Integral representations of a class of harmonic functions in the half space

In this article, motivated by the classic Hadamard factorization theorem about an entire function of finite order in the complex plane, we firstly prove that a harmonic function whose positive part satisfies some growth conditions, can be represented by its integral on the boundary of the half space. By using Nevanlinna's representation of harmonic functions and the modified Poisson kernel of the half space, we further prove a representation formula through integration against a certain measure on the boundary hyperplane for harmonic functions not necessarily continuous on the boundary hyperplane whose positive parts satisfy weaker growing conditions than the first question. The result is further generalized by involving a parameter m dealing with the singularity at the infinity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
