Abstract

We discuss existence, localisation, regularity, and stability issues of the bounded variation solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation \begin{equation} -{\rm div } \Big( {\nabla u}/{ \sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}}\Big) = g(x,u) \quad \hbox{\, in $\Omega$}, \end{equation} in the presence of a couple of bounded variation lower and upper solutions $\a$ and $\b$ satisfying the ordering condition $\a(x)\le \b(x)$ almost everywhere in $\Omega$. The equation is supplemented with general non-homogeneous boundary conditions, which incorporate, possibly mixed, Dirichlet, Neumann, and, seemingly for the first time in this context, Robin-type ones. Our findings are new and extend to a more general setting results previously established in the literature.
