Polyharmonic functions f of infinite order and type {\tau} on annular regions are systematically studied. The first main result states that the Fourier-Laplace coefficients f_{k,l}(r) of a polyharmonic function f of infinite order and type 0 can be extended to analytic functions on the complex plane cut along the negative semiaxis. The second main result gives a constructive procedure via Fourier-Laplace series for the analytic extension of a polyharmonic function on annular region A(r_{0},r_{1}) of infinite order and type less than 1/2r_{1} to the kernel of the harmonicity hull of the annular region. The methods of proof depend on an extensive investigation of Taylor series with respect to linear differential operators with constant coefficients.

Let $u\left( t,y\right) $ be a polyharmonic function of order $N$ defined on the strip $\left( a,b\right) \times\mathbb{R}^{d}$ satisfying the growth condition $$ \sup_{t\in K}\left\vert u\left( t,y\right) \right\vert \leq o\left( \left\vert y\right\vert ^{\left( 1-d\right) /2}e^{\frac{\pi}{c}\left\vert y\right\vert }\right) $$ for $\left\vert y\right\vert \rightarrow\infty$ and any compact subinterval $K$ of $\left( a,b\right) $, and suppose that $u\left( t,y\right) $ vanishes on $2N-1$ equidistant hyperplanes of the form $\left\{ t_{j}\right\} \times\mathbb{R}^{d}$ for $t_{j}=t_{0}+jc\in\left( a,b\right) $ and $j=-\left( N-1\right) ,...,N-1.$ Then it is shown that $u\left( t,y\right) $ is odd at $t_{0},$ i.e. that $u\left( t_{0}+t,y\right) =-u\left( t_{0}-t,y\right) $ for $y\in\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The second main result states that $u$ is identically zero provided that $u$ satisfies the growth condition and vanishes on $2N$ equidistant hyperplanes with distance $c.$

To address the uniqueness issues associated with the Dirichlet problem for the $N$-harmonic equation on the unit disk $\D$ in the plane, we investigate the $L^p$ integrability of $N$-harmonic functions with respect to the standard weights $(1-|z|^2)^{\alpha}$. The question at hand is the following. If $u$ solves $\Delta^N u=0$ in $\D$, where $\Delta$ stands for the Laplacian, and [\int_\D|u(z)|^p (1-|z|^2)^{\alpha}\diff A(z)

We prove a pointwise control for the Green's function of polyharmonic operators with holes: this control is uniform while holes shrink. For the usual Laplacian, such a control is given by the maximum principle; the techniques developed here applies to general polyharmonic operators for which there is no comparison principle.

In trigonometric series terms all polyharmonic functions inside the unit disk are described. For such functions it is proved the existence of their boundary values on the unit circle in the space of hyperfunctions. The necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the boundary value to belong to certain subspaces of the space of hyperfunctions.

Assume that $f$ is Dunkl polyharmonic in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. $(\Delta_h)^p f=0$ for some integer $p$, where $\Delta_h$ is the Dunkl Laplacian associated to a root system $R$ and to a multiplicity function $\kappa$, defined on $R$ and invariant with respect to the finite Coxeter group). Necessary and successful condition that $f$ is a polynomial of degree $\le s$ for $s\ge 2p-2$ is proved. As a direct corollary, a Dunkl harmonic function bounded above or below is constant.

In the present paper we introduce the notion of harmonicity modulus and harmonicity K-functional and apply these notions to prove a Jackson type theorem for approximation of continuous functions by polyharmonic functions. For corresponding results on approximation by polynomials see [3, 7].
