Rado's theorem (Theorem)
Theorem 1 (Rado)   Suppose $\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^2$ is a convex domain with a smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$ and suppose that ${\mathbb{D}}$ is the unit disc. Then given any homeomorphism $\mu : \partial {\mathbb{D}} \rightarrow \partial \Omega$ there exists a unique harmonic function $u : {\mathbb{D}} \rightarrow \Omega$ such that $u = \mu$ on $\partial {\mathbb{D}}$ and $u$ is a diffeomorphism.
