Minimal surfaces in differential geometry, surfaces with prescribed mean curvature (53A10)

Review text

The authors study minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space which are graphs over simple bounded polygonal domains and which become infinite in magnitude at the domain boundary. They call these graphs JS surfaces, based on previous literature in the field. The paper contains a beautiful construction of JS surfaces over regular \(n\)-pointed stars with vertices on concentric circles of radius 1 and \(r\). Two special families of JS surfaces are considered over star-shaped domains, with different boundary values. The authors give the parameterization for these surfaces as lifts of harmonic maps, and make some important observations about their nature.
