Choose smooth boundary data converging uniformly to , and let be their harmonic extensions. The maximum principle for harmonic functions givesso converges uniformly on to a continuous function with boundary value . Interior derivative estimates make the convergence smooth on compact subsets of , hence is harmonic there. Uniqueness follows by applying the maximum principle to the difference of two solutions.
