Abstract

This short note is motivated by an attempt to understand the distinction between the Laplace operator and the hyperbolic Laplacian on the unit ball of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, regarding the Lipschitz continuity of the solutions to the corresponding Dirichlet problems. We investigate the Dirichlet problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \Delta_{\vartheta} u = 0, & \text{ in }\, \mathbb{B}^n,\\ u=\phi, & \text{ on }\, \mathbb{S}^{n-1}, \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} where Δϑ:=(1x2){1x24Δ+ϑj=1nxjxj+ϑ(n21ϑ)I}. \Delta_{\vartheta} := (1-|x|^2) \bigg\{ \frac {1-|x|^2} {4} \Delta + \vartheta \sum_{j=1}^n x_{j} \frac {\partial } {\partial x_j} + \vartheta \left( \frac {n}{2}-1- \vartheta \right) I\bigg\}. We show that the Lipschitz continuity of boundary data always implies the Lipschitz continuity of the solutions if ϑ>0\vartheta > 0, but does not when ϑ0\vartheta \leq 0.
