Abstract

We obtain an explicit representation for quasiradial γ\gamma-harmonic functions, which shows that these functions have essentially algebraic nature. In particular, we give a complete description of all γ\gamma which admit algebraic quasiradial solutions. Unlike the cases γ=\gamma=\infty and γ=1\gamma=1, only finitely many algebraic solutions is shown to exist for any fixed γ>1|\gamma|>1. Moreover, there is a special extremal series of γ\gamma which exactly corresponds to the well-known ideal mm-atomic gas adiabatic constant γ=2m+32m+1\gamma=\frac{2m+3}{2m+1}.
