It is the Laplace equation in cylindrical coordinates with symmetry about y-axe.
You can solve it by variable separation, once given the boundary condition:
phi(x,y)=X(x)Y(y)

X''+X'/x+cX=0 (in x, 0-order Bessel equation)
Y''-cY=0 (in y)
c=arbitrary positive/negative real constant
 
Thanks, roberto, i got it
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.
