Abstract

We show that any classical solution of the diffusive Hamilton-Jacobi (DHJ) equation $-\Delta u= |\nabla u|^p$ in a half-space with zero boundary conditions for $1<p\le 2$ is necessarily one-dimensional. This improves the previously known result, which required an extra assumption of boundedness from above. Combined with the existing analogous result for $p>2$, our result completes the full classification picture of the Dirichlet problem for equation (DHJ) in a half-space.
