Abstract

In this article, we introduce a kk-th capillary area measure for capillary convex bodies in the Euclidean half-space, which serves as a boundary counterpart to the classical concept of area measure (see, e.g., \cite[Chapter 8]{Sch}). We then propose a Christoffel-Minkowski problem for capillary convex bodies, to find a capillary convex body in the Euclidean half-space with a prescribed kk-th capillary area measure. This problem is equivalent to solving a Hessian-type equation with a Robin boundary value condition. We then establish the existence and uniqueness of a smooth solution under a natural sufficient condition.
