Abstract:

In this paper, a general Fatou theorem is obtained for functions which are integrals of kernels against measures on${{\mathbf {R}}^n}$. These include solutions of Laplace’s equation on an upper half-space, parabolic equations on an infinite slab and the heat equation on a right half-space. Lebesgue almost everywhere boundary limits are obtained within regions which contain sequences approaching the boundary with any prescribed degree of tangency.
