ABSTRACT
We consider Plateau type variational problems related to the size minimization of rectifiable currents. We realize the limit of a size minimizing sequence as a stationary varifold and a minimal set. Other examples of functionals to be minimized include the integral over the underlying carrying set of a power q of the multiplicity function, with $0 < q \leq 1$.Because minimizing sequences may have unbounded mass we make use of a more general object called a rectifiable scan for describing the limit. This concept is motivated by the possibility of recovering a flat chain from a sufficiently large collection of its slices. In case the given boundary is smooth and compact, the limiting scan has finite mass and corresponds to a rectifiable current.

We construct a rectifiable stationary 2-varifold in $${\mathbb {R}}^4$$ with non-conical, and hence non-unique, tangent varifold at a point. This answers a question of Simon (Lectures on geometric measure theory, p 243, ) and provides a new example for a related question of Allard (Ann Math (2)...

For compact Riemannian manifolds with convex boundary, B. White proved the following alternative: either there is an isoperimetric inequality for minimal hypersurfaces or there exists a closed minimal hypersurface, possibly with a small singular set. There is the natural question if a similar...

We give a new proof of Brakke's partial regularity theorem up to $$C^{1,\varsigma }$$ for weak varifold solutions of mean curvature flow by utilizing parabolic monotonicity formula, parabolic Lipschitz approximation and blow-up technique. The new proof extends to a general flow whose velocity is...

The eccentricity e(x) and the distance sum s(x) of a vertex x of a connected graph G are well-known functions which measure the centrality of the vertex x in G. The set of vertices which minimize e(x) is called the center of G and the set of vertices which minimize s(x) is known as the median....
