Let M be an n-dimensional Hadamard manifold, that is, a complete simply connected C∞ Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvatures. Making use of geodesic rays, Eberlein and O’Neill [11] constructed a compactification = MS(∞) of M which gives a homeomorphism of (M, S(∞)) with the Euclidean pair (Bn, Sn-1 ). In this paper we shall study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator, which is stated as follows:
