Definition

The requirement that at a given boundary point there exists a positive superharmonic function (a barrier) defined in a neighborhood of the point, vanishing at the point and strictly positive in the punctured neighborhood, which forces Perron envelopes to attain the boundary value and thereby guarantees pointwise solvability.
