Shift by a constant and, if necessary, change sign to obtain an entire nonnegative harmonic function . The Harnack inequality for harmonic functions on arbitrarily large balls centred at gives for every . Thus is globally bounded. The interior derivative estimate for a harmonic function now gives on balls of arbitrarily large radius . Letting proves , hence is constant. This proves the one-sided harmonic Liouville theorem in every dimension.
