Can there exist such a harmonic function?

$begingroup$


If $D={z:Im(z)>0, |Re(z)|<pi/2}$ be a half strip. Let $L_1$ be the left boundary:
$L_1={z:Re(z)=-pi/2,Im(z)>0}$. Similarly, let $L_2={z:Re(z)=pi/2,Im(z)>0}$, $L_3={z:|Re(z)|<pi/2,Im(z)=0}$. Can a harmonic function be found if $u|_{L_1}=1$, $u|_{L_2}=3$, $u|_{L_3}=5$?.

    You should be clearer about the properties of $u.$ Is $u$ continuous on $D cup L_1 cup L_2cup L_3?$ Also, what does this have to do with several complex variables?

    @zhw when I am seeking for a harmonic function I presume the function to be at least twice continuously differentiable in $D$ in the regular sense and not in the weak sense in $D$. Of course, I need continuity on $L_1bigcup L_2bigcup L_3$.

    Continuity on $L_1cup L_2cup L_3$ is obvious. It's continuity on $Dcup L_1cup L_2cup L_3$ that we need.

    @zhw...Well, being twice differentiable in the interior and continuous on the boundary obviously implies continuity of the function in $Dbigcup L_1bigcup L_2bigcup L_3$. I don't see what is the relevance of your answer to this question. Could you please elaborate?.

    No, that's not true. Being continuous on $L_1cup L_2 cup L_3$ does not imply continuity on $Dcup L_1cup L_2 cup L_3$ For example, the function that equals $0$ on $D$ and equals $1$ on $L_1cup L_2 cup L_3$ is continuous on $L_1cup L_2 cup L_3$ but not on $Dcup L_1cup L_2 cup L_3$
