A representation of the sharp constant in a pointwise estimate of the gradient of a harmonic function in a multidimensional half-space is obtained under the assumption that function s boundary values belong to L p. This representation is concretized for the cases p 1 and. 1. Introduction. There is a series of sharp estimates for the first derivative of a function f analytic in the upper half-plane C {z C : Iz > } with different characteristics of the real part of f in the majorant part see e.g. [6]). We mention in particular the Lindelöf inequality in the half-plane f z) 1 Iz and two equivalent inequalities f z) πiz {Rfζ) Rfz)} 1.1) ζ C Rfζ) 1.) ζ C and f z) 1 πiz osc C Rf) 1.3) osc C Rf) is the oscillation of Rf on C and z is an arbitrary point in C. Inequalities for analytic functions with certain characteristics of its real part as majorants are called real-part theorems in reference to the first assertion of such a kind the celebrated Hadamard real-part theorem fz) C z 1 z max Rfζ). ζ 1 Mathematics Subject Classification.

2 G. KRESIN AND V. MAZ YA Here z < 1 and f is an analytic function on the closure D of the unit disk D {z : z < 1} vanishing at z. This inequality was first obtained by Hadamard with C 4 in 189 [4]. The following refinement of Hadamard real-part theorem due to Borel [1 ] Carathéodory [8 9] and Lindelöf [1] fz) f) z 1 z R {fζ) f)} 1.4) ζ <1 and corollaries of the last sharp estimate are often called the Borel-Carathéodory inequalities. Sometimes 1.4) is called Hadamard-Borel-Carathéodory inequality see e.g. Burckel [3]). The collection of real-part theorems and related assertions is rather broad. It involves assertions of various form see e.g. [6] and the bibliography collected there). Obviously the inequalities for the first derivative of an analytic function 1.1)- 1.3) can be restated as estimates for the gradient of a harmonic function. For example inequality 1.) can be written in the form uz) πy uζ) 1.5) ζ R u is a harmonic function in the half-plane R {z x y) R : y > }. In the present work we find a representation for the sharp coefficient C p x) in the inequality ux) C p x) u p 1.6) u is harmonic function in the half-space R n { x x x n ) : x R x n > } represented by the Poisson integral with boundary values in L p R ) p is the norm in L p R ) 1 p x R n. It is shown that C p x) C p x 1 n p)/p n and explicit formulas for C p in 1.6) for p 1 are given. Note that a direct consequence of 1.6) is the following sharp limit relation for the gradient of a harmonic function in the n-dimensional domain Ω with smooth boundary: lim x Ox np 1)/p { ux) : u Ω p 1 } C p x O x O x is a point at Ω nearest to x Ω compare with Theorem in [7] a relation of the same nature for the values of solutions to elliptic systems was obtained). In Section we characterize C p in terms of an extremal problem on the unit hemisphere in R n. In Section 3 we reduce this problem to that of finding of the remum of a certain double integral depending on a scalar parameter and show that C 1 n 1) n 1)Γ n/) nn 1) C π n/ n n 1)Γ ) n n π n/ is the area of the unit sphere in R n. In Section 5 we treat the more difficult case of p. We anticipate the proof of the main result by deriving in Section 4 an algebraic inequality to be used for finding

In particular C 4n 1))/ 1 n n/ πn n/ Γ C C 3 3 π. for n 3 and n 4 respectively. As a trivial corollary of the inequality ux) 4n 1))/ 1 n n/ x n which is equivalent to 1.6) with p we find uy) 1.7) y R n ux) n 1))/ 1 n n/ x n osc R n u) 1.8) osc R n u) is the oscillation of u on R n. The sharp inequalities 1.7) and 1.8) are multidimensional generalizations of analogues of the real-part theorems 1.) and 1.3) respectively. The sharp constant in the inequality u Kx x ) uy) x y <1 u is a harmonic function in the three-dimensional unit ball B and x B was found by Khavinson [5] who suggested in a private conversation that the same constant Kx ) should appear in the stronger inequality ux ) Kx ) uy). y <1 When dealing in Section 4 with the analogue of Khavinson s problem for the multidimensional half-space we show that in fact the sharp constants in pointwise estimates for the absolute value of the normal derivative and of the modulus of the gradient of a harmonic function coincide. We also show that similar assertions hold for p 1 and p. {. Auxilliary assertion. We introduce some notation used henceforth. Let R n x x x n ) : x x 1... x ) R x n > } S {x R n : x 1} S {x R n : x 1 x n > } and S {x R n : x 1 x n < }. Let e σ stand for the n-dimensional unit vector joining the origin to a point σ on the sphere S. By p we denote the norm in the space L p R ) that is { } 1/p f p fx ) p dx R if 1 p < and f ess { fx ) : x R }. Next by h p R n ) we denote the Hardy space of harmonic functions on R n which can be represented as the Poisson integral ux) R x n y x n uy )dy.1)

Now we find a representation for the best coefficient C p x; z) in the inequality for the absolute value of derivative of u at x R n in the arbitrary direction z S assuming that L p R ). In particular we obtain a formula for the constant in a similar inequality for the modulus of the gradient. Lemma 1. Let u h p R n ) and let x be an arbitrary point in R n.

Since z S and the remum with respect to the parameter α nγ n 1 n z z n n 1 in 5.1) is attained for α it follows that the absolute value of the directional derivative of a harmonic function u with respect to the normal e n to R n taken at an arbitrary point x R n has the same remum as ux). Remark. Inequality 5.1) can be written in the form ux) C x) uy). 5.) y R n Using here 5.) we arrive at the explicit sharp inequality ux) 4n 1))/ 1 n n/ x n uy) y R n which generalizes the real value analog 1.5) of 1.) to harmonic functions in the n-dimensional half-space. From 5.) it follows that ux) C x) y R n with an arbitrary constant ω. Minimizing 5.1) in ω we obtain ux) C x) osc R n u) is the oscillation of u on R n. Inequalities 5.) 5.) imply the sharp estimate ux) n 1))/ 1 n n/ x n uy) ω 5.1) osc R n u) 5.) osc R n u) which is an analogue of 1.3) for harmonic functions in R n.
