We study the Dirichlet problem for the following prescribed mean curvature PDE $$ \begin{cases} -\operatorname{div}\dfrac{\nabla v}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla v|^{2}}}=f(x,v) \text{ in }\Omega\\ v=\varphi \text{ on }\partial\Omega. \end{cases} $$…

In this paper, we study the evolution of submannifold moving by mean curvature minus a external force field. We prove that the flow has a long-time smooth solution for all time under almost optimal conditions. Those conditions are that the…

In 1976, Leon Simon showed that if a compact subset of the boundary of a domain is smooth and has negative mean curvature, then the non-parametric least area problem with Lipschitz continuous Dirichlet boundary data has a generalized…

We propose a level-set method for a mean curvature flow whose boundary is prescribed by interpreting the boundary as an obstacle. Since the corresponding obstacle problem is globally solvable, our method gives a global-in-time level-set…

We discuss a special class of solutions to the minimal surface system. These are vector-valued functions that "decrease area" and are natural generalization of scalar functions. After defining area-decreasing maps, we show several classical…
