Abstract: Let $ D$ be a bounded domain in $ \mathbb {R}^{n}$, $ n\ge 2$, and let $ x_{0}\in D$. We consider positive functions $w$ on D$ such that $h( x_{0}) = (\int _{D}w dx)^{-1} \int _{D} h w dx$ for all bounded harmonic functions $h$ on $ D$. We determine Lipschitz domains $ D$ having such $w$ with $\inf _{D} w>0$.
