      Since the celebrated work of Pansu with the so-called Pansu Conjecture on the Carnot-Caratheodory space, the research for Bernstein Problem arises at the historical moment. The authors study the Bernstein Problem in \(\mathcal{H}^1\) by virtue of horizontal submanifolds arguments. They derive that the class of strict graphical strips have vanishing horizontal mean curvature and is unstable. These conclusions are very interesting and have a profound message.
