The Orlicz-Aleksandrov problem for pseudo-cones
Siqi Lei, Xudong Wang
TL;DR
The paper addresses the Orlicz-Aleksandrov problem for unbounded pseudo-cones by introducing the Orlicz-integral Gauss curvature $J_\phi(K,\eta)$ and developing a direct variational framework. A perturbation-based variational formula links infinitesimal changes in the defining data to $J_\phi$, enabling construction of solutions on compact sets and a cone-extension argument to handle general measures. The authors prove existence—and in fact nonuniqueness—of solutions, showing that for a given nonzero finite measure $\mu$ on $\Omega_C$ there exists $K\in ps(C)$ and a constant $c>0$ with $c\,J_\phi(K,\cdot)=\mu$ on $\Omega_C$. This extends the classical Aleksandrov problem to the Orlicz setting for pseudo-cones, connecting Orlicz curvature measures with Gauss image problems and dual Minkowski theory in a noncompact setting.
Abstract
In this paper, integral Gauss curvature of pseudo-cones is extended to the Orlicz setting and the corresponding Orlicz-Aleksandrov problem is studied. By the direct variational method and a restrictive technology, we obtain infinitely many solutions to the Orlicz-Aleksandrov problem for pseudo-cones.
