In this paper, we use the Perron method to prove the existence and uniqueness of the exterior problem for a kind of parabolic Monge-Ampère equation $ -u_t+\log\det D^2u = f(x) $ with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity, where $ f $ is asymptotically close to a radial function at infinity. We generalize the results of both the elliptic exterior problems and the parabolic interior problems for the Monge-Ampère equations.

Keywords: Parabolic Monge-Ampère equation, exterior problem, existence, uniqueness, Perron method.
