In mathematics, especially potential theory, harmonic measure is a concept related to the theory of harmonic functions that arises from the solution of the classical Dirichlet problem. In probability theory, harmonic measure of a subset of the boundary of a bounded domain in Euclidean space , is the probability that a Brownian motion started inside a domain hits that subset of the boundary. More generally, harmonic measure of an Itō diffusion ''X'' describes the distribution of ''X'' as it hits the boundary of ''D''. In the complex plane, harmonic measure can be used to estimate the modulus of an analytic function inside a domain ''D'' given bounds on the modulus on the boundary of the domain; a special case of this principle is Hadamard's three-circle theorem. On simply connected planar domains, there is a close connection between harmonic measure and the theory of conformal maps. The term ''harmonic measure'' was introduced by Rolf Nevanlinna in 1928 for planar domains,〔R. Nevanlinna (1970), "Analytic Functions", Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, cf. Introduction p. 3〕〔R. Nevanlinna (1934), "Das harmonische Mass von Punktmengen und seine Anwendung in der Funktionentheorie", Comptes rendus du huitème congrès des mathématiciens scandinaves, Stockholm, pp. 116–133.〕 although Nevanlinna notes the idea appeared implicitly in earlier work by Johansson, F. Riesz, M. Riesz, Carleman, Ostrowski and Julia (original order cited). The connection between harmonic measure and Brownian motion was first identified by Kakutani ten years later in 1944. ==Definition== Let ''D'' be a bounded, open domain in ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space R''n'', ''n'' ≥ 2, and let ∂''D'' denote the boundary of ''D''. Any continuous function ''f'' : ∂''D'' → R determines a unique harmonic function ''H''''f'' that solves the Dirichlet problem : If a point ''x'' ∈ ''D'' is fixed, by the Riesz representation theorem and the maximum principle ''H''''f''(''x'') determines a probability measure ''ω''(''x'', ''D'') on ∂''D'' by : The measure ''ω''(''x'', ''D'') is called the harmonic measure (of the domain ''D'' with pole at ''x''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「harmonic measure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
