We prove an Allard-type regularity theorem for free-boundary minimal surfaces in Lipschitz domains locally modelled on convex polyhedra. We show that if such a minimal surface is sufficiently close to an appropriate free-boundary plane,…

It is proved by Brendle in [4] that the equatorial disk $D^k$ has least area among $k$-dimensional free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean ball $B^n$. By comparing the excess of free boundary minimal surfaces with the excess of the…
