Fix and . Choose in the Perron family with , replace successive terms by finite maxima using part (i), and take their harmonic lifts on . The lifts remain in the family, are increasing, and are uniformly bounded. Interior estimates and the Arzela-Ascoli theorem give a harmonic limit on with and .
If somewhere in , take another family member larger than and repeat the maximum-and-lift construction. Its harmonic limit satisfies and . The strong minimum principle for elliptic operators forces , contradicting the strict inequality at . Thus on . Since was arbitrary, is smooth and harmonic in . This is the Perron method for the Dirichlet problem.
Every boundary point of satisfies the exterior sphere condition. For a point on the inner spherical boundary, use a smaller ball inside the removed ball and tangent at that point; for a point on the cube, use a ball in a supporting exterior half-space. If the exterior ball has centre and radius , a local positive harmonic barrier is
for , while in two dimensions use . Adding a sufficiently large positive multiple of a global superharmonic function extends the local barrier across the bounded domain. Hence every boundary point is regular by part (v), and the Perron method for the Dirichlet problem produces a harmonic function attaining the prescribed continuous boundary data. The maximum principle for harmonic functions gives uniqueness.
