Summary

Introduction

We prove a converse of the mean value property for superharmonic and subharmonic functions. The case of harmonic functions was treated by Epstein and Schiffer. Recall that a function u is harmonic (superharmonic, subharmonic) in an open set U ⊂ Rn (n ≥ 1) if u ∈ C2(U) and Δu = 0 (Δu ≤ 0, Δu ≥ 0) on U. Denote by H(U) the space of harmonic functions in U and SH(U) (sH(U)) the subset of C2(U) consisting of superharmonic (subharmonic) functions in U.
