Abstract
In this paper, we apply a capillary John ellipsoid theorem for capillary convex bodies in the Euclidean half-space . This theorem yields a non-collapsing estimate for capillary hypersurfaces, which provides a new approach to obtaining estimates for solutions to some capillary curvature problems (including the capillary Christoffel-Minkowski problem and the capillary curvature problem), based on the corresponding gradient estimates. As an application, we study the capillary dual Minkowski problem. By deriving a gradient estimate, refining a estimate, and combining these with the non-collapsing estimate, we establish existence in the case and improve upon the existing existence result for the case in .
