Abstract.
Let be a parametric variational double integral and γ ⊂ ℝn be a system of several distinct Jordan curves. We prove the existence of multiply connected, conformally parametrized minimizers of spanned in γ by solving the Douglas problem for parametric functionals on multiply connected schlicht domains. As a by-product we obtain a simple isoperimetric inequality for multiply connected -minimizers, and we discuss regularity results up to the boundary which follow from corresponding results for the Plateau problem.
