Atlas.DifferentialAnalysis.code.PoissonUniqueness

A complex-valued function on Euclidean space is harmonic if it is smooth and its Laplacian (sum of pure second partial derivatives along the standard basis directions) vanishes everywhere.

Instances For

    Any smooth function that vanishes at infinity on Euclidean space is globally bounded: combine continuity with the eventually-small tail to get a uniform bound.

    Liouville's theorem in the form used for Poisson uniqueness: a bounded harmonic function on ℝⁿ (n > 0) is constant.

    A constant function on a noncompact Euclidean space that tends to zero at infinity must be zero, since constants converge to themselves and limits are unique.
