Review text

The author deals with the problem of seeking a surface subject to a boundary condition and minimizing the integral of a given integrand. Trying to generalize results of the literature to the case of divergent integrands restricted by some conditions he makes use of this literature without citing explicitly which is some difficulty to the reader. The definition of the central notion of rectifiable current given in the paper causes some questions; especially it is different from the one to be found in ``Encyclopedic dictionary of mathematics, 2nd ed. (1987; Zbl 0674.00025). As to trustworthiness, there is the chapter 24.7 called ``A result in differential geometry. This result consisting of the inequality asserted in corollary 24.7 is wrong. Obviously, the author has ignored that elements of matrices generally are not bounded by the eigenvalues. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0904.00038].
