Abstract

Unstable minimal surfaces are the unstable stationary points of the Dirichlet integral. In order to obtain unstable solutions, the method of the gradient flow together with the minimax- principle is generally used, an application of which was presented in (19) for minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. We extend this theory to obtain unstable minimal surfaces in Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we consider minimal surfaces of annulus type.
