Asymptotic values of minimal graphs in a disc
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 60 (2010) no. 7, pp. 2357-2372.

We consider solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation in the open unit disc of euclidean n-dimensional space. We prove that such a solution has radial limits almost everywhere; which may be infinite. We give an example of a solution to the minimal surface equation that has finite radial limits on a set of measure zero, in dimension two. This answers a question of Nitsche.

Nous considérons les solutions de l´équation de la courbure moyenne prescrite sur le disque unité ouvert de l’espace euclidien. Nous prouvons qu’une telle solution a une limite radiale presque partout qui, éventuellement, peut-être infinie. Nous donnons l´exemple d´une solution de l´équation des surfaces minimales en dimension deux, qui admet des limites radiales finies sur un ensemble de mesure nulle. Ce travail répond à une question de Nitsche.
