A note on minimal graphs over certain unbounded domains of Hadamard manifolds

Miriam Telichevesky

Vol. 281 (2016), No. 1, 243–255
Abstract

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 a 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.
