Difference equation satisfied by discrete harmonic functions on square lattice

A function $f:\mathbb Z^2 \rightarrow \mathbb R$ is said to be discrete harmonic if it satisfies the discrete Laplacian equation $$ \Delta f(m,n) = f(m+1,n)+f(m-1,n)+f(m,n+1)+f(m,n-1)-4f(m,n) = 0~. $$ ...

" Laurent expansion" of quasi-periodic complex complex function

Suppose a complex function $f(z)$ depends only on $z$, and satisfies the quasi-periodicity in both directions: $$f(z+ a_x)= e^{i \theta_{a_x}} f(z)$$ $$f(z+ i a_y)= e^{i \theta_{a_y}} f(z)$$ where $\...
