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 ...

Newtonian potentials of balls and spheres
This is a simple question whose answer was probably known to Poisson, but I was not able to find it by searching. I need explicit formulas for the Newtonian potential of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ ...

Subharmonic distributions on the plane
A subharmonic (Schwartz) distribution on $\mathbf R^n$ is a distribution $u$ satisfying $\Delta u\ge0$. This implies $\Delta u$ is a positive Radon measure $\mu$, thus for any ball $B$ the convolution ...

Potential theory as a tool in extrinsic flows
Let $M \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a submanifold. For a point $x$ disjoint from $M$, we can define the electric potential $\Phi(x) = \int_M \frac{dM}{|x-m|^{n-2}}$, which is smooth and harmonic where ...

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\...

$\log |f|$ is subharmonic
It is known that the logarithm of the modulus of an analytic function $f: D \subset \mathbb C \rightarrow \mathbb C$ ($D$ is a domain) is subharmonic. I have two questions:
(1) Are there some weaker ...

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 ...

Subharmonic function in unbounded regions
The harmonic majorization for a subharmonic function $h$ is well-known for bounded regions $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$:
$$h \le 0 \text{ in }\partial \Omega \Longrightarrow h \le 0 \text{ in }\Omega.$$...

Continuity of subharmonic functions
There is a result saying that the set where a subharmonic function defined on an open set of $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ ($m\geq2$) is discontinuous is a polar set. Could someone give me a reference for this ...

Optimal Holder regularity estimates for the single layer potential
I need a statement that must be classical but it's being very difficult (even after consulting experts) to find a reference. Let's try here!
Let $f$ be a function on the boundary of a bounded domain $...

The origin of Discrete `Liouville's theorem'
It is known that discrete Liouville's theorem for harmonic functions on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ was proved by Heilbronn (On discrete harmonic functions. - Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. , 1949, 45, 194-206).
If ...

Functions between Markov chains that preserve local harmonicity
Given two Markov chains with respective state-spaces $S$ and $T$, say that a function $\phi$ from $S$ to $T$ is holomorphic iff for all states $t \in T$, every real-valued function $f$ on $T$ that is ...

Boundary regularity for the Dirichlet problem
Let us consider the unit ball $B^n$ of $\mathbf{R}^n$ and $K = B^{n-1}(0,1/2) \times \{0\}$ the ball of dimension $n-1$ and radius $1/2$ lying on the equator.
We wish to solve the Dirichlet problem (...
