Abstract:This paper is the second part of our investigations on doubly connected minimal surfaces which are stationary in a boundary configuration (G, S) (\Gamma, S) in \Bbb R 3 \Bbb R ^3 . The support surface S is a vertical cylinder above a simple closed polygon P(S) P(S) in the x,y-plane. The surrounding Jordan curve G \Gamma is chosen as a generalized graph above its convex projection curve P(G) P(\Gamma) . In 23] we have proved the existence of nonparametric minimal surfaces X of annulus type spanning such boundary configurations. We study the behaviour of these minimal surfaces at the edges of the support surface S. In particular we discuss the phenomenon of edge-creeping, i. e. the fact that the free trace of X may attach to an edge of S in a full interval. We prove that a solution X cuts any intruding edge of S perpendicularly. On the other hand, we derive a condition which forces X to exhibit the edge-creeping behaviour. Depending on the symmetries of (G, S) (\Gamma, S) we give bounds on the number of edges where edge-creeping occurs. Let (x,y,Z (x,y)) (x,y,\hbox {Z} (x,y)) for (x,y) ? G (x,y)\in G be the nonparametric representation of X. Then at every vertex Q of P(S) P(S) the radial limits of Z from all directions in G exist.
