DOI:
Keywords:
Harmonic functions, information measures, hypergroupsAbstract
A survey is given on the Liouville property of harmonic functions on groups and hypergroups. The discussion of a characterization of that property in terms of the underlying algebraic structures yields interesting open problems.References
