Fine singularity analysis of solutions to the Laplace equation: Berg’s effect. (English) Zbl 1344.35012

In the paper Berg’s effect is studied on special domains. This effect is understood as a monotonicity of a harmonic function (with respect to the distance from the center of a flat part of the boundary) restricted to the boundary. The harmonic function must satisfy piecewise constant Neumann boundary conditions. The authors show that Berg’s effect is a rare and fragile phenomenon.
