Weighted logarithmic mean characterisation of harmonic functions

About 3 years old · traced to

Let DD be a bounded domain in Rm\mathbb{R}^m, with m⩾2m\geqslant 2. Let Ax(r1,r2)A_x(r_1,r_2) be an admissible annular domain centred at xx, with r2>r1>0r_2>r_1>0, and let Br2(x)B_{r_2}(x) be admissible. Denote by M∘(Sr(x),u)M^\circ(S_r(x),u) the spherical mean of uu over Sr(x)S_r(x), and let rr either attain each value in (r1,r2)(r_1,r_2) or equal rir_i for i=1i=1 or 22. Weighted logarithmic mean conjecture. If u∈C0(D)u\in C^0(D) satisfies, for every x∈Dx\in D and every such Ax(r1,r2)A_x(r_1,r_2),

m∣A(r1,r2)∣∫Ax(r1,r2)u(y)log⁡r∣x−y∣ dy=M∘(Sr(x),u),\frac{m}{|A(r_1,r_2)|}\int_{A_x(r_1,r_2)}u(y)\log\frac{r}{|x-y|}\,\mathrm{d}y=M^\circ(S_r(x),u),

then uu is harmonic in DD. The identity extends the logarithmic weighted mean property of harmonic functions from balls to annular domains; the stated result is presented after the corresponding harmonic characterisations and its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
