Abstract

We introduce an extended exterior (K,K,α0)(K,K^{\prime},\alpha_0)--quasiconformal mapping method to study the asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions to the supercritical phase Lagrangian mean curvature equation i=1narctanλi(D2u)=θ+f(x) \sum_{i=1}^{n} \arctan \lambda_i(D^2u) = \theta + f(x) on exterior domains in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, where the constant θ((n2)π/2,nπ/2)|\theta|\in((n-2)\pi/2,n\pi/2), n2n\geq 2, and f=O(xβ)f=O(|x|^{-\beta}) is a perturbation term with the sharp decay condition β>2\beta>2 at infinity. Our work generalizes the classical exterior Bernstein-type theorem for the special Lagrangian equation (f0f\equiv0) established by Li--Li--Yuan [Adv. Math. (2020)]. Via Perron's method, we solve the corresponding Dirichlet problem outside a bounded, uniformly convex domain, prescribing asymptotic behavior at infinity. For n3n \geq 3, we establish existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions in both the supercritical phase case with f≢0f \not\equiv 0 and the subcritical phase case with f0f \equiv 0. This extends earlier work by Li [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. (2019)] on the exterior Dirichlet problem for the special Lagrangian equation (f0f \equiv 0) under weaker regularity assumptions on the interior boundary and boundary data.
