Abstract:
We show that if a set $E$ is dispersely decomposed into subsets, then the capacity of $E$ is comparable to the summation of the capacities of the subsets. From this fact it is derived that the Lebesgue measure of a certain expanded set is estimated by the capacity of $E$. These properties hold for classical capacities, $L^{p}$-capacities and energy capacities of general kernels. The estimation is applied to the boundary behavior of harmonic functions. We introduce a boundary thin set and show a fine limit type boundary behavior of harmonic functions. We show that a thin set does not meet essentially Nagel-Stein and Nagel-Rudin-Shapiro type approaching regions at almost all bounary points.References
