Harmonic Liouville theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A bounded harmonic function on the complex plane is constant. More generally, an entire harmonic function bounded on either side is constant: write it as by harmonic function as the real part of a holomorphic function, then apply the Liouville theorem to or .
Maximum principle for harmonic functions Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A continuous function harmonic on a bounded domain attains its maximum and minimum on the boundary. Apply the strictly subharmonic result to and let , then apply the same argument to .
Subharmonic function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For , subharmonic means , using the Laplacian . The strict inequality defines strict subharmonicity and is stronger. Every harmonic function is therefore subharmonic, even though its Laplacian vanishes.[ref]
The general definition allows an upper-semicontinuous function , not identically on any connected component, satisfying the ball mean inequality
For locally integrable functions, distributional nonnegativity of produces this canonical representative. An arbitrary change at one point need not preserve the mean inequality, which is why the representative matters.
The example has , while is subharmonic for every . More generally, is subharmonic for a holomorphic function and . At a strict interior maximum of a twice differentiable function, the Hessian matrix is negative semidefinite; the maximum principle for subharmonic functions extends this elementary obstruction to the non-strict and nonsmooth setting.

Interior derivative estimate for a harmonic function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If is harmonic on , then for every integer ,
The first-order estimate follows by differentiating the ball mean-value formula and applying the divergence theorem; iteration gives higher orders.
Weyl lemma Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The Weyl lemma says that every locally integrable distributional solution of agrees almost everywhere with a smooth harmonic function. Convolution with a mollifier and the harmonic mean value property provide a standard proof.
Mean value property for harmonic functions Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For every closed ball contained in the domain of a harmonic function, the value at its centre equals both its average over the ball and its average over the boundary sphere.

A point outside a nonempty closed convex subset of a normed space can be strictly separated from it by the real part of a bounded linear functional.
Singular functional on L infinity Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Point evaluation at zero is bounded on with the essential-supremum norm, and Hahn--Banach extends it to a bounded functional on . No represents this extension: continuous functions supported in shrinking neighbourhoods of zero have value one at zero while their integrals against tend to zero. Hence is strictly larger than .
