Nonuniqueness for some linear oblique derivative problems for elliptic equations

It is well-known that the “standard” oblique derivative problem, Δ u = 0 in Ω , u / ν - u = 0 on Ω ( ν is the unit inner normal) has a unique solution even when the boundary condition is not assumed to hold on the entire boundary. When the boundary condition is modified to satisfy an obliqueness condition, the behavior at a single boundary point can change the uniqueness result. We give two simple examples to demonstrate what can happen.
