Harnack inequality on the unit disk

ID: harnack-inequality-on-the-unit-disk

For a nonnegative harmonic function on the unit disc, the displayed inequalities are sharp. Apply the Poisson integral on the unit disk on radius , bound its positive kernel between and its reciprocal, and use the mean value property for harmonic functions. Letting proves the assertion. Positive Poisson kernels with one boundary pole give equality in the appropriate radial directions.
