Let M be a Cartan-Hadamard manifold of dimension n (n ≥ 2). Suppose that M satisfies for every x > M outside a compact set an inequality:

where b, A are positive constants and A > 4. Then M admits a wealth of bounded harmonic functions, more precisely, the Dirichlet problem of the Laplacian of M at infinity can be solved for any continuous boundary data on Sn−1(∞).
