Harmonic functions

In mathematics, mathematical physics and the theory of stochastic processes, a harmonic function is a twice continuously differentiablefunction⁠f:U→R{\displaystyle f\colon U\to \mathbb {R} }⁠, where ⁠U{\displaystyle U}⁠ is an open subset of ⁠Rn{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}}⁠, that satisfies Laplace's equation, that is, ∂2f∂x12+∂2f∂x22+⋯+∂2f∂xn2=0{\displaystyle {\frac {\partial ^{2}f}{\partial x_{1}^{2}}}+{\frac {\partial ^{2}f}{\partial x_{2}^{2}}}+\cdots +{\frac {\partial ^{2}f}{\partial x_{n}^{2}}}=0} everywhere on ⁠U{\displaystyle U}⁠.
