Abstract:
Using a compactness argument, we introduce a
Phragmen Lindelof type theorem for functions
with bounded Laplacian. The technique is very useful
in studying unbounded free boundary problems near the
infinity point and also in approximating integrable
harmonic functions by those that decrease rapidly at
infinity. The method is flexible in the sense
that it can be applied to any operator which admits
the standard elliptic estimate.
