Citation of Tibor Radó's paper edit

I got the new information from here which would seem to be reasonably authoritative. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 17:29, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Except that it's wrong! I got my info when I entered it, from looking in the journal using JSTOR after having found it using MathSciNet. If you look at that webpage you cite, the next paper is supposedly in the same volume but one year later, which is incorrect. Volume 31 was in 1930 and Volume 32 was part of 1931. The webpage also omits that it is the Annals, second series, which I've added back. --C S (Talk) 19:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

General clean up edit

What are k and n? This seems to be a very important mathematical problem/concept but I think this article doesn't do it justice, and at the least, it doesn't completely explain itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.24.15 (talk) 09:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Multidimensional Plateau problem edit

It is my understanding that a counterexample to Fomenko's result is given by White, Brian. “Existence of Least-Area Mappings of N-Dimensional Domains.” Annals of Mathematics, vol. 118, no. 1, 1983, pp. 179–185. Eliokim (talk) 01:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
