Harmonic function properties on $\mathbb R^3$

Let $X$ be the set of all harmonic functions external to the unit sphere on $\mathbb R^3$ which vanish at infinity, so if $V \in X$, then $\nabla^2 V(\mathbf{r}) = 0$ on $\mathbb R^3 - S(2)$ and $\...

Points where harmonic functions fail to give a coordinates system

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^n$ with a smooth boundary and let $g$ be a smooth Riemannian metric on $\Omega$. Let $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n$ be non-constant smooth functions on $\partial \...

Vanishing rate of a harmonic function near a boundary point

Let $u(x, y)$ be a harmonic function on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^+$, that is, $$\partial_x^2 u(x, y) + \partial_y^2 u(x, y) = 0$$ for $x \in \mathbb{R}, y>0$. Assume $u(x, ...

harmonic extension of a curve by different parametrization

Let us consider a curve $\gamma :S^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ (or even a planar convex one if it simplifies). Then I look to the harmonic extension to the disc $h:\mathbb{D}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ (...

Regularity of solution to Laplacian equation with Neumann data on Lipschitz domain

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $u\in H^1(\Omega)$ be a weak solution to \begin{equation} \begin{cases} -\Delta u=0 \quad &\mbox{in $\Omega$}\\ \frac{\partial ...

Is a specific product function orthogonal to all harmonic functions

Suppose $\Omega=[-1,1]^3$. Let $f:[-1,1]\to \mathbb R$ and $g:[-1,1]^2\to \mathbb R$ be smooth functions and suppose that given any harmonic function on $\Omega$ (i.e. $\Delta u =0$ on $\Omega$), with ...

Harmonic interpolation with analytic initial condition

Let $n>1$ and $M\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a (sufficiently low dimensional) compact analytic submanifold. Assume that $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ is an analytic function. Is there a Harmonic ...

Why a cone/parabolic set for the nontangential maximal function?

Suppose $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Then the Dirichlet BVP for the Laplace equation $\Delta u = 0$ in the upper-half plane $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ with boundary value $f$ can be solved by ...

Linear elliptic equation

Let $\Delta:=\partial_z\,\partial_{\overline {z}} $ be the Laplacian operator. I look for a particular non-trivial solution $u$ of $$\Delta u=\frac{a}{1-|z|^2}u$$ where $u\in C^2(\mathbb{D})$ and $a\...

Dirichlet problem for an elliptic operator

consider de Dirichlet problem $Lu=0$ on the unit ball B of $\Bbb C^n$ and $u=f$ on the unit sphere $S^{2n-1}$, we suppose that $L$ is an elliptic operator. My question is there is a formula of the ...

The reproducing kernel for harmonics on compact manifolds

Page 39, proposition 1.1.3 here, http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis610/sharmonics.pdf clearly explains how for every ``level" (the parameter $k$ in the proposition) one can construct a function ("kernel") ...

The decay rate of the spectrum of the Gaussian kernel on compact manifolds

It seems that the $k^{th}$ largest eigenvalue of the intergral operator induced on $S^n$ by the Gaussian kernel, $e^{-\frac{\vert \vec{x} - \vec{y} \vert _2^2}{2\sigma^2}}$ decays as $k^{-k}$. This is ...

Harmonic functions in infinite domain in Euclidean space

EDIT: Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary. Let $f\colon \mathbb{R}^n\backslash \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function which is harmonic in $\mathbb{R}^n\...

Harmonic/Subharmonic lifting of functions on an annulus

Suppose $\Omega_1, \Omega_2 \subset R^2$ are bounded open regions with $\Omega_1 \Subset \Omega_2$. Let $f_1\in C(\partial \Omega_1)$ and $f_2\in C(\partial \Omega_2)$. Is there a function $h\in H^1(\...
