Abstract
The primary goal of this work is to extend the notions of potential theory to compact sets. There are several equivalent ways to define continuous harmonic functions H(K) on a compact set K in [the set of real numbers]n. One may let H(K) be the uniform closure of all functions in C(K) which are restrictions of harmonic functions on a neighborhood of K, or take H(K) as the subspace of C(K) consisting of functions which are finely harmonic on the fine interior of K. In [9] it was shown that these definitions are equivalent.
