Abstract In a previous paper we developed a penalty method to approximate solutions of the free boundary problem for minimal surfaces by solutions of certain variational problems depending on a parameter $\lambda $. There we showed existence and $C^2$-regularity of these solutions as well as convergence to the solution of the free boundary problem for $\lambda \to \infty $. In this paper we develop a fully discrete finite element procedure for approximating solutions of these variational problems and prove a convergence estimate, which includes an order of convergence with respect to the grid size.

Abstract We prove that the area of a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma ^2 \subset B^n$, where $B^n$ is a geodesic ball contained in a round hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^n_+$, is at least as big as that of a geodesic disk with the same radius as $B^n$; equality is attained only if $\Sigma $ coincides with such a disk. More generally, we prove analogous results for a class of conformally euclidean ambient spaces. This follows works of Brendle and Fraser–Schoen in the euclidean setting.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>By constructing explicit supersolutions, we obtain the optimal global Hölder regularity for several singular Monge-Ampère equations on general bounded open convex domains including those related to complete affine hyperbolic spheres, and proper affine hyperspheres. Our analysis reveals that certain singular-looking equations, such as <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \det D^2 u = |u|^{-n-2-k} (x\cdot Du -u)^{-k} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> with zero boundary data, have unexpected degenerate nature.</p>
