Neumann problems for Laplace's equation determine uu only up to a constant

Let u1u_1 and u2u_2 be solutions of Δu=0\Delta u=0 in D, ∂u/∂n=g(s)\partial u/\partial n=g(s) on ∂D\partial D, where D is the ellipse x2/4+y2/9≤1x^2/4+y^2/9\le1. If u1(0,12)−u2(0,12)=1u_1(0,\tfrac12)-u_2(0,\tfrac12)=1, then:
