Role of fundamental solutions for optimal Lipschitz extensions on hyperbolic space (Q2576182)

The authors deal with Lipschitz continuous functions that have the absolutely minimizing property. The function is defined on a subset of a two-dimensional hyperbolic space \(H\) equipped with Poincaré metric. One of the main results is the following: Theorem. Let \(U\subset H\) be an open set and \(u:U\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\) be a continuous function. Then the following conditions on \(u\) are equivalent: (i) \(u\) satisfies the absolutely minimizing property. (ii) \(u\) is a viscosity solution of the equation \(-y\Delta _{\infty}u-\left| \nabla u\right| ^{2}u_{y}=0,\) where \[ \Delta_{\infty}u=u_{x}^{2}u_{xx}^{2}+2u_{x}u_{y}u_{xy}+u_{y}^{2}u_{yy}. \] (iii) \(u\) enjoys comparison with cones.
