The Dirichlet problem for the $\alpha$-translating soliton equation on a strip

Abstract

We prove the existence of classical solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the $\alpha$-translating soliton equation defined in a strip of $\r^2$. We use the Perron method where a family of grim reapers are employed as barriers for solving the Dirichlet problem when the boundary data is formed by two copies of a convex function.
