Abstract: The principle existence theorem (i.e. Theorem 1) of "Existence and Behavior of the Radial Limits of a Bounded Capillary Surface at a Corner" (Pacific J. Math. Vol. 176, No. 1 (1996), 165-194) is extended to the case of a contact angle $gamma$ which is not bounded away from $0$ and $pi$ (and depends on position in a bounded domain $$ with a convex corner at $calO=(0,0)$). The lower bound on the size of "side fans" (i.e. Theorem 2 in the above paper) is extended to case of such contact angles for convex and nonconvex corners.

Review text

This paper, a generalization of [\textit{K. E. Lancaster} and \textit{D. Siegel}, Pac. J. Math. 176, No. 1, 165--194 (1996; Zbl 0866.76018)] deals with the behavior of solutions to the mean curvature equation with Neumann boundary condition in a neighborhood of a corner point of the boundary. The authors eliminate the requirement that the function position on the boundary is bounded away from \(0\) and \(\pi\); instead, an additional condition must be satisfied at a convex corner. The proof combines boundary regularity theory with comparison arguments in order to show that the component functions of the isothermal parametrization of the graph are uniformly continuous. A second qualitative property established in this paper follows from standard blow up arguments.
