摘要
This is the second in a series of two papers discussing the elementary but beautiful and fundamental question (open for some eighty years) of whether or not a minimal surface spanning a sufficiently smooth curve, which is a local minimizer, is immersed up to and including the boundary. We show that C (k) minimizers of energy or area cannot have nonexceptional boundary branch points.
