We prove an Allard-type regularity theorem for free-boundary minimal surfaces in Lipschitz domains locally modelled on convex polyhedra. We show that if such a minimal surface is sufficiently close to an appropriate free-boundary plane, then the surface is $C^{1,\alpha}$ graphical over this plane. We apply our theorem to prove partial regularity results for free-boundary minimizing hypersurfaces, and relative isoperimetric regions.

We consider the problem to minimize n-dimensional area among currents T whose boundary (or part of it) is supposed to lie in a given hypersurface S of ℝn+1. We prove dim (sing T)≤n-7. Thus, optimal

Abstract. Continuing our papers [4]–[6] we study the global behaviour of minimal surfaces in a wedge which meet the faces of the wedge perpendicularly and are transversal to the edge. We derive a
