Harmonic Function Theory
by Sheldon Axler, Paul Bourdon, Wade Ramey · Springer
Graduate Texts in Mathematics volume developing harmonic functions on Euclidean space: mean value and maximum principles, Poisson integrals, Harnack's inequality, bounded harmonic functions, harmonic polynomials, and the Dirichlet problem. Readers gain a self-contained command of classical harmonic function theory using only real analysis.
