The mean value property for the coordinate Laplacian on Vec d #
Mathlib proves the mean value property for harmonic functions only in the
complex plane (Analysis/Complex/Harmonic/MeanValue, through
circleAverage); it has no sphereAverage at all, and its harmonic layer is
stated for InnerProductSpace R E, which the sup-normed carrier Vec d does not
satisfy. CoarseGraining has no mean value property either. This module
supplies one natively for CoarseGraining's coordinate Laplacian on Vec d, in
the kernel form that avoids surface measure entirely.
The argument is the classical one, run through the Green pairing of
HarmonicGreen rather than through the divergence theorem:
- Zero moment kills the pairing. If a continuous radial density
kis supported in an annulus[a, b]with0 < a < band its radial momentint_0^b s^(d-1) k s dsvanishes, thenHarmonicSphereBumpproduces a compactly supportedC^2functionpsiwithDelta psi = k(|· - z|), and Green's second identity givesint u (x) k (|x - z|) dx = 0for everyuthat isC^2and harmonic on the closed ball of radiusb. Takingu = 1-- itself harmonic -- gives the same statement for the mass of the density. - Kernel independence. Applying step 1 to the combination
M_2 k_1 - M_1 k_2of two densities with momentsM_1, M_2shows thatM_2 * int u k_1 = M_1 * int u k_2, and likewise for the masses. Hence the normalized pairingint u k / int kdoes not depend on the density. - Concentration. For a nonnegative density supported in the ball of radius
delta, the normalized pairing differs fromu zby at most the oscillation ofuon that ball. Shrinkingdeltaand using continuity ofupins the common value of step 2 tou z.
No surface measure, no coarea formula and no polar decomposition are used: the
whole argument stays inside the Green pairing. The explicit density
annulusBump a b t = max 0 ((t - a) * (b - t)) makes the final statement
unconditional.

Equations
Instances For
Kernel independence. For a function harmonic on the closed ball of radius
b, the pairing against a radial density is proportional to the density's radial
moment, with a proportionality factor that does not depend on the density.
Concentration. A nonnegative radial density supported in the ball of radius
b reproduces the value at the centre up to the oscillation of u on that ball.
The mean value property, in kernel form. If u is C^2 with vanishing
coordinate Laplacian on the closed Euclidean ball of radius b about z, then
its pairing against any nonnegative continuous radial density supported in the
annulus [a, b] of positive radial moment is u z times the mass of the
density.
