The least-gradient method of optimization is presented. The described method is used to compute an approximation for minimizing a global area of oriented hypersurface having a given boundary, without the necessity of providing any a priori topological information about the area minimizing surface. A successfull implementation of the described method is presented. The author obtains some first results for the case in which the boundary curve is required to lie on the surface of a convex body.
