Let be a noncompact Riemannian manifold of dimension . Then there exists a proper embedding of into by harmonic functions on . It is easy to find harmonic functions which give an embedding. However, it is more difficult to achieve properness. The proof depends on the theorems of Lax-Malgrange and Aronszajn-Cordes in the theory of elliptic equations.
