$L^p$ estimate for positive harmonic functions near singularities and B\^{o}cher type theorems

Abstract

In this paper, positive solutions to the Laplace equation with 1-dimensional circular singularities are investigated. First, we establish $L^p$ integrability estimates for such solutions $u$ near the singularities, in comparison with classical $L^1$ estimates. Then we characterize $-\Delta u$ around the circle. The method we developed may also be adapted to higher dimensional as well as more generalized cases.
