Information About
This volume consists of articles on research concerning the problem of Plateau after its classical solution was given by Jesse Douglas and Tibor Rado some sixty years ago. These works provide insight and perspective on various problems associated with minimal surfaces and surfaces of prescribed mean curvature. Some of the articles explored the relationship between Analysis and Geometry with main emphasis on concepts and methods that lead to a recent account of results in Global Variational Analysis.
