i
The first variation of the graph area functional is
dtd​A(u+tϕ)​t=0​=∫B1​​1+∣Du∣2​Du⋅Dϕ​.
(1)
Thus the minimal surface equation for a graph is
div1+∣Du∣2​Du​=0,
(2)
or, in nondivergence form,
(δij​−1+∣Du∣2Di​uDj​u​)Dij​u=0.​
(3)
Differentiate the divergence equation with respect to xk​. Then w=Dk​u satisfies
Di​(aij(Du)Dj​w)=0,
(4)
where
aij(p)=1+∣p∣2​δij​​−(1+∣p∣2)3/2pi​pj​​.​
(5)
