In the mathematical study of partial differential equations, the Bateman transform is a method for solving the Laplace equation in four dimensions and wave equation in three by using a line integral of a holomorphic function in three complex variables.
It is named after the mathematician Harry Bateman, who first published the result in (Bateman 1904).
The formula asserts that if ƒ is a holomorphic function of three complex variables, then is a solution of the Laplace equation, which follows by differentiation under the integral.
Furthermore, Bateman asserted that the most general solution of the Laplace equation arises in this way.
