Abstract

Consider a solution fC2(Ω)f\in C^{2}(\Omega) of a prescribed mean curvature equation div(f1+f2)=2H(x,f)    in  Ω, {\rm div}\left(\frac{\nabla f}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla f|^{2}}}\right)=2H(x,f) \ \ \ \ {\rm in} \ \ \Omega, where Ω\Real2\Omega\subset \Real^{2} is a domain whose boundary has a corner at O=(0,0)Ω.{\cal O}=(0,0)\in\partial\Omega. If supxΩf(x)\sup_{x\in\Omega} |f(x)| and supxΩH(x,f(x))\sup_{x\in\Omega} |H(x,f(x))| are both finite and Ω\Omega has a reentrant corner at O,{\cal O}, then the radial limits of ff at O,{\cal O}, Rf(θ)\myeqlimr0f(rcos(θ),rsin(θ)), Rf(\theta) \myeq \lim_{r\downarrow 0} f(r\cos(\theta),r\sin(\theta)), are shown to exist and to have a specific type of behavior, independent of the boundary behavior of ff on Ω.\partial\Omega. If supxΩf(x)\sup_{x\in\Omega} |f(x)| and supxΩH(x,f(x))\sup_{x\in\Omega} |H(x,f(x))| are both finite and the trace of ff on one side has a limit at O,{\cal O}, then the radial limits of ff at O{\cal O} exist and have a specific type of behavior.
