Although the solvability of the Dirichlet problem follows standards techniques of elliptic equations, we focus in showing how the spacelike condition in the Lorentz-Minkowski space allows to drop the hypothesis on the mean convexity which is required in the Euclidean case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-17T08:29:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58G20", "53A10", "53C50" ], "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature equation", "dirichlet problem", "lorentz-minkowski space", "euclidean space", "euclidean case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
