Question: For which unbounded domains $D$ does the condition $\liminf_{x\to y}u(x)\geq0$ for all $y$ in $\partial D$ (the finite boundary of $D$), imply that $ u$ in nonnegative in $D$ for bounded subharmonic functions in $D$? (Remark: The stipulation that $u$ must be bounded was missing in the first version of this answer, thanks to Mateusz Kwaśnicki for pointing that out.) Answer: The exact criterion is $(*)$ The point at infinity should have zero harmonic measure in $\partial^\infty D$, i.e., Brownian motion $W_t$ started at a point in $D$ should hit $\partial D$ almost surely. Indeed, if $(*)$ holds, then the required inequality follows from the supermartingale property of $u(W_t)$ for superharmonic $u$. And if $(*)$ does, not hold define $-u(x0$ to be the harmonic measure of the point at infinity for Brownian motion started at $x$. There are several other equivalent criteria: (1) The Martin capacity of $\partial D \setminus B(0,R)$ should be be bounded away from zero as $R \to \infty$; (2) A Wiener test in terms of Greenian capacity: Consider the shells $S_k=B(0,2^k) \setminus B(0,2^{k-1})$. Then the requirement is $$\sum_{k \ge 1} 2^{k(2-d)} \cdot \text{Cap}_G (\partial D \cap S_k) =\infty \,.$$ [1] Benjamini, Itai, Robin Pemantle, and Yuval Peres. "Martin capacity for Markov chains."
