Convex Envelopes on Trees

We introduce two notions of convexity for an infinite regular tree. For these two notions we show that given a continuous boundary datum there exists a unique convex envelope on the tree and characterize the equation that this envelope satisfies. We also relate the equation with two versions of the...

Sumario:We introduce two notions of convexity for an infinite regular tree. For these two notions we show that given a continuous boundary datum there exists a unique convex envelope on the tree and characterize the equation that this envelope satisfies. We also relate the equation with two versions of the Laplacian on the tree. Moreover, for a function defined on the tree, the convex envelope turns out to be the solution to the obstacle problem for this equation.
