Random walks, Markov chains and electric networks function an advent to the learn of real-valued features on finite or endless graphs, with acceptable interpretations utilizing chance thought and current-voltage legislation. The relation among this sort of functionality conception and the (Newton) capability concept at the Euclidean areas is well-established. The latter thought has been variously generalized, one instance being the axiomatic capability thought on in the community compact areas constructed through Brelot, with later ramifications from Bauer, Constantinescu and Cornea. A community is a graph with edge-weights that needn't be symmetric. This publication offers an self reliant idea of harmonic features and potentials outlined on a finite or countless community, at the traces of axiomatic strength thought. Random walks and electric networks are vital assets for the development of the theory.

This function u has the following properties: Δu(x) = 0 if x ∈ F ∂u and ∂n − (s) = f (s) if s ∈ ∂F . 3 Dirichlet Semi-Norm In this section, X is assumed to be a finite network with symmetric conductance. An interesting alternative method to carry out the potential-theoretic study of functions on a network with symmetric conductance is to consider this set of functions as an inner-product space and obtain the basic Dirichlet solution as a projection. Then, we can prove other results as consequences of the existence of solutions to appropriate Dirichlet problems.
3. (Dirichlet Principle) Let E be a connected set and F ⊂ E . Let f be a function defined on E \ F. Let Γ be the family of functions g on E such that g = f on E \ F. Then, there exists a function h in Γ such that for any g ∈ Γ, h E ≤ g E and h E = g E if and only if h ≡ g. This function h is uniquely determined and Δh = 0 at every vertex of F. Proof. 8), such that h = f on E \ F and Δh(x) = 0 if x ∈ F. Then, we prove as above, by using the Green’s formula, that if g ∈ Γ, then (g −h)⊥h. Hence, writing g = (g −h)+h, we conclude g ∼ E ≥ h∼ E which implies that g E ≥ h E .
13. (q-Balayage) Let F be a proper subset of X and let u be a realvalued function on Xsuch that Δq u ≤ 0 at every vertex in X\F. Then, there exists a unique function v on X such that v ≤ u on X, v = u on F, and Δq v = 0 at every vertex in X\F. Proof. 6, there exists a unique function ϕ on X such that Δq ϕ = Δq u = −(−Δq )u at every vertex in X\F, ϕ = 0 on F and ϕ ≥ 0 on X\F. Consequently, ϕ ≥ 0 on X. Then, v = u − ϕ on X has the stated properties. 4. 1. The above q-balayaged function v can be described as the solution to an appropriate Dirichlet problem: Let E = X\F.
