View source for Logarithmically-subharmonic function

{{TEX|done}}
A positive function $u(x)$ in a domain of the Euclidean space $\mathbf R^n$, $n\geq2$, whose logarithm $\log u(x)$ is a [[Subharmonic function|subharmonic function]]. For example, the modulus $|f(z)|$ of an analytic function $f(z)$ of a complex variable is a logarithmically-subharmonic function, but there are continuous logarithmically-subharmonic functions in planar domains that cannot be represented as the modulus of any analytic function. The logarithmically-subharmonic functions constitute a subclass of the strongly-subharmonic functions (cf. [[Subharmonic function|Subharmonic function]]). For $n=1$ they correspond to logarithmically-convex functions.

The main property of logarithmically-subharmonic functions is that not only the product, but also a positive linear combination, of several logarithmically-subharmonic functions is a logarithmically-subharmonic function.
