In mathematics, a function is weakly harmonic in a domain D if

for all with compact support in D and continuous second derivatives, where Δ is the Laplacian. Surprisingly, this definition is equivalent to the seemingly stronger definition. That is, is weakly harmonic if and only if it is a harmonic function.
