Boundary behaviour of solutions of the non-parametric least area problem
Leon Simon · Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society · 1982
Previous work concerning boundary regularity of solutions of the non-parametric least area problem leaves open the question of regularity of solutions at points where the mean curvature of the boundary of the domain vanishes. We here prove that the solutions may be discontinuous at such points, even when the given boundary data is smooth. We also give a sufficient condition which will ensure continuity at such points.
