Abstract:Plateau's problem (PP) is studied for surfaces of prescribed mean curvature spanned by a given contour in a 3-d Riemannian manifold. We consider the local situation where a neighborhood of a given point on the manifold is described by a single normal chart. Under certain conditions on H and the contour, existence of a small H -surface to (PP) is guaranteed by [HK]. The purpose of this paper is the investigation of large H -surfaces. Our result states: For sufficiently large (constant) mean curvature and a suff… Show more
