The capillary Christoffel–Minkowski problem
摘要
We introduce a capillary k-th area measure for capillary convex bodies in the Euclidean half-space, as a natural boundary analogue of the classical k-th area measure (see, e.g., [39, Chapter 8]). We then formulate the associated capillary Christoffel–Minkowski problem: given a positive density on the spherical cap, find a capillary convex body whose capillary k-th area measure coincides with the prescribed one. Analytically, the problem reduces to a fully nonlinear Hessian equation with a Robin boundary value condition. Under a natural sufficient condition, we prove the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions (up to horizontal translations).
