Abstract:
We show that if a set  is dispersely decomposed into subsets, then the capacity of  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  . These properties hold for classical capacities,  -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.
