Abstract
A generalized potential theory method is used to construct a closed form solution of the axi-symmetric contact problem for a finite system of impressing stamps of angular form in a plane into a half-space occupying the domain

. The problem is reduced to Fredholm integral equation with Macdonald kernel. Also the spectral relationships in spheroidal wave functions are obtained. Many different cases are discussed in this work.
