Abstract

Previous work of the authors established the rigorous limiting behavior of minimizing capillary surfaces to minimizers of the Alt--Caffarelli functional as the capillary angle tends to zero. We prove here that in this limit, the capillary area-density converges to the Weiss energy density. We apply this to obtain angle-independent curvature estimates and regularity results for capillary minimizers.
