Abstract:
Let BR be an open ball of radius R in Rn with the center at zero,
B0,R=BR∖{0}, and a function f be harmonic in B0,R. If f has zero residue
at the point x=0, then the flow of its gradient through any sphere lying in B0,R is zero. In
this paper, the reverse phenomenon is studied for the case when only spheres of one or two fixed
radii r1 и r2 are allowed. A description of the class
Hr(B0,R)={f∈C∞(B0,R):∫Sr(x)∂f∂ndω=0∀x∈BR−r∖Sr}
was found, where r∈(0,R/2), Sr(x)={y∈Rn:|y−x|=r}, Sr=Sr(0). It is
proved that if r1/r2 is not a ratio of the zeros of the Bessel function Jn/2 and
f∈(Hr1∩Hr2)(B0,R), then the function f is harmonic in
B0,R and Res(f,0)=0. This result cannot be significantly improved. Namely, if
r1/r2=α/β, where Jn/2(α)=Jn/2(β)=0, or R<r1+r2, then there
exists a function f∈C∞(BR) non-harmonic in
B0,R and such that
∫Srj(x)∂f∂ndω=0,x∈BR−rj,j∈{1;2}.
In addition, the condition f∈C∞(B0,R) cannot be replaced, generally speaking, by
the requirement f∈Cs(BR) for an arbitrary fixed s∈N.
