Examples of non-Dini domains with large singular sets

Abstract Let u u be a nontrivial harmonic function in a domain D ⊂ R d D\subset {{\mathbb{R}}}^{d} , which vanishes on an open set of the boundary. In a recent article, we showed that if D D is a C 1 {C}^{1} -Dini domain, then, within the open set, the singular set of u u , defined as { X ∈ D ¯ : u ( X ) = 0 = ∣ ∇ u ( X ) ∣ } \left\{X\in \overline{D}:u\left(X)=0=| \nabla u\left(X)| \right\} , has finite ( d − 2 ) \left(d-2) -dimensional Hausdorff measure. In this article, we show that the assumption of C 1 {C}^{1} -Dini domains is sharp, by constructing a large class of non-Dini (but almost Dini) domains whose singular sets have infinite ℋ d − 2 {{\mathcal{ {\mathcal H} }}}^{d-2} -measures.
