Analytic function
In mathematics, an analytic function is a function that is locally given by a convergent power series.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Analytic function
Convolution
In mathematics (in particular, functional analysis), convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions (f and g) that produces a third function (f*g).
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Convolution
Distribution (mathematics)
Distributions, also known as Schwartz distributions or generalized functions, are objects that generalize the classical notion of functions in mathematical analysis.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Distribution (mathematics)
Elliptic partial differential equation
Second-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) are classified as either elliptic, hyperbolic, or parabolic. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and elliptic partial differential equation are partial differential equations.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Elliptic partial differential equation
Harmonic function
In mathematics, mathematical physics and the theory of stochastic processes, a harmonic function is a twice continuously differentiable function f\colon U \to \mathbb R, where is an open subset of that satisfies Laplace's equation, that is, \frac + \frac + \cdots + \frac. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and harmonic function are harmonic functions.

Hermann Weyl
Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl, (9 November 1885 – 8 December 1955) was a German mathematician, theoretical physicist, logician and philosopher.

Hypoelliptic operator
In the theory of partial differential equations, a partial differential operator P defined on an open subset is called hypoelliptic if for every distribution u defined on an open subset V \subset U such that Pu is C^\infty (smooth), u must also be C^\infty. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and hypoelliptic operator are partial differential equations.

Laplace operator
In mathematics, the Laplace operator or Laplacian is a differential operator given by the divergence of the gradient of a scalar function on Euclidean space. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Laplace operator are harmonic functions.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Laplace operator
Laplace's equation
In mathematics and physics, Laplace's equation is a second-order partial differential equation named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, who first studied its properties. Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Laplace's equation are harmonic functions.

Lars Gårding
Lars Gårding (7 March 1919 – 7 July 2014) was a Swedish mathematician. He made notable contributions to the study of partial differential equations and partial differential operators. He was a professor of mathematics at Lund University in Sweden 1952–1984. Together with Marcel Riesz, he was a thesis advisor for Lars Hörmander.

Lars Hörmander
Lars Valter Hörmander (24 January 1931 – 25 November 2012) was a Swedish mathematician who has been called "the foremost contributor to the modern theory of linear partial differential equations".

Locally integrable function
In mathematics, a locally integrable function (sometimes also called locally summable function) is a function which is integrable (so its integral is finite) on every compact subset of its domain of definition.

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes abstract objects, methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Mathematics
Mollifier
In mathematics, mollifiers (also known as approximations to the identity) are particular smooth functions, used for example in distribution theory to create sequences of smooth functions approximating nonsmooth (generalized) functions, via convolution.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Mollifier
Null set
In mathematical analysis, a null set is a Lebesgue measurable set of real numbers that has measure zero.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Null set
Open set
In mathematics, an open set is a generalization of an open interval in the real line.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Open set
Smoothness
In mathematical analysis, the smoothness of a function is a property measured by the number, called differentiability class, of continuous derivatives it has over its domain.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Smoothness
Spaces of test functions and distributions
In mathematical analysis, the spaces of test functions and distributions are topological vector spaces (TVSs) that are used in the definition and application of distributions.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Spaces of test functions and distributions
Support (mathematics)
In mathematics, the support of a real-valued function f is the subset of the function domain containing the elements which are not mapped to zero.
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Support (mathematics)
Wave equation
The wave equation is a second-order linear partial differential equation for the description of waves or standing wave fields such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves and seismic waves) or electromagnetic waves (including light waves).
See Weyl's lemma (Laplace equation) and Wave equation
Weak solution
In mathematics, a weak solution (also called a generalized solution) to an ordinary or partial differential equation is a function for which the derivatives may not all exist but which is nonetheless deemed to satisfy the equation in some precisely defined sense.
