Abstract

We consider the problem of prescribing Gaussian and geodesic curvatures for a conformal metric on the unit disk. This is equivalent to solving the following P.D.E. \begin{equation*}\begin{cases}-\Delta u=2K(z)e^u&\hbox{in}\;\mathbb{D}^2,\\ \partial_\nu u+2=2h(z)e^\frac u2&\hbox{on}\;\partial\mathbb{D}^2,\end{cases} \end{equation*} where K,hK,h are the prescribed curvatures. We construct a family of conformal metrics with curvatures Kε,hεK_\varepsilon,h_\varepsilon converging to K,hK,h respectively as ε\varepsilon goes to 00, which blows up at one boundary point under some generic assumptions.
