Let $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be an $m$-dimensional closed submanifold of class $C^2$, $d$ be a positive integer between 1 and $m$. We will study the geometric and topological proprieties of quasiminimal sets in $\Omega$, and show that…
We show that every compactly supported smoothly calibrated integral current with connected $C^{3,\alpha}$ boundary is the unique solution to the oriented Plateau problem for its boundary data. The same holds true for compactly supported…
In this paper, we shall study the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surfaces equation. We prove some results about the boundary behaviour of a solution of this problem. We describe the behaviour of a non-converging sequence of solutions in…
The purpose of this article is to prove existence of mass minimizing integral currents with prescribed possibly non-compact boundary in all dual Banach spaces and furthermore in certain spaces without linear structure, such as injective…
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…
We study a problem of minimal surfaces with free boundary written in the form of a non convex minimization problem. Our aim is to characterize optimal solutions by finding a suitable calibration field. A natural upper bound of the infimum…

We prove existence and regularity of minimizers for H\"older densities over general surfaces of arbitrary dimension and codimension in \(\R^n \), satisfying a cohomological boundary condition, providing a natural dual to Reifenberg's…
We study a class of semilinear free boundary problems in which admissible functions $u$ have a topological constraint, or spanning condition, on their 1-level set. This constraint forces $\{u=1\}$, which is the free boundary, to behave like…
We consider a variational problem with boundary singularity and Dirichlet condition. We give a blow-up analysis for sequences of solutions of an equation with exponential nonlinearity. Also, we derive a compactness criterion under some…
Plateau's problem is not a single conjecture or theorem, but rather an abstract framework, encompassing a number of different problems in several related areas of mathematics. In its most general form, Plateau's problem is to find an…
We consider minimal hypersurfaces inside the unit ball whose boundary on the sphere is a small perturbation of the link of a minimizing quadratic cone. We show that such minimal surfaces are uniquely determined by their boundary condition.…
In this paper, we study a second order variational problem for locally convex hypersurfaces, which is the affine invariant analogue of the classical Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. We prove existence, regularity and uniqueness results…
Based on a novel type of Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequality (for generalised weakly differentiable functions on varifolds), we establish a finite upper bound of the geodesic diameter of generalised compact connected surfaces-with-boundary of…
This paper aims to propose a direct approach to solve the Plateau's problem in codimension higher than one. The problem is formulated as the minimization of the Hausdorff measure among a family of $d$-rectifiable closed subsets of $\mathbb…
In this paper, we investigate the relation between energy-minimizing torus-valued maps with prescribed singularities, the lifting problem for torus-valued maps in the space BV, and Plateau's problem for vectorial currents, in codimension…
We consider a boundary value problem involving conformable derivative of order $\alpha ,$ $1<\alpha <2$ and Dirichlet conditions. To prove the existence of solutions, we apply the method of upper and lower solutions together with Schauder's…
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'. In…
This paper studies the existence of minimal solutions to two-point boundary value problems for quasi-monotone dynamical systems. Specifically, the pointwise infimum of all supersolutions is shown to coincide with the minimal solution. This…
