Oct 24, 2013 at 7:25 comment added Gatz' I understand. But does the existence of Green's function for $U$ is equivalent to the existence of a barrier for the Dirichlet problem at every point of the boundary $\partial U$ ? My concern was whether there can be an open set $U$ (that does not satisfy the exterior sphere condition) for which Green's function exists but for which the associated Dirichlet problem has no solution ?
Oct 24, 2013 at 5:52 comment added username @Gatz': The Barrier Postulate as you call it implies the unique solvability of the Dirichlet Problem, Thm 2.14 in Gilbard-Trudinger, i.e. it is solvable and the solution is unique.
Oct 23, 2013 at 19:33 comment added Gatz' I'm considering a general open set $U$ that does not satisfy the exterior sphere condition at every point of its boundary. I'm looking for a solution $u \in C^2(U) \cap C(\overline{U})$ such that $\Delta u = 0$ in $U$ and $u_{\left| \partial U \right.} = g$ for some $g \in C(\overline{U})$. If the Barrier Postulate is satisfied, then there exists a solution to the Dirichlet problem, which I assume can be written in terms of $g$ and Green's function for $U$. Now, does the existence of Green's function for $U$ implies the existence of a solution to Dirichlet problem ? Thanks.
