Using the flow method, we prove some existence results for the problem of prescribing the mean curvature on the unit ball. More precisely, we prove that there exists a conformal metric on the unit ball such that its mean curvature is f, when f possesses certain reflection or rotation symmetry.

We study the prescribed mean curvature equation with Neumann boundary conditions in domains of Riemannian manifold. The main goal is to establish the gradient estimates for solutions by the maximum principle. As a consequence, we obtain an existence result.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of Palais-Smale sequences associated with the prescribed mean curvature equation on a compact manifold with boundary. We prove that every such sequence converges to a solution of the associated equation plus finitely many “bubbles” obtained by rescaling fundamental solutions of the corresponding Euclidean boundary value problem.

We investigate the differences and similarities of the Dirichlet problem of the mean curvature equation in the Euclidean space and in the Lorentz-Minkowski space. 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 dropping the hypothesis on the mean convexity, which is required in the Euclidean case.

AbstractWe discuss existence, multiplicity, localisation and stability properties of solutions of the Dirichlet problem associated with the gradient dependent prescribed mean curvature equation in the Lorentz–Minkowski space$\left\{\begin{aligned} \displaystyle{-}\operatorname{div}\biggl{(}\frac{\nabla u% }{\sqrt{1-|\nabla u|^{2}}}\biggr{)}&\displaystyle=f(x,u,\nabla u)&&% \displaystyle\phantom{}\text{in }\Omega,\\ \displaystyle u&\displaystyle=0&&\displaystyle\phantom{}\text{on }\partial% \Omega.\end{aligned}\right.$The obtained results display various peculiarities, which are due to the special features of the involved differential operator and have no counterpart for elliptic problems driven by other quasilinear differential operators. This research is also motivated by some recent achievements in the study of prescribed mean curvature graphs in certain Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker, as well as Schwarzschild–Reissner–Nordström, spacetimes.
