Abstract

In this paper we consider the Virtual Element discretization of a minimal surface problem, a quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation modeling the problem of minimizing the area of a surface subject to a prescribed boundary condition. We derive an optimal error estimate and present several numerical tests assessing the validity of the theoretical results.
