθ.

The iterated equation of generalized axially symmetric potential theory (GASPT) [1] is defined by the relations (1) where (2) and Particular cases of this equation occur in many physical problems. In classical hydrodynamics, for example, the case n = 1 appears in the study of the irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid where, in two-dimensional flow, both the velocity potential φ and the stream function Ψ satisfy Laplace's equation, L0(f) = 0; and, in axially symmetric flow, φ and satisfy the equations L1 (φ) = 0, L-1 (ψ) = 0. The case n = 2 occurs in the study of the Stokes flow of a viscous fluid where the stream function satisfies the equation L2k(ψ) = 0 with k = 0 in two-dimensional flow and k = −1 in axially symmetric flow.
