Abstract

Let denote the class of positive harmonic functions on a bounded domain Ω in N . Let S be a sphere contained in Ω ¯ , and let σ denote the ( N - 1 ) -dimensional measure. We give a condition on Ω which guarantees that there exists a constant K , depending only on Ω and S , such that S u d σ K Ω u d σ for every u C ( Ω ¯ ) . If this inequality holds for every such u , then it also holds for a large class of non-negative subharmonic functions. For certain types of domains explicit values for K are given. In particular the classical value K = 2 for convex domains is slightly improved.

AB - Let ${\mathcal {H}}$ denote the class of positive harmonic functions on a bounded domain $\Omega $ in $\mathbb {R}^N$. Let $S$ be a sphere contained in $\overline{\Omega }$, and let $\sigma $ denote the $(N-1)$-dimensional measure. We give a condition on $\Omega $ which guarantees that there exists a constant $K$, depending only on $\Omega $ and $S$, such that $\int _Su\,d\sigma \le K\int _{\partial \Omega }u\,d\sigma $ for every $u\in {\mathcal {H}}\cap C(\overline{\Omega })$. If this inequality holds for every such $u$, then it also holds for a large class of non-negative subharmonic functions. For certain types of domains explicit values for $K$ are given. In particular the classical value $K=2$ for convex domains is slightly improved.
