A criterion for approximability by harmonic functions in Lipschitz spaces

Journal of Mathematical Sciences volume 194, pages 678–692 (2013)Cite this article

Let X be a compact subset of \( {{\mathbb{R}}^3} \), and let f be a function that is harmonic inside X and belongs to the Lipschitz space C γ(X), 0 < γ < 1. A criterion for approximability of f on X in C γ(X) by functions that are harmonic on neighborhoods of X is obtained in terms of the Hausdorff content of order 1 + γ. The proof is completely constructive, and Vitushkin's method of singularities separation and approximation by parts is applied. Bibliography: 15 titles.
