Description for Plateau's Problem
Paperback. There have been many wonderful developments in the theory of minimal surfaces and geometric measure theory. This book covers variational geometry. It focuses on Plateau's Problem, which is concerned with surfaces that model the behavior of soap films. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 88 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMP; PBWH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 143 x 215 x 5. Weight in Grams: 122.
There have been many wonderful developments in the theory of minimal surfaces and geometric measure theory in the past 25 to 30 years. Many of the researchers who have produced these excellent results were inspired by this little book - or by Fred Almgren himself. The book is indeed a delightful invitation to the world of variational geometry. A central topic is Plateau's Problem, which is concerned with surfaces that model the behavior of soap films.When trying to resolve the problem, however, one soon finds that smooth surfaces are insufficient: Varifolds are needed. With varifolds, one can obtain geometrically meaningful ... Read more
