Numerical simulation of Plateau’s problem of minimal surfaces using nonvariational finite element method

– Numerical solution of Plateau’s problem of minimal surface using non-variational finite element method. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

– An efficient algorithm is proposed for the computation of minimal surfaces and numerical results are presented.

– The solutions obtained here are examined for different cases of non-linearity and are found sufficiently accurate.

– The manuscript provide the non-variational solution for Plateau’s problem. Thus it has a good value in engineering application.
