Abstract: In this paper we study the Plateau problem for disk-type surfaces contained in conic regions of $mathbb{R}^3$ and with prescribed mean curvature $H$. Assuming a suitable growth condition on $H$, we prove existence of a least energy $H$-surface $X$ spanning an arbitrary Jordan curve $Gamma$ taken in the cone. Then we address the problem of describing such surface $X$ as radial graph when the Jordan curve $Gamma$ admits a radial representation. Assuming a suitable monotonicity condition on the mapping $lambdamapstolambdaH(lambdap)$ and some strong convexity-type condition on the radial projection of the Jordan curve $Gamma$, we show that the $H$-surface $X$ can be represented as a radial graph.
