Abstract: On the ambient space of a Lie group with a left invariant metric that is isometric and isomorphic to a semidirect product $mathbb{R}^{2}time{s}_{A}mathbbR$, we consider a domain $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^{2}time{s}_{A}0$ and vertical $pi$-graphs over $Omega$ and study the partial differential equation a function $u:OmegaightarrowmathbbR$ must satisfy in order to have prescribed mean curvature $H$. Using techniques from quasilinear elliptic equations we prove that if a $pi-$graph has non-negative mean curvature, then it satisfy some uniform height estimates that depend on $Omega$ and on a parameter $alpha$, given a priori. When $exttrace(A)>0$, these estimates imply that the oscillation of a minimal graph assuming the same constant value $n$ along the boundary tends to zero when $nightarrow+infty$ and goes to $+infty$ if $nightarrow-infty$. Furthermore, we use some of the estimates, allied with techniques from Killing graphs, to prove the existence of minimal $pi-$graphs assuming the value $0$ along a piecewise smooth curve $gamma$ with endpoints $p_1,,p_2$ and having as boundary $gammacup(p_{1}imes[0,,+infty))cup(p_{2}imes[0,,+infty))$.
