Local solutions to a free boundary problem for the Willmore functional
Ernst Kuwert (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg)
For a smooth bounded domain in R3, we consider the class of disk-type surfaces, which meet the boundary at a right angle and have prescribed area. For small areas, we construct critical points of the Willmore energy in that class (joint work with R. Alessandroni).
