Abstract. We study harmonic functions on unbounded open set of Riemannian manifold and establish some existence and uniqueness results.
Let M be a smooth connected noncompact Riemannian manifold without boundary and Ω be a simply connected unbounded open set of M with C1- smooth boundary ∂Ω. Let 
be a smooth exhaustion of M i.e. sequence of precompact open subsets of M with C1-smooth boundaries ∂Bk such that 
for all k. In what follows we assume 
sets Bk ∩Ω are simply connected, ∂Bk and ∂Ω are transversal for all k.
Two continuous in M (in Ω, in ∂Ω, resp.) functions f1 and f2 are called equivalent in M (in Ω, in ∂Ω, resp.) 
if for some smooth exhaustion of M the following relation holds: 
| f1 - f2 | = 0
It isn’t hard to prove that ‘~’ is actually an equivalence relation and does not depend on the choice of a smooth exhaustion of M.
A continuous function f in Ω (in M, resp.) is called admissible in Ω (on M, resp.) if there is an harmonic function u in Ω (in M, resp.) such that 
Let B be an compact (with C1-smooth boundary) in M and 
be the solutions of the following Dirichlet problems:
By the maximum principle, the sequence is point-wise increasing and converges to an harmonic in M ∖ B function 
It is easy to see that 
The function νm is called the capacity potential of the compact B relatively to M.
We say that M is strong if 
It’s easy to verify that notion of strong manifold does not depend on choose the compact B.
We have the following result.
Theorem. Let M be a strong manifold, Ω ⊂ M be an unbounded open set with C1-smooth boundary ∂Ω, f be an admissible continuous in Ω function and φ — continuous in ∂Ω function such that 
Then there exists unique function u in Ω such that
Also we establish some existence and uniqueness results and prove solvability of the Dirichlet problem with continuous boundary data on a spherically symmetric manifolds with noncompact boundary.
Key words: boundary problems, harmonic functions, Riemannian manifolds, Dirichlet problem, model manifolds, manifolds with end.
