examples of harmonic functions on
Some real functions in (e.g. any linear function, or any affine function) are obviously harmonic functions. What are some more interesting harmonic functions?
- •
For , define (on the punctured space ) the function
. Then
and
Summing over shows .
- •
For , define (on the punctured plane ) the function . Derivation and summing yield .
- •
For , the condition forces to be an affine function on every segment; there are no “interesting” harmonic functions in one dimension.
