Abstract: In these notes we study the Dirichlet problem for critical points of a convex functional of the form [ F(u)=int_{Omega}phileft( leftvert abla u ightvert ight) , ] where $Omega$ is a bounded domain of a complete Riemannian manifold $mathcalM.$ We also study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem when $Omega=mathcalM$ is a Cartan-Hadamard manifold. Our aim is to present a unified approach to this problem which comprises the classical examples of the $p-$Laplacian ($phi(s)=s^p$, $p>1)$ and the minimal surface equation ($phi(s)=sqrt1+s^2$). Our approach does not use the direct method of the Calculus of Variations which seems to be common in the case of the $p-$Laplacian. Instead, we use the classical method of a-priori $C^1$ estimates of smooth solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equation. These estimates are obtained by a coordinate free calculus. Degenerate elliptic equations like the $p-$Laplacian are dealt with by an approximation argument. These notes address mainly researchers and graduate students interested in elliptic partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds and may serve as a material for corresponding courses and seminars.
