Abstract

In this paper we study the Plateau problem for disk-type surfaces contained in conic regions of R3\mathbb{R}^{3} and with prescribed mean curvature HH. Assuming a suitable growth condition on HH, we prove existence of a least energy HH-surface XX spanning an arbitrary Jordan curve Γ\Gamma taken in the cone. Then we address the problem of describing such surface XX as radial graph when the Jordan curve Γ\Gamma admits a radial representation. Assuming a suitable monotonicity condition on the mapping λλH(λp)\lambda\mapsto\lambda H(\lambda p) and some strong convexity-type condition on the radial projection of the Jordan curve Γ\Gamma, we show that the HH-surface XX can be represented as a radial graph.
