The primary objective of the present work is the establishment of a "Boundary Harnack Principle" for harmonic functions which vanish on part of the boundary of a Lipschitz domain in Rn and a corresponding result for solutions of the heat equation. The statements of these properties arise naturally from a not-so-familar formulation of the standard Harnack principle, a formulation which is suggested by a necessary condition for the uniqueness statement of the principle of positive singularities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
