### Abstract

We establish a new 3G-Theorem for the Green’s function for the half space $$\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+} := \{x = (x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}) \in \mathbb{R}^{n} : x_{n} > 0\}, (n \geq 3).$$ We exploit this result to introduce a new class of potentials $$K(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ that we characterize by means of the Gauss semigroup on $$\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}$$ . Next, we define a subclass $$K^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ of $$K(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ and we study it. In particular, we prove that $$K^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ properly contains the classical Kato class $$K^\infty_n (\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ . Finally, we study the existence of positive continuous solutions in $$\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}$$ of the following nonlinear elliptic problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \Delta u + h(., u) = 0,\\hbox{in}\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+} \ \hbox{(in the sense of distributions)},&\\ u|_{\partial\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}} = 0, &\end{array}\right.$$ where h is a Borel measurable function in $$\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+} \times (0,\infty),$$ satisfying some appropriate conditions related to the class $$K^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+})$$ .
