Wiener's criterion at \(\infty\) for the heat equation (Q955878)

The paper introduces a notion of regularity of the point at infinity for the unbounded open set \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^{N+1}\) concerning the Fourier heat conduction, according as whether the parabolic measure of \(\infty\) is zero. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a unique bounded solution to the parabolic Dirichlet problem in arbitrary unbounded open subset of \(\mathbb R^{N+1}\) is established. The paper addresses the question on whether unique solutions exist if its limit at infinity were not specified and also if no limit at infinity for the boundary datum \(f\) on \(\partial\Omega\) is specified. The paper also discusses the nature of the bounded solutions of the Dirichlet problem.
