Purpose – Numerical solution of Plateau’s problem of minimal surface using non-variational finite element method. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – An efficient algorithm is proposed for the computation of minimal surfaces and numerical results are presented. Findings – The solutions obtained here are examined for different cases of non-linearity and are found sufficiently accurate. Originality/value – The manuscript provide the non-variational solution for Plateau’s problem. Thus it has a good value in engineering application.

This paper presents the numerical solution by the Galerkin Finite Element Method, on the three-dimensional Laplace and Helmholtz equations, which represent the heat diffusion in solids. For the two applications proposed, the analytical solutions found in the literature review were used in comparison with the numerical solution. The results analysis was made based on the the L2 Norm (average error throughout the domain) and L¥ Norm (maximum error in the entire domain). The two application results, one of the Laplace equation and the Helmholtz equation, are presented and discussed in order to to test the efficiency of the method.
