Khavinson's gradient-direction conjecture for bounded harmonic functions
Khavinson's gradient-direction conjecture for bounded harmonic functions
Let denote the space of bounded harmonic functions on the unit ball . For and , let be the best constant such that
for every , and let be the best constant such that
For , define the radial unit vector . Khavinson's conjecture. For every ,
Khavinson's conjecture asserts that the direction of the radial derivative gives the sharp constant for the modulus of the gradient of a bounded harmonic function in the unit ball. The paper presents a proof of the conjecture, so the conjecture is resolved.
