We propose an alternative condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface equation that applies to non-mean convex domains. We introduce a structural condition, obtained from a second-order ordinary…

In this paper we study the non-existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for minimal graphs of codimension $\geq 2$, including certain situations over domain $\Omega$ even with non-$C^1$ boundary $\partial \Omega$.

In this paper, we propose a new assumption (1.2) that involves a small oscillation and $C^2$ norms for maps from smooth bounded domains into Euclidean spaces. Furthermore, by assuming that the domain has non-negative Ricci curvature, we…

We study the minimal surface equation in the Heisenberg space, Nil_3. A geometric proof of non existence of minimal graphs over non convex, bounded and unbounded domains is achieved (our proof holds in the Euclidean space as well). We solve…

The so called Jenkins-Serrin problem is a kind of Dirichlet problem for graphs with prescribed mean curvature that combines, at the same time, continuous boundary data with regions of the boundary where the boundary values explodes either…

This is a very brief report on recent developments on the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface system and minimal cones in Euclidean spaces. We shall mainly focus on two directions: (1) Further systematic developments after…

We study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for $f$-minimal graphs in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds $M$. $f$-minimal hypersurfaces are natural generalizations of self-shrinkers which play a crucial role in the study of mean curvature flow. In the…

Lawson and Osserman proved that the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface system is not always solvable in the class of Lipschitz maps. However, it is known that minimizing sequences (for area) of Lipschitz graphs converge to objects…
