Harmonicity conjecture for the limiting solution outside the support of the datum

Let cOmegacOmega be a bounded domain, let comegasubsetsubsetcOmegacomegasubsetsubsetcOmega be the region where the nonnegative datum is supported, and let uu be the function given by Theorem 1 with M(x)IM(x)\equiv I. Harmonicity conjecture. The function uu is a classical solution of

{Δu=0in Ωω,u=1on ω,u=0on Ω.\begin{cases} -\Delta u = 0 & \text{in $\Omega \setminus \overline{\omega}$,} \\ u = 1 & \text{on $\partial\omega$,} \\ u = 0 & \text{on $\partial\Omega$.} \end{cases}

This conjecture extends the one-dimensional observation to dimensions N>1N>1: outside the region supporting the nonnegative datum, the limiting solution should be harmonic with boundary values 11 on the inner boundary and 00 on the outer boundary. The source presents this as an open problem and gives no resolution.
