Abstract

For graph mappings constructed from contact mappings of arbitrary two-step Carnot groups, conditions for the correct formulation of minimal surfaces’ problem are found. A suitable notion of the (sub-Riemannian) area functional increment is introduced, differentiability of this functional is proved, and necessary minimality conditions are deduced. They are also expressed in terms of sub-Riemaninan mean curvature.
