Note on an eigenvalue problem with applications to a Minkowski type regularity problem in R^n

where [ K (alpha) := { x = (x_1, dots, x_n ): x_1 > cos alpha , | x| } quad mbox{for fixed}, , alpha in (0, pi ], ] with continuous boundary value zero on

p a r t i a l K (a l p h a) s e t m i n u s 0

. In our main result we show that if

u

has continuous boundary value

0

on

p a r t i a l K (p i)

then

u

is homogeneous of degree

1 - (n - 1) / p

when

p > n - 1.

Applications of this result are given to a Minkowski type regularity problem in

m a t h b b R^{n}

when

n = 2, 3

.

Review text

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 \(n=2,3\).
