=title=
The Finite Element Approximation to the Soap Film Problems on Convex Domains
=abstract=
In this paper, we will discuss the nonlinear finite element discrete
schemes to one kind of minimal surface equations which are reduced from
soap 
film probems. The convergence property of the numerical solutions
will be proved and this method will be applied to generating the
soap film graphically later.
