Existence of prescribed mean curvature graphs in hyperbolic space

Abstract

 In this paper we are concerned with questions of existence and uniqueness of graph-like prescribed mean curvature hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space ?ⁿ⁺¹. In the half-space setting, we will study radial graphs over the totally geodesic hypersurface . We prove the following existence result: Let be a bounded domain of class and let . If everywhere on , where denotes the hyperbolic mean curvature of the cylinder over , then for every there is a unique graph over with mean curvature attaining the boundary values on . Further we show the existence of smooth boundary data such that no solution exists in case of for some under the assumption that has a sign.
