Abstract. From a Minkowski-type metric on Rn+ satisfying the Einstein
con-dition, we derive a nonlinear partial differential equation. In order to know the property of its solutions, we obtain an approximate solution with certain boundary conditions numerically by the finite element method, which will give us some clues to get theoretical solutions.
