Plateau's problem is to show the existence of an area minimizing surface with a given boundary, a problem posed by Lagrange in 1760. Experiments conducted by Plateau showed that an area minimizing surface can be obtained in the form of a…

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…

We construct a $3$-dimensional area minimizing current $T$ in $\mathbb{R}^5$ whose boundary contains a real analytic surface of multiplicity $2$ at which $T$ has a density $1$ essential boundary singularity with a flat tangent cone. This…

In this paper we show that, if $T$ is an area-minimizing $2$-dimensional integral current with $\partial T = Q [\![ \Gamma ]\!]$, where $\Gamma$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ curve for $\alpha>0$ and $Q$ an arbitrary integer, then $T$ has a unique…

We introduce a diffused interface formulation of the Plateau problem, where the Allen--Cahn energy $\mathcal{AC}_\varepsilon$ is minimized under a volume constraint $v$ and a spanning condition on the level sets of the densities. We discuss…

Plateau problems with elastic boundary energies have been of recent theoretical and applied interest. However, strong assumptions have to be made to avoid self-intersections of the boundary curve during energy minimization. We introduce a…
