Abstract: | ![]() This paper proves that an embedded compact surface in the Euclidean space with constant mean curvature H bounded by a circle of radius 1 and included in a slab of width is a spherical cap. Also, we give partial answers to the problem when a surface with constant mean curvature and planar boundary lies in one of the halfspaces determined by the plane containing the boundary, exactly, when the surface is included in a slab. |
