Abstract: In this paper we study the linear Weingarten equation defined by the fully non-linear PDE ${\displaystyle }$a, mbox{div}frac{Du}{sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}+b, frac{mbox{det}D^2u}{(1+|Du|^2)^2}=phileft(frac{1}{sqrt{1+|Du|^2}} ight)${\displaystyle }$ in a domain $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^2$, where $phiin{C}^1([-1,1])$ and $a,binmathbbR$. We approach the existence of radial solutions when $Omega$ is a disk of small radius, giving an affirmative answer when the PDE is of elliptic type. In the hyperbolic case we show that no radial solution exists, while in the parabolic case we find explicitly all the solutions. Finally, in the elliptic case we prove uniqueness and symmetry results concerning the Dirichlet problem of such equation.

Review text

This paper mainly investigates the existence of classical solutions to the two-dimensional fully nonlinear Weingarten equation \[ \begin{cases} a~\operatorname{div}\frac{Du}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}+b~\frac{\mathrm{det}D^2u}{(1+|Du|^2)^2}=\phi\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}\Big) & \text{ in }~\Omega,\\ u=0& \text{ on }~\partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\phi\in C^1([-1, 1])\) and \(a, b\in \mathbb{R}\). For \(\Omega=B(0, R)\), the paper proves that no radial solutions exist in the hyperbolic case and finds explicitly all radial solutions in the parabolic case, while in the elliptic case it gives a radial solution by contraction mapping theorem for small \(R\). Moreover, in the elliptic case the uniqueness and symmetry structure of solutions to the problem on general \(\Omega\) are achieved by the maximum principle and the moving plane method, which completely solves the problem in this situation.
