A Bernstein Type Theorem for Minimal Graphs over Convex Domains

Abstract

Given any n2n \geq 2, we show that if ΩRn\Omega \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n is an open convex domain (e.g. a half-space), and u:ΩRu : \Omega \to \mathbb{R} is a solution to the minimal surface equation which agrees with a linear function on Ω\partial \Omega, then uu must itself be linear.
