Sharp size estimates for capillary free surfaces without gravity

Xi-nan Ma

Vol. 192 (2000), No. 1, 121–134
Abstract

For the equation of constant mean curvature with prescribed constant contact angle boundary condition, using the unique continuation of analytic function, we get a minimum principle for a combination of the solution and its gradient. Thus we get the endpoint case for P-function (Sperb, 1981) and in fact answer an open question which appeared twenty years ago in Payne & Philippin, 1977, 1979 and Sperb, 1981. As an application, sharp size and shape estimetes for capillary free surface without gravity are obtained.
