Fix a closed ball B(x,r)⊂D and let τ be its first exit time. By the Strong Markov property, conditioning at τ gives
ϕ(x)=Ex​[ϕ(Xτ​)].
(1)
The orthogonal invariance of Brownian motion implies that Xτ​ is uniformly distributed on the sphere ∂B(x,r). Hence
ϕ(x)=∣∂B(x,r)∣1​∫∂B(x,r)​ϕ(y)dS(y).
(2)
Thus ϕ has the mean value property on every ball compactly contained in D. Since 0≤ϕ≤1, the mean-value characterization of harmonic functions yields
Δϕ=0in D.​
(3)
This function is the harmonic measure of A viewed from x.
