modern techniques and distributional theory Using Greenrsquosfunction one can obtain a general representation solutionfor Poissonrsquos equation

General representation solution depends on the domainΩ and nature of the functions f and g For Lebesgue in-tegration it is required that the conditions g isin C(zΩ) andf isin C(Ω) get a unique analytical solutionu isin C2(Ω)capC(Ω) for (1) where Ω needs to be open andbounded in Rn ([5] pg 28) In classical solution it is worthto use HenstockndashKurzweil integral (HK-integral) instead ofthe Lebesgue integral

HK-integral is more advanced and it includes theLebesgue and Riemann integral ampis integral was first in-troduced by Henstock and Kurzweil in 1957 It has manyadvantages such as convergence theorems integration onunbounded intervalsfunctions Fubinirsquos theorem andfundamental theorem of calculus with full generality fordetails see [6ndash9] If HK is the space of HK-integrablefunctions then it has proper inclusion L1 ⊊ HK For anexample a highly oscillating function f(x) (1x)

sin(1x3) is neither Lebesgue nor Riemann integrable But f

is HK-integrable ampere are only few articles which use HK-integration to find analytical solution for Dirichlet problem[10 11] Talvila uses HK-integration to find solution forDirichlet problem in the upper half plane see example in[10] Also the same author obtains useful results of Poissonkernel in the unit disk via HK-integral with application intoDirichlet problem [11] However both articles [10 11] proveits results in R2 and do not extend into R3 It is an obviousfact that properties of HK-integration are not easily ex-tended for higher dimension Even the HK-integration issuperior to Lebesgue integration there are a few drawbacksMost significantly there is no known natural topology forHK so that it is not a Banach spaceamperefore there are notmuch functional analysis tools to work with the problemHowever there is a natural seminorm on HK defined byAlexiewicz [12]

Looking at an alternative we moved into distributiontheory specially the space of integrable distribution AC

which is isomorphic to completion of the spaceHK whichis presented in Section 2 It seems the concept of integrabledistribution is first introduced by Mikusinski and Ostas-zewski [13] and further developed by several authors[14 15] In recent years integrable distributional solution fordifferential equations has been used by many authors[16ndash19] We define derivative (in distributional sense) ofAC

and the integral on it In Section 3 the space of Har-dyndashKrause variation functions is identified as a multiplier forHK Here it uses HenstockndashStieltjes integral and integra-tion by parts defined on AC In [15] example 144 Talviladiscussed the Dirichlet boundary condition of Laplaceequation in the half space ampere it uses Poisson Kernel andproof of integrable distributional solution for the Laplace

equation is not givenWe extend the proof of this problem inSection 4 and obtain integrable distributional solution for (1)when f 0

2 Integrable Distributions

Distribution theory was frequently used with the advent ofLaurent Schwartz [20] in 1950 Distributions or generalizedfunctions are an important functional analysis tool inmodern analysis especially in the field of PDErsquos Whenfunctions are nonsmooth then distribution theory allows toperform operations translation differentiation convolutionetc Here we use integrable distributions which are a specialclass of distributions that will be important for applicationsof distribution theory to partial differential equations fordetails see [13 14 21] ampere are several articles on solvingordinary and partial differential equations using integrabledistributions [16 17 19] Integrable distribution has used tofind a distributional solution for Poissonrsquos equation withDirichlet boundary condition for the upper half plane ampisarticle extends the distributional solution for Poissonrsquosequation for the 3-dimensional upper half space

Theorem 1 Any given f isin AC(R2) has a unique primitive

where it uses HK-integral and here onward the same unlessotherwise stated Since the linearity of derivatives AC(R

forms a vector space with usual operations of functionals Toget Banach space structure of AC(R

the suitable norm Using the unique primitive off isin AC(R

Note that the space HK with the Alexiewicz norm is anormed space but not a Banach space [12 22] Absence ofBanach space structure ofHK is main disadvantage on it Itis one of the reasons to move into AC(R

Theorem 2 AC(R2) is a Banach space with the Alexiewicz

amperefore AC(R2) is a normed space To show com-

pleteness let any fn1113864 1113865subeAC(R2) be Cauchy sequence in middot

ampen Fn1113864 1113865subeBC(R2) is a Cauchy sequence in middotinfin because

fn minus fm Fn minus Fminfin ButBC(R2) is a Banach space so

that there exists a F isinBC(R2) and Fn⟶ F in middotinfin Let

f z12F ampen f isin AC(R2) and fn minus f Fn minus

Finfin⟶ 0 ampis shows fn⟶ f isin AC(R2) in middot and

hence the lemma

Alexiewicz norm dose not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because the norm does not satisfy the parallelogram

law ampereforeAC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space AC(R2) with middot is isomorphic to

BC(R2) with middotinfin ampe mapping f⟶ F gives a linear

isomorphism between the spaces Uniqueness of primitivegives the mapping is injective and by the definition it issurjective mapping Furthermore the mapping preserves normsince f Finfin ampus the space AC(R

2) is identified with

the space of continuous functions vanish at infinity

Proposition 1 (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically isomorphic to

(BC(R2) middotinfin)

Next we define the integral of an integrable distributionas it uses the primitive F isinBC(R

2) of f isin AC(R

Definition 2 (see [15] Definition 43) Let f isin AC(R2) with

the primitive F isinBC(R2) We define integral of f on I

3 Multiplier for Integrable Distributions

We will turn now to our discussion on multipliers forAC(R

2) A multiplier for a class of functionsF is a function

g such that fg isinF for each f isin F For an example inLebesgue integral g isin Linfin(Rn) if and only if fg isin L1(Rn)

for each f isin L1(Rn) ie the space Linfin(Rn) is multipliers forL1(Rn) For HK-integral in one-dimensional case 2 space ofbounded variation functions BV is multipliers for HK

[9] (ampeorem 615) In multidimension case there is nounique way to extend the notion of variation to functionAdams and Clarkson [23] give six such extensions butmostly recognized by Vitali variation and HardyndashKrausevariation To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

5 Discussion

In this work integrable distributional solution is obtainedfor Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary conditionin the upper half space Boundary conditions are taken in theAlexiewicz norm Lebesgue integral uses for the classicalsolution to Poisson equation Because of the proper inclu-sion L1 ⊊ HR we may use HK-integral to solve Poissonequation However there are some limitations due to the

absence of any natural topology ampat is HK is not aBanach space nevertheless there is a natural seminormcalled Alexiewicz ampis is one of the main reasons to moveinto the space of integrable distribution AC(R

2) which

contains HK and leads to a Banach space with Alexiewicznorm

Integrable distribution is defined as derivative (distri-butional sense) of function in BC(R

2) In this definition

any f isin AC(R2) identifies with the unique primitive

F isinBC(R2) ampis unique primitive allows to define a

Alexiewicz norm middot on AC(R2) and leads to a Banach

space Alexiewicz norm does not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because it does not satisfy the parallelogram law

amperefore AC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically iso-

morphic to the space (BC(R2) middotinfin) Integral on AC(R

2)

is uniquely defined by uniqueness of the primitive AC(R2)

is the completion of L1(R2) (or HK(R2)) with respect tothe corresponding Alexiewicz norm

In one-dimensional HK-integral space of boundedvariation functions BV is multipliers for HK In mul-tidimension case there are several extensions to variation offunction To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

2) we begin with HardyndashKrause

variation ampe space of HardyndashKrause bounded variationfunctions BVHK(R

2) as a multiplier for AC(R

2) ampis

2) is used to define con-

volution and obtain convergence theorem on AC(R2)

form It would help keep an analytical outlook in the so-lution which would be better than solving the partial dif-ferential equation by numerical methods such as finitedifference methods and finite element methods

ampere is potential to find integrable distributional so-lution for Poisson equation in other boundary conditionsNeumann and Robin But it needs to develop suitableconvergence theorems on AC and its multipliers BVHKAlso it is possible to consider Poisson equation in unit ballwith the relevant Poisson kernel Talvila in [15] gives someconstruction to develop integrable distribution on Rn in-tegration by parts and mean value theorem and definesAC(R

modern techniques and distributional theory Using Greenrsquosfunction one can obtain a general representation solutionfor Poissonrsquos equation

General representation solution depends on the domainΩ and nature of the functions f and g For Lebesgue in-tegration it is required that the conditions g isin C(zΩ) andf isin C(Ω) get a unique analytical solutionu isin C2(Ω)capC(Ω) for (1) where Ω needs to be open andbounded in Rn ([5] pg 28) In classical solution it is worthto use HenstockndashKurzweil integral (HK-integral) instead ofthe Lebesgue integral

HK-integral is more advanced and it includes theLebesgue and Riemann integral ampis integral was first in-troduced by Henstock and Kurzweil in 1957 It has manyadvantages such as convergence theorems integration onunbounded intervalsfunctions Fubinirsquos theorem andfundamental theorem of calculus with full generality fordetails see [6ndash9] If HK is the space of HK-integrablefunctions then it has proper inclusion L1 ⊊ HK For anexample a highly oscillating function f(x) (1x)

sin(1x3) is neither Lebesgue nor Riemann integrable But f

is HK-integrable ampere are only few articles which use HK-integration to find analytical solution for Dirichlet problem[10 11] Talvila uses HK-integration to find solution forDirichlet problem in the upper half plane see example in[10] Also the same author obtains useful results of Poissonkernel in the unit disk via HK-integral with application intoDirichlet problem [11] However both articles [10 11] proveits results in R2 and do not extend into R3 It is an obviousfact that properties of HK-integration are not easily ex-tended for higher dimension Even the HK-integration issuperior to Lebesgue integration there are a few drawbacksMost significantly there is no known natural topology forHK so that it is not a Banach spaceamperefore there are notmuch functional analysis tools to work with the problemHowever there is a natural seminorm on HK defined byAlexiewicz [12]

Looking at an alternative we moved into distributiontheory specially the space of integrable distribution AC

which is isomorphic to completion of the spaceHK whichis presented in Section 2 It seems the concept of integrabledistribution is first introduced by Mikusinski and Ostas-zewski [13] and further developed by several authors[14 15] In recent years integrable distributional solution fordifferential equations has been used by many authors[16ndash19] We define derivative (in distributional sense) ofAC

and the integral on it In Section 3 the space of Har-dyndashKrause variation functions is identified as a multiplier forHK Here it uses HenstockndashStieltjes integral and integra-tion by parts defined on AC In [15] example 144 Talviladiscussed the Dirichlet boundary condition of Laplaceequation in the half space ampere it uses Poisson Kernel andproof of integrable distributional solution for the Laplace

equation is not givenWe extend the proof of this problem inSection 4 and obtain integrable distributional solution for (1)when f 0

3 Multiplier for Integrable Distributions

We will turn now to our discussion on multipliers forAC(R

2) A multiplier for a class of functionsF is a function

g such that fg isinF for each f isin F For an example inLebesgue integral g isin Linfin(Rn) if and only if fg isin L1(Rn)

for each f isin L1(Rn) ie the space Linfin(Rn) is multipliers forL1(Rn) For HK-integral in one-dimensional case 2 space ofbounded variation functions BV is multipliers for HK

[9] (ampeorem 615) In multidimension case there is nounique way to extend the notion of variation to functionAdams and Clarkson [23] give six such extensions butmostly recognized by Vitali variation and HardyndashKrausevariation To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

(i) V12φ is finite

(ii) ampe function x⟼φ(x y0) is bounded variation onR for some y0 isin R

5 Discussion

In this work integrable distributional solution is obtainedfor Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary conditionin the upper half space Boundary conditions are taken in theAlexiewicz norm Lebesgue integral uses for the classicalsolution to Poisson equation Because of the proper inclu-sion L1 ⊊ HR we may use HK-integral to solve Poissonequation However there are some limitations due to the

absence of any natural topology ampat is HK is not aBanach space nevertheless there is a natural seminormcalled Alexiewicz ampis is one of the main reasons to moveinto the space of integrable distribution AC(R

2) which

contains HK and leads to a Banach space with Alexiewicznorm

Integrable distribution is defined as derivative (distri-butional sense) of function in BC(R

2) In this definition

any f isin AC(R2) identifies with the unique primitive

F isinBC(R2) ampis unique primitive allows to define a

Alexiewicz norm middot on AC(R2) and leads to a Banach

space Alexiewicz norm does not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because it does not satisfy the parallelogram law

amperefore AC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically iso-

morphic to the space (BC(R2) middotinfin) Integral on AC(R

2)

is uniquely defined by uniqueness of the primitive AC(R2)

is the completion of L1(R2) (or HK(R2)) with respect tothe corresponding Alexiewicz norm

In one-dimensional HK-integral space of boundedvariation functions BV is multipliers for HK In mul-tidimension case there are several extensions to variation offunction To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

2) we begin with HardyndashKrause

variation ampe space of HardyndashKrause bounded variationfunctions BVHK(R

form It would help keep an analytical outlook in the so-lution which would be better than solving the partial dif-ferential equation by numerical methods such as finitedifference methods and finite element methods

ampere is potential to find integrable distributional so-lution for Poisson equation in other boundary conditionsNeumann and Robin But it needs to develop suitableconvergence theorems on AC and its multipliers BVHKAlso it is possible to consider Poisson equation in unit ballwith the relevant Poisson kernel Talvila in [15] gives someconstruction to develop integrable distribution on Rn in-tegration by parts and mean value theorem and definesAC(R

integrable distributional solution is possible to obtain forPoisson equation with Dirichlet boundary condition in Rn

integrable distribution as the derivative of function inBC(R

Definition 1 Let f isin Dprime(R2) be distribution ampe space ofintegrable distributions is defined and denoted by

AC R2

Here f z12F be the sense of distributional derivativeie langf ϕrang langz12F ϕrang langF z12ϕrang for ϕ isin D(R2) ampefunction F is called as a primitive of f Generally primitiveis not unique and differed by a constant However with ourchoice F(minus infin y) F(x minus infin) 0 primitive is unique forany given f isin Dprime(R2)

Theorem 1 Any given f isin AC(R2) has a unique primitive

in BC(R2)

Proof Let F1 and F2 are primitives of f isin AC(R2) ampen

f z12F1 z12F2 so that z12(F1 minus F2) 0 ampis impliesF1 minus F2 X(x) + Y(y) for some X Y isin C(R

where it uses HK-integral and here onward the same unlessotherwise stated Since the linearity of derivatives AC(R

2)

forms a vector space with usual operations of functionals Toget Banach space structure of AC(R

2) it requires to define

the suitable norm Using the unique primitive off isin AC(R

2) we define the Alexiewicz norm as

Note that the space HK with the Alexiewicz norm is anormed space but not a Banach space [12 22] Absence ofBanach space structure ofHK is main disadvantage on it Itis one of the reasons to move into AC(R

2)

Theorem 2 AC(R2) is a Banach space with the Alexiewicz

norm middot

Proof First prove middot is a norm

(i) If f equiv 0 then clearly f 0 If f 0 and thenFinfin 0 ampis implies F equiv 0 and hencef z12F equiv 0

amperefore AC(R2) is a normed space To show com-

pleteness let any fn1113864 1113865subeAC(R2) be Cauchy sequence in middot

ampen Fn1113864 1113865subeBC(R2) is a Cauchy sequence in middotinfin because

fn minus fm Fn minus Fminfin ButBC(R2) is a Banach space so

that there exists a F isinBC(R2) and Fn⟶ F in middotinfin Let

f z12F ampen f isin AC(R2) and fn minus f Fn minus

Finfin⟶ 0 ampis shows fn⟶ f isin AC(R2) in middot and

hence the lemma

Alexiewicz norm dose not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because the norm does not satisfy the parallelogram

law ampereforeAC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space AC(R2) with middot is isomorphic to

BC(R2) with middotinfin ampe mapping f⟶ F gives a linear

isomorphism between the spaces Uniqueness of primitivegives the mapping is injective and by the definition it issurjective mapping Furthermore the mapping preserves normsince f Finfin ampus the space AC(R

2) is identified with

the space of continuous functions vanish at infinity

Proposition 1 (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically isomorphic to

(BC(R2) middotinfin)

Next we define the integral of an integrable distributionas it uses the primitive F isinBC(R

2) of f isin AC(R

2)

Definition 2 (see [15] Definition 43) Let f isin AC(R2) with

the primitive F isinBC(R2) We define integral of f on I

ampis integral is uniquely defined by uniqueness of theprimitive ampeorem 1 Also it is very general and includesthe Riemann integral Lebesgue integral and HK-integralNorm preservation of Proposition 1 gives that the corre-sponding integral values agree on each integral as presentedin ampeorem 3

2)

(ii) From (i) L1(R2) sub AC(R2) Let any f isin AC(R

2)

ampen it needs to show f isin L1(R2) We prove this byshowing f is a limit point of L1(R2) Sincef isin AC(R

2) there is F isinBC(R

2) Now choose a

sequence Fn1113864 1113865 sub C2(R2) so that Fn minus Finfin⟶ 0

Since Fn converges to F uniformly andF(minus infin y) F(x minus infin) 0 we can assume thatFn(minus infin y) Fn(x minus infin) 0 for each n Now takefn zFn in the distributional sense ampenfn zFn isin C(R2) sub L1(R2) Moreover fn minus f

Fn minus Finfin⟶ 0 Hence f is a limit point ofL1(R2)

(iii) Any Lebesgue integrable function is HK-integrablewith the same value ampus the result

Note that if f isin L1(R2) then its Alexiewicz norm and L1

norm are not equivalent for an example see [15] (pg 9) ampenorms are equivalent if fge 0 for almost everywhere Fromthe definition of integral of f isin AC(R

2) and its unique

primitive we obtain following fundamental theorem ofcalculus

3 Multiplier for Integrable Distributions

We will turn now to our discussion on multipliers forAC(R

2) A multiplier for a class of functionsF is a function

g such that fg isinF for each f isin F For an example inLebesgue integral g isin Linfin(Rn) if and only if fg isin L1(Rn)

for each f isin L1(Rn) ie the space Linfin(Rn) is multipliers forL1(Rn) For HK-integral in one-dimensional case 2 space ofbounded variation functions BV is multipliers for HK

[9] (ampeorem 615) In multidimension case there is nounique way to extend the notion of variation to functionAdams and Clarkson [23] give six such extensions butmostly recognized by Vitali variation and HardyndashKrausevariation To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

2) we begin with HardyndashKrause

variationTwo intervals in R

Vitali) is given by

where the supremum is taken over all divisions D of R2 andinterval Ii [ai bi] times [ci di] isin D

Definition 3 (HardyndashKrause bounded variation) A functionφ R

2⟶ R is said to be HardyndashKrause bounded variationif the following conditions are satisfied

(i) V12φ is finite

(ii) ampe function x⟼φ(x y0) is bounded variation onR for some y0 isin R

(iii) ampe function y⟼φ(x0 y) is bounded variationon R for some x0 isin R

5 Discussion

In this work integrable distributional solution is obtainedfor Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary conditionin the upper half space Boundary conditions are taken in theAlexiewicz norm Lebesgue integral uses for the classicalsolution to Poisson equation Because of the proper inclu-sion L1 ⊊ HR we may use HK-integral to solve Poissonequation However there are some limitations due to the

absence of any natural topology ampat is HK is not aBanach space nevertheless there is a natural seminormcalled Alexiewicz ampis is one of the main reasons to moveinto the space of integrable distribution AC(R

2) which

contains HK and leads to a Banach space with Alexiewicznorm

Integrable distribution is defined as derivative (distri-butional sense) of function in BC(R

2) In this definition

any f isin AC(R2) identifies with the unique primitive

F isinBC(R2) ampis unique primitive allows to define a

Alexiewicz norm middot on AC(R2) and leads to a Banach

space Alexiewicz norm does not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because it does not satisfy the parallelogram law

amperefore AC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically iso-

morphic to the space (BC(R2) middotinfin) Integral on AC(R

2)

is uniquely defined by uniqueness of the primitive AC(R2)

is the completion of L1(R2) (or HK(R2)) with respect tothe corresponding Alexiewicz norm

In one-dimensional HK-integral space of boundedvariation functions BV is multipliers for HK In mul-tidimension case there are several extensions to variation offunction To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

2) we begin with HardyndashKrause

variation ampe space of HardyndashKrause bounded variationfunctions BVHK(R

2) as a multiplier for AC(R

2) ampis

multiplier is important to define convolution and obtainconvergence theorem BVHK(R

2) is used to define con-

volution and obtain convergence theorem on AC(R2)

ampere are several convergence theorems in AC such asstrong convergence in AC weakstrong convergence inBV and weakstrong convergence in D Convergencetheorem on AC(R

2) and dominated convergence theorem

in HK(R2) are used to obtain integrable distributionalsolution Finding of this article gives solution for Poissonequation for broader initial condition in the upper halfspace Dirichlet problem in R3 is considered and the so-lution has obtained by HK-integration where it is notpossible from Lebesgue integral Because of functionrsquoscomplexity it may not be able to have solution in explicit

form It would help keep an analytical outlook in the so-lution which would be better than solving the partial dif-ferential equation by numerical methods such as finitedifference methods and finite element methods

ampere is potential to find integrable distributional so-lution for Poisson equation in other boundary conditionsNeumann and Robin But it needs to develop suitableconvergence theorems on AC and its multipliers BVHKAlso it is possible to consider Poisson equation in unit ballwith the relevant Poisson kernel Talvila in [15] gives someconstruction to develop integrable distribution on Rn in-tegration by parts and mean value theorem and definesAC(R

integrable distributional solution is possible to obtain forPoisson equation with Dirichlet boundary condition in Rn

3 Multiplier for Integrable Distributions

We will turn now to our discussion on multipliers forAC(R

2) A multiplier for a class of functionsF is a function

g such that fg isinF for each f isin F For an example inLebesgue integral g isin Linfin(Rn) if and only if fg isin L1(Rn)

for each f isin L1(Rn) ie the space Linfin(Rn) is multipliers forL1(Rn) For HK-integral in one-dimensional case 2 space ofbounded variation functions BV is multipliers for HK

5 Discussion

In this work integrable distributional solution is obtainedfor Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary conditionin the upper half space Boundary conditions are taken in theAlexiewicz norm Lebesgue integral uses for the classicalsolution to Poisson equation Because of the proper inclu-sion L1 ⊊ HR we may use HK-integral to solve Poissonequation However there are some limitations due to the

absence of any natural topology ampat is HK is not aBanach space nevertheless there is a natural seminormcalled Alexiewicz ampis is one of the main reasons to moveinto the space of integrable distribution AC(R

2) which

contains HK and leads to a Banach space with Alexiewicznorm

Integrable distribution is defined as derivative (distri-butional sense) of function in BC(R

2) In this definition

any f isin AC(R2) identifies with the unique primitive

F isinBC(R2) ampis unique primitive allows to define a

Alexiewicz norm middot on AC(R2) and leads to a Banach

space Alexiewicz norm does not induce an inner product inAC(R

2) because it does not satisfy the parallelogram law

amperefore AC(R2) is not a Hilbert space under the norm

middot However the space (AC(R2) middot) is isometrically iso-

morphic to the space (BC(R2) middotinfin) Integral on AC(R

2)

is uniquely defined by uniqueness of the primitive AC(R2)

is the completion of L1(R2) (or HK(R2)) with respect tothe corresponding Alexiewicz norm

In one-dimensional HK-integral space of boundedvariation functions BV is multipliers for HK In mul-tidimension case there are several extensions to variation offunction To establish integration by parts formula andmultipliers for AC(R

2) we begin with HardyndashKrause

variation ampe space of HardyndashKrause bounded variationfunctions BVHK(R

2) as a multiplier for AC(R

2) ampis

multiplier is important to define convolution and obtainconvergence theorem BVHK(R

2) is used to define con-

volution and obtain convergence theorem on AC(R2)

ampere are several convergence theorems in AC such asstrong convergence in AC weakstrong convergence inBV and weakstrong convergence in D Convergencetheorem on AC(R

2) and dominated convergence theorem

in HK(R2) are used to obtain integrable distributionalsolution Finding of this article gives solution for Poissonequation for broader initial condition in the upper halfspace Dirichlet problem in R3 is considered and the so-lution has obtained by HK-integration where it is notpossible from Lebesgue integral Because of functionrsquoscomplexity it may not be able to have solution in explicit

form It would help keep an analytical outlook in the so-lution which would be better than solving the partial dif-ferential equation by numerical methods such as finitedifference methods and finite element methods

ampere is potential to find integrable distributional so-lution for Poisson equation in other boundary conditionsNeumann and Robin But it needs to develop suitableconvergence theorems on AC and its multipliers BVHKAlso it is possible to consider Poisson equation in unit ballwith the relevant Poisson kernel Talvila in [15] gives someconstruction to develop integrable distribution on Rn in-tegration by parts and mean value theorem and definesAC(R

n) and BC(R

n) for multidimensional case Hence

integrable distributional solution is possible to obtain forPoisson equation with Dirichlet boundary condition in Rn

2) is a multiplier for

HK(R2) However the solution does not exist with theLebesgue integral For contraposition suppose thatKg isin L1(R2) ampen it follows from Fubinirsquos theorem [9](ampeorem 255) that the function
