Abstract

O. Perron introduced his celebrated method for the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions in 1923. The method produces two solution candidates for given boundary values, an upper solution and a lower solution. A central issue is then to determine when the two solutions are actually the same function. The classical result in this direction is Wiener’s resolutivity theorem: the upper and lower solutions coincide for all continuous boundary values. We discuss the resolutivity theorem and the related notions for the porous medium equation ut −∆u = 0
