These domains arise as perturbations of complements of straight cylinders in $\\R^N$, and by definition they support a positive harmonic function with vanishing Dirichlet boundary values and constant Neumann boundary values, the so-called roof function. While the domains have a similar shape as those constructed in the recent work \\cite{Fall-MinlendI-Weth3} for the case $N=3$, there is a striking constrast with regard to the shape of corresponding roof functions which are bounded for $N \\ge 4$. Moreover, while the analysis in \\cite{Fall-MinlendI-Weth3} does not extend to higher dimensions, the approach of the present paper depends heavily on the assumption $N \\ge 4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-12T23:43:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "higher dimensions", "roof function", "constant neumann boundary values", "nontrivial unbounded exceptional domains", "vanishing dirichlet boundary values" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
