What is Asymptotic analysis of harmonic functions in singular domains with inhomogenous Robin boundary conditions about?

In 1991, Vladimir Maz'ya, Serguei Nazarov and Boris Plamenevskij developed the theory of compound asymptotics for elliptic boundary value problems in singularly perturbed domains. They considered a harmonic function whose domain contains a small inclusion. We applied this technique in the analysis of a Nematic liquid crystal with a small colloidal inclusion. However, we realised that the Maz'ya, Nazarov and Plamenevskij did not consider the asymptotic analysis of Robin boundary conditions, which corresponded to weak anchoring in the context of liquid crystals. In this piece we shall derive an asymptotic approximation to a harmonic function, in a domain with a small circular inclusion of radius $\epsilon>0$, with inhomogenous Robin boundary conditions and a corresponding parameter $\kappa>0$. We shall then prove that the difference between the exact solution and the approximation is uniformly bounded and derive the rate as a function of $\epsilon$ and $\kappa$.
