We prove that a surface of prescribed mean curvature ($H$-surface) with free boundary on a two-dimensional $C^2$-manifold belongs to $C^{1,\frac{1}{2}}$ up to that the boundary, provided it is a-priori continuous. We allow the $H$-surface…

We consider the isoperimetric problem in $\mathbb R^n$ with density for the planar case $n=2$. We show that, if the density is ${\rm C}^{0,\alpha}$, then the boundary of any isoperimetric is of class ${\rm C}^{1,\frac \alpha{3-2\alpha}}$.…
