Let M be Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature K M ≤ −k 2 , k > 0. Denote by ∂ ∞ M the asymptotic boundary of M . We say that M satisfies the strict convexity condition (SC condition) if, given x ∈ ∂ ∞ M and a relatively open subset W ⊂ ∂ ∞ M containing x, there exists a C 2 open subset Ω ⊂ M such that x ∈ Int (∂ ∞ Ω) ⊂ W and M \ Ω is convex. We prove that the SC condition implies that M is regular at infinity relative to the operator Q [u] := div a(|∇u|) |∇u| ∇u , subject to some conditions. It follows that under the SC condition, the Dirichlet problem for the minimal hypersurface and the p-Laplacian (p > 1) equations are solvable for any prescribed continuous asymptotic boundary data. It is also proved that if M is rotationally symmetric or if inf B R+1 K M ≥ −e 2kR /R 2+2ǫ , R ≥ R * , for some R * and ǫ > 0, where B R+1 is the geodesic ball with radius R + 1 centered at a fixed point of M, then M satisfies the SC condition.
This result can be seen as a limit case of the existence theorem proved by B. Guan and J. Spruck in [6] on CMC |H| < 1 radial graphs with prescribed C 0 asymptotic boundary data. arXiv:1503.08083v2 [math.DG] 1 Apr 2015
Given an unbounded domain Ω of a Hadamard manifold M , it makes sense to consider the problem of finding minimal graphs with prescribed continuous data on its cone-topology-boundary, i.e., on its ordinary boundary together with its asymptotic boundary. In this article it is proved that under the hypothesis that the sectional curvature of M is ≤ −1 this Dirichlet problem is solvable if Ω satisfies certain convexity condition at infinity and if ∂Ω is mean convex. We also prove that mean convexity of ∂Ω is a necessary condition, extending to unbounded domains some results that are valid on bounded ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
