Removed redundancy in definition - x is already the centre of the ball, so we must use another letter for points in the ball. Here I have put in y. |

be an [[semi-continuity|upper semi-continuous function]]. Then, <math>\varphi </math> is called ''subharmonic'' if for any [[closed ball]] <math>\overline{B(x,r)}</math> of center <math>x</math> and radius <math>r</math> contained in <math>G</math> and every [[real number|real]]-valued [[continuous function]] <math>h</math> on <math>\overline{B(x,r)}</math> that is [[harmonic function|harmonic]] in <math>B(x,r)</math> and satisfies <math>\varphi(
Note that by the above, the function which is identically −∞ is subharmonic, but some authors exclude this function by definition.
