Abstract
In this paper we consider the Plateau problem for surfaces of annular type bounded by a pair of convex, non-compact curves in parallel plane s. We prove that for certain symmetric boundaries there are solutions to the non-compact Plateau problems (Theorem B). Except for boundaries consisting of a pair of parallel straight lines, these are the first known examples.
