An arbitrary point of the Euclidean space Rn+1, where n > 1, is denoted by (X, y), where X ∈ Rn and y ∈ R, and we denote the Euclidean norm on Rn by ∥·∥. If h is harmonic on the half-space Ω = {(X, y): y > 0}, then we define extended real-valued functions m and M as follows:and

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.

If f is an entire function in the complex plane such thatwhere 0 ≤ α < 1, and all the derivatives of f at 0 are integers, then it is easy to show that f is a polynomial (see e.g. Straus [10]). The best possible result of this type was proved by Pólya [9]. The main aim of this paper is to prove two analogous results for harmonic functions defined in the whole of the Euclidean space Rn, where n ≥ 2 (i.e. entire harmonic functions).

We discuss the behavior at infinity of modified Poisson integral and Green potential on a half-space of then-dimensional Euclidean space, which generalizes the growth properties of analytic functions, harmonic functions and superharmonic functions.

Let Rn be the real n-dimensional euclidean space. Elements of Rn are denoted by x = (xl • • •, xn), and ‖ x ‖ denotes the euclidean norm of x.The open ball B(x, r) with center x and radius r is defined by

The aim of this paper is to discuss the behavior at infinity of modified ?-potentials represented by the modified kernels in the upper-half space of the n-dimensional Euclidean space, which generalizes the growth properties of analytic functions, harmonic functions and superharmonic functions.

1. If f is a real-valued function possessing a Taylor series convergent in (a — R, a + R), then it satisfies the following operational identity1.1in which D2 = d2/du2. Furthermore, when g is a solution of y″ + λ2y = 0 in (a – R, a + R), then g is such a function and (1.1) specializes to1.2In this note we generalize these results to the real Euclidean space EN, our conclusions being Theorems 1 and 2 below. Clearly, (1.2) is a special case of (1.1) but in higher-dimensional space it is of interest to allow g, now a solution of1.3to possess singularities at isolated points away from the origin. It is then necessary to consider not only a neighbourhood of the origin but annular regions also.

The classical uniqueness theorem of Nagumo [1] for ordinary differential equations is as follows.Theorem. If f(t, y) is continuous on 0≤t≤1, -∞<y<∞ and ifthen there is at most one solution to the initial value problem y'=f(t, y), y(0)=0.
