Contribution

It introduces a representation formula for solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation and establishes their Lipschitz continuity.

Findings

Solutions have a specific integral representation involving Poisson and Green integrals.

Solutions are Lipschitz continuous if they are of the form P_h[φ] - G_h[ψ].

The representation holds for solutions with boundary data and integrability conditions.

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation $\Delta_{h}u(x)=\psi(x)$, where $\psi\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{B}^{n}, \mathbb{R}^n)$ and \[ \Delta_{h}u(x)= (1-|x|^2)^2\Delta u(x)+2(n-2)(1-|x|^2)\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}(x) \] is the hyperbolic Laplace operator in the $n$-dimensional space $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n\ge 2$. We show that if $n\geq 3$ and $u\in C^{2}(\mathbb{B}^{n},\mathbb{R}^n) \cap C(\overline{\mathbb{B}^{n}},\mathbb{R}^n )$ is a solution to the hyperbolic Poisson equation, then it has the representation $u=P_{h}[\phi]-G_{ h}[\psi]$ provided that $u\mid_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}=\phi$ and $\int_{\mathbb{B}^{n}}(1-|x|^{2})^{n-1} |\psi(x)|\,d\tau(x)<\infty$. Here $P_{h}$ and $G_{h}$ denote Poisson and Green integrals with respect to $\Delta_{h}$, respectively. Furthermore, we prove that functions of the form $u=P_{h}[\phi]-G_{h}[\psi]$ are Lipschitz continuous.
