This problem comes from the study of mean curvature flow and its generalization, the flow by powers of mean curvature. Our approach is a modified version of the classical Perron method, where the solutions to the minimal surface equation are used as sub-solutions and a family auxiliary functions are constructed as super-solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-09-16T08:36:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J60", "52C44" ], "keywords": [ "unbounded domains", "translating solutions", "minimal surface equation", "quasi-linear elliptic equations", "mean curvature flow" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.jde.2011.01.014", "journal": "Journal of Differential Equations", "year": 2011, "volume": 250, "number": 10, "pages": 3967 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011JDE...250.3967J" } } }
