Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem at infinity for harmonic maps between the Poincaré model D of the hyperbolic plane ${\mathbb {H}^2}$, and solve this when given boundary data are ${C^4}$ immersions of $D(\infty )$, the boundary at infinity of D, to $D(\infty )$. Also, we present a construction of nonconformal harmonic diffeomorphisms of D, and give a complete description of the boundary behavior, including their first derivatives.
