Mean value theorem for harmonic functions on ellipsoid

Let me expand Aaron's answer: there is a mean value theorem with any centrally symmetric surface. You integrate your harmonic function on the surface against the harmonic measure at the center, and y …

Integrability of the Poisson integral

Equation $\Delta u=0$ is called the Laplace equation, btw. Edit. The answer to your question is no. Consider $f(z)=1/(z+i)$. On the real line it belongs to $L^p$ with any $p>1$. In the upper half-pl …

Is $\int_M\Delta u = 0$ if $u$ is not $C^2$ on a set of measure zero?

You have to say what is the meaning of $\Delta u$, and of $\int\Delta u$. For the integral to have a meaning, $u$ has to be a distribution and $\Delta u$ has to be a (signed, Radon) measure. Such dist …

Heating a long cylinder: steady states

To separate contribution of the "ends" and the lateral surface, write $w=u+v$, where $u$ has zero boundary conditions on the lateral surface, and $v$ is zero on the ends. The estimate $|u|\leq Ce^{-kt …

Analytic extension of the exterior Newtonian potential into the domain

You must specify more exactly what do you mean by "singular analytic" (what singularities are allowed). Some version of this problem was investigated in arXiv:1309.5483, and in the literature mention …

Dirichlet Problem Solvable when every component of the complement of the domain consists of ...

If they are talking about the Laplace operator, this statement is true only in dimension 2. And this is only sufficient, not necessary. In general, for solvability of the classical Dirichlet problem, …

Extendability of $L^{p}$ harmonic functions

For every $n$ and for every regular region (in the sense of Dirichlet problem), it is easy to construct a harmonic function in $L^\infty$ that does not extend to any larger open set. Just solve the Di …

Conformal hyperbolic metrics with mixed cone and cusp singularities

This is correct, and the same proof as in McOwen and Troyanov should work. In fact they were not the first who proved this result. The story begins with E. Picard, who wrote several papers on this (al …

Reference for harmonic functions in cylinders

First, some general background. For a bounded domain, the boundary value problem is solved by the Poisson formula, however an explicit form of the Poisson kernel for a cylinder of finite length is pro …

Oscillation and Hölder continuity

Just prove it yourself: Take $r=1$. Then $$w(x_0,2^{-n})\leq \lambda^n w(x_0,1)=:C\lambda^n.$$ To estimate $|u(x_0)-u(y)|$, where $y$ is close to $x_0$, choose $n$ so that $|x_0-y|\in[2^{-n-1},2^{-n} …

Does the pointwise mean value property imply harmonicity?

This question was addressed by Hansen and Nadirashvili in a series of papers, see, for example: MR1315353 Hansen, W., Nadirashvili, N., On Veech's conjecture for harmonic functions. Ann. Scuola Norm. …

Boundary behavior of Greens functions on smooth bounded (planar) domains

This follows from the so-called (Eberhard) Hopf Minimum Principle. If you have a positive (super-) harmonic function $u$ in a ball, and $u(z_0)=0$ for some boundary point $z_0$, then the normal deriva …

Solution of Poisson equation vanishing at the boundary of any order

No. Take any $u$ which is not zero, but compactly supported in $\Omega$. Then define $f=\Delta u$; it will be also compactly supported, and non-zero.

Continuation (extension) of harmonic functions

The answer is no. Let $M$ be a region in the upper half-space $x_1>0$ in $R^n$, (you can take $n=2$) and $\partial M$ contains an open piece $U$ of the plane $x_1=0$. Take $f=0$ in $U$. Then your harm …

What is the limit of the derivative of the harmonic extension/Dirichlet solution in $C^{1,\a...

Your guess is wrong. Take real $f$, for example, then harmonic extension is also real, and its derivative is singular. In general, I do not expect a simple answer. And certainly the answer cannot depe …
