Title: Growth rate and existence of solutions to Dirichlet problems for
       prescribed mean curvature equations on unbounded domains
 
Author: Zhiren Jin (Wichita State Univ., Kansas, USA)

Abstract: 
 We prove growth rate estimates and existence of solutions to
 Dirichlet problems for prescribed mean curvature
 equation on unbounded domains inside the complement
 of a cone or a parabola like region in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$).
 The existence results are proved using a modified Perron's
 method by which a subsolution is a solution to the minimal
 surface equation, while the role played by a supersolution is
 replaced by estimates on the uniform $C^{0}$ bounds on
 the liftings of subfunctions on compact sets.
