Let u be a δ -subharmonic function with associated measure μ , and let v be a superharmonic function with associated measure ν , on an open set E . For any closed ball B ( x , r ) , of centre x and radius r , contained in E , let ( u , x , r ) denote the mean value of u over the surface of the ball. We prove that the upper and lower limits as s , t 0 with 0 < s < t of the quotient ( ( u , x , s ) - ( u , x , t ) ) / ( ( v , x , s ) - ( v , x , t ) ) , lie between the upper and lower limits as r 0 + of the quotient μ ( B ( x , r ) ) / ν ( B ( x , r ) ) . This enables us to use some well-known measure-theoretic results to prove new variants and generalizations of several theorems about δ -subharmonic functions.

AB - Let $u$ be a $\delta $-subharmonic function with associated measure $\mu $, and let $v$ be a superharmonic function with associated measure $\nu $, on an open set $E$. For any closed ball $B(x,r)$, of centre $x$ and radius $r$, contained in $E$, let ${\mathcal {M}}(u,x,r)$ denote the mean value of $u$ over the surface of the ball. We prove that the upper and lower limits as $s,t\rightarrow 0$ with $0<s<t$ of the quotient $({\mathcal {M}}(u,x,s)-{\mathcal {M}}(u,x,t))/({\mathcal {M}}(v,x,s)-{\mathcal {M}}(v,x,t))$, lie between the upper and lower limits as $r\rightarrow 0+$ of the quotient $\mu (B(x,r))/\nu (B(x,r))$. This enables us to use some well-known measure-theoretic results to prove new variants and generalizations of several theorems about $\delta $-subharmonic functions.
