Abstract

In this paper, we apply a capillary John ellipsoid theorem for capillary convex bodies in the Euclidean half-space R+n+1\overline{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_{+}}. This theorem yields a non-collapsing estimate for capillary hypersurfaces, which provides a new approach to obtaining C0C^{0} estimates for solutions to some capillary curvature problems (including the capillary LpL_{p} Christoffel-Minkowski problem and the capillary LpL_{p} curvature problem), based on the corresponding gradient estimates. As an application, we study the capillary LpL_{p} dual Minkowski problem. By deriving a gradient estimate, refining a C2C^{2} estimate, and combining these with the non-collapsing estimate, we establish existence in the case 1<pq31<p\leq q\leq 3 and improve upon the existing existence result for the case p>qp > q in R+3\overline{\mathbb{R}^3_{+}}.
