Abstract

In this article, we show that (i) any smooth function on compact Riemann surface with non-empty smooth boundary (M,M,g) (M, \partial M, g) can be realized as a Gaussian curvature function; (ii) any smooth function on M \partial M can be realized as a geodesic curvature function for some metric g~[g] \tilde{g} \in [g] . The essential steps are the existence results of Brezis-Merle type equations Δgu+Au=Ke2u  in  M -\Delta_{g} u + Au = K e^{2u} \; {\rm in} \; M and uν+κu=σeu  on  M \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} + \kappa u = \sigma e^{u} \; {\rm on} \; \partial M with given functions K,σ K, \sigma and some constants A,κ A, \kappa . In addition, we rely on the extension of the uniformization theorem given by Osgood, Phillips and Sarnak.
