Abstract

We prove that a strictly stable minimal Ch2C^2_h intrinsic graph G is locally area-minimizing, i.e. given any Ch1C^1_h graph SS with the same boundary, Area(G)<Area(S)\text{Area}(G)<\text{Area}(S) unless G=SG=S. As a consequence we show the existence and the uniqueness of CC^\infty minimal graphs with prescribed small boundary datum.
