DISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS. SERIES S
Abstract
We develop a lower and upper solution method for the Dirichlet problem associated with the prescribed mean curvature equation in Minkowski space {-div(∇u/√1-|∇u|2=f(x,u) in Ω u=0 on ∂Ω Here Ω is a bounded regular domain in RNand the function f satisfies the Carathéodory conditions. The obtained results display various peculiarities due to the special features of the involved differential operator.
