A mean-convex set can be regarded as a barrier for the construction of minimal surfaces. Namely, if we are given a mean-convex set and a null-homotopic Jordan curve on its boundary, then there exists an embedded minimal disk with boundary the given curve contained in the starting mean-convex set. Does a mean-convex set…

We also demonstrate that if D and D' are convex domains with D bounded and the closure of D contained in D' then any minimal disk whose boundary lies in the boundary of D, can be approximated in an…
