Isolated singularities of super-polyharmonic functions (Q1766340)

A function \(u\) which is lower-semicontinuous and locally integrable on an open set \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) \((n\geq 2)\) is called super-polyharmonic of order \(m\) if every point of \(\Omega\) is a Lebesgue point of \(u\) and \((-\Delta)^mu\geq 0\) in the sense of distributions. The authors establish representation theorems for super-polyharmonic functions \(u\) on a punctured ball centred at the origin in the case where \(u\) satisfies a certain growth condition (involving spherical mean values) near \(0\). Related results for polyharmonic functions had previously been obtained by \textit{D. H. Armitage} [Hiroshima Math. J. 31, No. 3, 367--370 (2001; Zbl 1001.31005)].
