POTENTIAL THEORY, THE DIRICHLET PROBLEM, AND THE
OTHER PROBLEM
The following table of contents, as well as the above title, changes
weekly. The book should be completed by the end of 1999 and will appear
in pdf format on a CD. Additional chapters will
include Poisson's Equation, Mutual Energy, Dirichlet Forms, Harmonic
Spaces, and Diffusion Processes.
