Abstract

We consider two-dimensional immersions of disc-type in . We focus on well known classical concepts and study the nonlinear elliptic systems of such mappings. Using an Osserman-type condition we give a-priori estimates of the principle curvatures for graphs with prescribed mean curvature fields and derive a theorem of Bernstein type for minimal graphs.
