Abstract: We establish curvature estimates and a convexity result for mean convex properly embedded $[varphi,vec{e}_3]$-minimal surfaces in $mathbb{R}^3$, i.e., $varphi$-minimal surfaces when $varphi$ depends only on the third coordinate of $mathbb{R}^3$. Led by the works on curvature estimates for surfaces in 3-manifolds, due to White for minimal surfaces, to Rosenberg, Souam and Toubiana, for stable CMC surfaces, and to Spruck and Xiao for stable translating solitons in $mathbb{R}^3$, we use a compactness argument to provide curvature estimates for a family of mean convex $[varphi,vec{e}_3]$-minimal surfaces in $mathbb{R}^3$. We apply this result to generalize the convexity property of Spruck and Xiao for translating solitons. More precisely, we characterize the convexity of a properly embedded $[varphi,vec{e}_3]$-minimal surface in $mathbb{R}^3$ with non positive mean curvature when the growth at infinity of $varphi$ is at most quadratic.
