Abstract

In this paper, we prove two Liouville-type theorems for capillary minimal graph over R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+. First, if uu has linear growth, then for n=2,3n=2,3 and for any θ(0,π)\theta\in(0,\pi), or n4n\geq4 and θ(π6,5π6)\theta\in(\frac{\pi}6,\frac{5\pi}6), uu must be flat. Second, if uu is one-sided bounded on R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+, then for any nn and θ(0,π)\theta\in(0,\pi), uu must be flat. The proofs build upon gradient estimates for the mean curvature equation over R+n\mathbb{R}^n_+ with capillary boundary condition, which are based on carefully adapting the maximum principle to the capillary setting.
