Note on an eigenvalue problem with applications to a Minkowski type regularity problem in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) (Q2296685)

Let \(\alpha\in (0, \pi]\) and \(K(\alpha)=\{(x=(x_1,x_2, \dots, x_n): x_1>\cos(\alpha |x|)\}\subset {\mathbb R}^n\), \(n\geq 2\). The authors investigate solutions of \(\Delta_p u=0\) in \(K(\alpha)\) which vanish continuously on \(K(\alpha)\setminus\{0\}\) and are \(\lambda\)-homogeneous, \(\lambda\in {\mathbb R}\). If \(\alpha=\pi\) it is shown that any solution which vanishes continuously on \(\partial K(\pi)\) must be \(1-(n-1)/p\) homogeneous, where \(p>n-1\). As an application, the authors establish a Minkowski regularity result in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) for \(n=2,3\).
