Surface integrals and harmonic functions.
Let be a gauge function satisfying certain mid regularity conditions. A (signed) finite Borel measure is called -Zygmund if there exists a positive constant such that for any pair of adjacent cubes of the same size. Similarly, is called an - symmetric measure if there exists a positive constant such that for any pair of adjacent cubes of the same size, . We characterize Zygmund and symmetric measures in terms of their harmonic extensions. Also, we show that the quadratic condition...
Some symmetry problems are formulated and solved. New simple proofs are given for some symmetry problems studied earlier. One of the results is as follows: if a single-layer potential of a surface, homeomorphic to a sphere, with a constant charge density, is equal to c/|x| for all sufficiently large |x|, where c > 0 is a constant, then the surface is a sphere.
We study a capacity theory based on a definition of Hajłasz-Besov functions. We prove several properties of this capacity in the general setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. The main results of the paper are lower bound and upper bound estimates for the capacity in terms of a modified Netrusov-Hausdorff content. Important tools are γ-medians, for which we also prove a new version of a Poincaré type inequality.
We study nonnegative functions which are harmonic on a Lipschitz domain with respect to symmetric stable processes. We prove that if two such functions vanish continuously outside the domain near a part of its boundary, then their ratio is bounded near this part of the boundary.
Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin problem for the Laplace equation is investigated on the open set with holes and nonsmooth boundary. The solutions are looked for in the form of a double layer potential and a single layer potential. The measure, the potential of which is a solution of the boundary-value problem, is constructed.
