Weakly harmonic function

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a function f is weakly harmonic in a domain D if

\int_D f\, \Delta g = 0

for all g with compact support in D and continuous second derivatives, where Δ is the Laplacian. This definition is weaker than the definition of harmonic function because it doesn't require that f is a twice continuously differentiable function. If it is the case, this definition is then equivalent to the definition of harmonic function.
