We prove that there exists a unique solution. We also prove that if the measure is doubling and the obstacle is continuous, then the solution is continuous, and moreover p-harmonic in the set where it does not touch the obstacle. This includes, as a special case, the solution of the Dirichlet problem for p-harmonic functions with Sobolev type boundary data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-11-23T04:03:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31E05", "31C45", "35D30", "35J20", "35J25", "35J60", "47J20", "49J40", "49J52", "49Q20", "58J05", "58J32" ], "keywords": [ "dirichlet problems", "p-harmonic functions", "unbounded sets", "metric spaces", "metric measure space supporting" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.5955H" } } }
