Weakly harmonic function
This article does not cite any sources. (August 2009) |
In mathematics, a function is weakly harmonic in a domain if
for all with compact support in and continuous second derivatives, where Δ is the Laplacian. This is the same notion as a weak derivative, however, a function can have a weak derivative and not be differentiable. In this case, we have the somewhat surprising result that a function is weakly harmonic if and only if it is harmonic. Thus weakly harmonic is actually equivalent to the seemingly stronger harmonic condition.
