The perturbation-limit conjecture for the minimal surface boundary value problem

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Ω\Omega be a convex domain and let α∈(0,π)\alpha\in(0,\pi). Let uu be the solution of the boundary value problem BVP 3.1, and for each ε>0\varepsilon>0 let wεw_\varepsilon be a solution of the perturbation problem BVP 3.3.

Perturbation-limit conjecture. Up to addition of a constant, the smooth solution uu is the suitable limit of the sequence of solutions wεw_\varepsilon as ε→0\varepsilon\to0.

This conjecture concerns whether the unperturbed minimal-surface boundary value problem can be obtained from the regularized problems by letting the perturbation parameter tend to zero. The source provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
