These results give bilateral bounds for the harmonic measure associated with the Schr\\\"{o}dinger operator $-\\triangle - \\omega $ on $\\Omega$, and in the case $f=1$, a criterion for the existence of the gauge function. Applications to elliptic equations of Riccati type with quadratic growth in the gradient are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-08T21:25:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R11", "31B35", "35J10" ], "keywords": [ "harmonic measure", "positive solution", "uniform domain", "schrödinger operators", "locally finite borel measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
