Abstract

In this paper we find approximate solutions of certain Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problems for minimal surfaces in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and null holomorphic curves in Cn\mathbb{C}^n for any n3n\ge 3. With this tool in hand we construct complete conformally immersed minimal surfaces in Rn\mathbb{R}^n which are normalized by any given bordered Riemann surface and have Jordan boundaries. We also furnish complete conformal proper minimal immersions from any given bordered Riemann surface to any smoothly bounded, strictly convex domain of Rn\mathbb{R}^n which extend continuously up to the boundary; for n5n\ge 5 we find embeddings with these properties.
