Regularity at infinity of Hadamard manifolds with respect to some elliptic operators and applications to asymptotic Dirichlet problems

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let MM be Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature KM≤−k2K_{M}\leq-k^{2}, k>0k>0. Denote by ∂∞M\partial_{\infty}M the asymptotic boundary of MM. We say that MM satisfies the strict convexity condition (SC condition) if, given x∈∂∞Mx\in\partial_{\infty}M and a relatively open subset W⊂∂∞MW\subset\partial_{\infty}M containing xx, there exists a C2C^{2} open subset Ω⊂MΩ\subset M such that x∈Int⁡(∂∞Ω)⊂Wx\in\operatorname*{Int}(\partial_{\infty}Ω) \subset W and M∖ΩM\setminusΩ is convex. We prove that the SC condition implies that MM is regular at infinity relative to the operator Q[u]:=div(a(∣∇u∣)∣∇u∣∇u),\mathcal{Q}[u] :=\mathrm{div}(\frac{a(|\nabla u|)}{|\nabla u|}\nabla u), subject to some conditions. It follows that under the SC condition, the Dirichlet problem for the minimal hypersurface and the pp-Laplacian (p>1p>1) equations are solvable for any prescribed continuous asymptotic boundary data. It is also proved that if MM is rotationally symmetric or if inf⁡BR+1KM≥−e2kR/R2+2ε,R≥R∗,\inf_{B_{R+1}}K_{M}\geq-e^{2kR}/R^{2+2ε}, R\geq R^{\ast}, for some R∗R^{\ast} and ε>0,ε>0, where BR+1B_{R+1} is the geodesic ball with radius R+1R+1 centered at a fixed point of M,M, then MM satisfies the SC condition.
