Minimal Surfaces with Planar Boundary Curves
In 1956, Shiffman [Sh] proved that any compact minimal annulus with two convex boundary curves (resp. circles) in parallel planes is foliated by convex planar curves (resp. circles) in the intermediate planes. In 1978, Meeks conjectured that the assumption the minimal surface is an annulus is unnecessary [M]; that is, he conjectured that any compact connected minimal surface with two planar con...
متن کامل1 Unstable periodic discrete minimal surfaces
In this paper we define the new alignment energy for non-conforming triangle meshes, and describes its use to compute unstable conforming discrete minimal surfaces. Our algorithm makes use of the duality between conforming and non-conforming discrete minimal surfaces which was observed earlier. In first experiments the new algorithm allows us the computation of unstable periodic discrete minima...
متن کاملBoundary Behavior of Nonlocal Minimal Surfaces
We consider the behavior of the nonlocal minimal surfaces in the vicinity of the boundary. By a series of detailed examples, we show that nonlocal minimal surfaces may stick at the boundary of the domain, even when the domain is smooth and convex. This is a purely nonlocal phenomenon, and it is in sharp contrast with the boundary properties of the classical minimal surfaces. In particular, we s...
متن کاملEmbeddedness of Minimal Surfaces with Total Boundary Curvature at Most
This paper proves that classical minimal surfaces of arbitrary topological type with total boundary curvature at most 4 must be smoothly embedded. Related results are proved for varifolds and for soap lm surfaces. In a celebrated paper N3] of 1973, Nitsche proved that if ? is an analytic simple closed curve in R 3 with total curvature at most 4, then ? bounds exactly one minimal disk M. Further...
متن کاملOn the Number of Minimal Surfaces with a given Boundary
In [TT78], Tomi and Tromba used degree theory to solve a longstanding problem about the existence of minimal surfaces with a prescribed boundary: they proved that every smooth, embedded curve on the boundary of a convex subset of R must bound an embedded minimal disk. Indeed, they proved that a generic such curve must bound an odd number of minimal embedded disks. White [Whi89] generalized thei...
