Let D be a domain in Euclidean space of d dimensions and K a compact subset of D. The well known Harnack inequality assures the existence of a positive constant A depending only on D and K such that (l/A)u(x)<u(y)<Au(x) for all x and y in K and all positive harmonic functions u on D. In this we obtain a global integral version of this inequality under geometrical conditions on the domain. The result is the following: suppose D is a Lipschitz domain satisfying the uniform exterior sphere condition—stated in Section 2. If u is harmonic in D with continuous boundary data f thenwhere ds is the d — 1 dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary ժD. A large class of domains satisfy this condition. Examples are C2-domains, convex domains, etc.

The study of the Dirichlet problem in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ with arbitrary measurable data for harmonic functions is due to the famous dissertation of Luzin [31]. Later on, the known monograph of Vekua \cite{Ve} has been devoted to boundary-value problems (only with H\"older continuous data) for the generalized analytic functions, i.e., continuous complex valued functions $h(z)$ of the complex variable $z=x+iy$ with generalized first partial derivatives by Sobolev satisfying equations of the form $\partial_{\bar z}h\, +\, ah\, +\ b{\overline h}\, =\, c\, ,$ where it was assumed that the complex valued functions $a,b$ and $c$ belong to the class $L^{p}$ with some $p>2$ in smooth enough domains $D$ in $\mathbb C$. The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincar\'{e} and, in particular, Neumann boundary-value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic, and the so-called $A-$harmonic functions with boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. Here, we extend the corresponding results to the generalized analytic functions $h:D\to\mathbb C$ with the sources $g$ : $\partial_{\bar z}h\ =\ g\in L^p$, $p>2\,$, and to generalized harmonic functions $U$ with sources $G$ : $\triangle\, U=G\in L^p$, $p>2\,$. This paper contains various theorems on the existence of nonclassical solutions of the Riemann and Hilbert boundary-value problems with arbitrary measurable (with respect to logarithmic capacity) data for generalized analytic functions with sources. Our approach is based on the geometric (theoretic-functional) interpretation of boundary-values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. On this basis, it is established the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincar\'{e} problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations $\triangle\, U=G$ with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to logarithmic capacity. These results can be also applied to semi-linear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.

We extend the notion of quasibounded harmonic functions to the plurisubharmonic setting. As an application, using the theory of Jensen measures, we show that certain generalized Dirichlet problems with unbounded boundary data admit unique solutions, and that these solutions are continuous outside a pluripolar set.

Several energies measuring jump discontinuities of a unit length gradient field are considered and are called defect energies. The main example is a total variation I(φ) of the hessian of a function φ in a domain. It is shown that the distance function is the unique minimiser of I(φ) among all non-negative Lipschitz solutions of the eikonal equation |grad φ| = 1 with zero boundary data, provided that the domain is a two-dimensional convex domain. An example shows that the distance function is not a minimiser of I if the domain is noncovex. This suggests that the selection mechanism by I is different from that in the theory of viscosity solutions in general. It is often conjectured that the minimiser of a defect energy is a distance function if the energy is formally obtained as a singular limit of some variational problem. Our result suggests that this conjecture is very subtle even if it is true.

Let M be a Cartan-Hadamard manifold of dimension n (n ≥ 2). Suppose that M satisfies for every x > M outside a compact set an inequality:where b, A are positive constants and A > 4. Then M admits a wealth of bounded harmonic functions, more precisely, the Dirichlet problem of the Laplacian of M at infinity can be solved for any continuous boundary data on Sn−1(∞).

AbstractIt is shown that the Dirichlet problem for the slab (a, b) × ℝd with entire boundary data has an entire solution. The proof is based on a generalized Schwarz reflection principle. Moreover, it is shown that for a given entire harmonic function g, the inhomogeneous difference equation h(t + 1, y) − h(t, y) = g(t, y) has an entire harmonic solution h.

We provide closed formulas for (unique) solutions of nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problems on balls involving any positive power [Formula: see text] of the Laplacian. We are able to prescribe values outside the domain and boundary data of different orders using explicit Poisson-type kernels and a new notion of higher-order boundary operator, which recovers normal derivatives if [Formula: see text]. Our results unify and generalize previous approaches in the study of polyharmonic operators and fractional Laplacians. As applications, we show a novel characterization of [Formula: see text]-harmonic functions in terms of Martin kernels, a higher-order fractional Hopf Lemma, and examples of positive and sign-changing Green functions.

The present paper is a natural continuation of our last articles on the Riemann, Hilbert, Dirichlet, Poincaré, and, in particular, Neumann boundary-value problems for quasiconformal, analytic, harmonic functions and the so-called A-harmonic functions with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to the logarithmic capacity. Here, we extend the corresponding results to generalized analytic functions h : D→C with sources g : ∂z-h = g ∈ Lp , p > 2, and to generalized harmonic functions U with sources G : ΔU =G ∈Lp , p > 2. Our approach is based on the geometric (functional-theoretic) interpretation of boundary values in comparison with the classical operator approach in PDE. Here, we will establish the corresponding existence theorems for the Poincaré problem on directional derivatives and, in particular, for the Neumann problem to the Poisson equations ΔU =G with arbitrary boundary data that are measurable with respect to the logarithmic capacity. A few mixed boundary-value problems are considered as well. These results can be also applied to semilinear equations of mathematical physics in anisotropic and inhomogeneous media.
