Abstract
A theorem of JL Walsh 1929 says that if E is a compact subset of Rn with connected complement and if u is harmonic on a neighbourhood of E then u can be uniformly approximated on E by functions harmonic on the whole of Rn In Part I of this article we survey some generalizations of Walsh’s theorem from the period 1980–94 In Part II we discuss applications of Walsh’s theorem and its generalizations to four diverse topics universal harmonic functions the Radon transform the maximum principle and the Dirichlet problem
