A class of radial measures mu on Rn is defined so that integrable harmonic functions f on Rn may be characterized as solutions of convolution equations f*mu = mu. In particular we show that f*exp(-x)= f is harmonic if and only if n9.

Similarity: Generalizations, Applications and Open Problems
August 11–15, 2008
University of British Columbia
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers who apply similarity analysis to engineering problems, researchers who are developing significant extensions of similarity methods so that they can be applied more widely, numerical analysts...
