Summary: It is well-known that the ``standard'' oblique derivative problem, $\Delta u = 0$ in $\Omega$, $\partial u/\partial \nu-u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$ ($\nu$ 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. (English)
