description

Relatively little is known about boundary behavior of solutions of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations as compared to that of harmonic functions. In this paper two results, which in the harmonic case are due to N. Wiener, are generalized to a nonlinear situation. Suppose that G is a bounded domain in R n. We consider functions u: G--~R which are free extremals of the variational integral
