Solving the Plateau problem means to find the surface with minimal area among all surfaces with a given boundary. Part of the problem actually consists of giving a suitable definition to the notions of 'surface', 'area' and 'boundary'. The…

Classically, Plateau's problem asks to find a surface of the least area with a given boundary $B$. In this article, we investigate a version of Plateau's problem, where the boundary of an admissible surface is only required to partially…

In this paper we continue to study the connection among the area minimizing problem, certain area functional and the Dirichlet problem of minimal surface equations in a class of conformal cones with a similar motivation from \cite{GZ20}.…

We consider a Plateau problem in codimension $1$ in the non-parametric setting. A Dirichlet boundary datum is given only on part of the boundary $\partial \Omega$ of a bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Where the Dirichlet…

It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…

The Riemannian Penrose inequality (RPI) bounds from below the ADM mass of asymptotically flat manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature in terms of the total area of all outermost compact minimal surfaces. The general form of the RPI is…

In this paper we study the Plateau problem for disk-type surfaces contained in conic regions of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ and with prescribed mean curvature $H$. Assuming a suitable growth condition on $H$, we prove existence of a least energy…

We consider an isoperimetric problem involving the smallest positive and largest negative curl eigenvalues on abstract ambient manifolds, with a focus on the standard model spaces. We in particular show that the corresponding eigenvalues on…

Given two Jordan curves in a Riemannian manifold, a minimal surface of annulus type bounded by these curves is described as the harmonic extension of a critical point of some functional (the Dirichlet integral) in a certain space of…

In this article we consider Q-homeomorphisms with respect to the p-modulus on the complex plane with p>2. It is obtained a lower area estimate for image of discs under such mappings. We solved the extremal problem about minimization of the…

In this article we extend several foundational results of the theory of complete minimal surfaces of finite index in the Euclidean space to minimal surfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds and, more generally, to marginally outer-trapped…

We study the number of solutions of the asymptotic Plateau problem in H^3. By using the analytical results in our previous paper, and some topological arguments, we show that there exists an open dense subset of C^3 Jordan curves in…

Consider a convex domain B of space. We prove that there exist complete minimal surfaces which are properly immersed in B. We also demonstrate that if D and D' are convex domains with D bounded and the closure of D contained in D' then any…
