The Strong Markov property at the first visit to gives the singleton equilibrium potential from the Green functionLet be an increasing exhaustion of by finite sets containing , and let be the Green function of a transient weighted graph stopped on leaving . Each has finite support. The Green identity and the Markov property give, for ,By the monotone convergence theorem, the right side tends to zero as , while . Thus is an limit of finitely supported functions. Dividing by the positive number proves .
