We consider a Plateau problem in codimension 1 in the non-parametric setting, where a Dirichlet boundary datum is assigned only on part of the boundary ∂Ω of a bounded convex domain Ω ⊂ R2. Where the Dirichlet datum is not prescribed, we allow a free contact with the horizontal plane. We show existence of a solution, and prove regularity for the corresponding area-minimizing surface. We compare these solutions with the classical minimal surfaces of Meeks and Yau, and show that they are equivalent when the Dirichlet boundary datum is assigned on at most 2 disjoint arcs of ∂Ω.

Abstract

We consider a Plateau problem in codimension 1 in the non-parametric setting, where a Dirichlet boundary datum is assigned only on part of the boundary ∂Ω of a bounded convex domain Ω ⊂ R2. Where the Dirichlet datum is not prescribed, we allow a free contact with the horizontal plane. We show existence of a solution, and prove regularity for the corresponding area-minimizing surface. We compare these solutions with the classical minimal surfaces of Meeks and Yau, and show that they are equivalent when the Dirichlet boundary datum is assigned on at most 2 disjoint arcs of ∂Ω.
