An existence theorem for sliding minimal sets

Abstract

We prove an existence theorem for the sliding boundary variant of the Plateau problem for 22-dimensional sets in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. The simplest case of sufficient condition is when n=3n=3 and the boundary Γ\Gamma is a finite disjoint union of smooth closed curves contained in the boundary of a convex body, but the main point of our sufficient condition is to prevent the limits in measure of a minimizing sequence to have singularities of type Y\mathbb{Y} along Γ\Gamma.
