Elliptic Harnack inequality for ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$

Siva Athreya, Nitya Gadhiwala and Ritvik R. Radhakrishnan

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 4, 687–708
Abstract

We prove the scale-invariant elliptic Harnack inequality (EHI) for nonnegative harmonic functions on d . The purpose of this note is to provide a simplified self-contained probabilistic proof of the EHI in d that is accessible at the undergraduate level. We use the local central limit theorem for simple symmetric random walks on d to establish Gaussian bounds for the n-step probability function. The uniform Green inequality and the classical balayage formula then imply the EHI.
