Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding minimal graphs in $M^{n}imesmathbbR$ with general boundary conditions using a variational approach. We look at so called generalized solutions of the Dirichlet Problem that minimize a functional adapted from the area functional. We construct barriers to show that for certain conditions on our boundary data, $phi(x)$, the solutions obtain the boundary data $phi(x)$. Following Oliker-Ural'tseva we also consider solutions $u^{epsilon}$ of a perturbed mean curvature flow for $epsilon>0$. We show that there are subsequences $epsilo{n}_i$ where $u^{epsilo{n}_i}$ converges to a function $u$ satisfying the mean curvature flow, and subsequences $u(cdot,t_i)$ converge to a generalized solution $$ of the Dirichlet problem. Furthermore, $$ depends only on the choice of sequence $epsilo{n}_i$.
