Harnack's principle

In complex analysis, Harnack's principle or Harnack's theorem is one of several closely related theorems about the convergence of sequences of harmonic functions, that follow from Harnack's inequality. In complex analysis, Harnack's principle or Harnack's theorem is one of several closely related theorems about the convergence of sequences of harmonic functions, that follow from Harnack's inequality. If the functions u 1 ( z ) {displaystyle u_{1}(z)} , u 2 ( z ) {displaystyle u_{2}(z)} , ... are harmonic in an open connected subset G {displaystyle G} of the complex plane C, and in every point of G {displaystyle G} , then the limit either is infinite in every point of the domain G {displaystyle G} or it is finite in every point of the domain, in both cases uniformly in each compact subset of G {displaystyle G} . In the latter case, the function is harmonic in the set G {displaystyle G} .
