 | | Abstract: In this paper, we study a second order variational problem for locally convex hypersurfaces, which is the affine invariant analogue of the classical Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. |
 | | We prove existence, regularity and uniqueness results for hypersurfaces maximizing affine area under appropriate boundary conditions. |
