Let a non-planar non-self-intersecting closed polygon in three dimensions P  be given, say
with(plots): with(plottools):
P := polygon([[0, 1, 1], [1, -1, 2], [3, 0, 5], [1, 1, 1]]):
How to find the minimal surface  with the boundary P?
There is no chance to find the solution as a closed-form expression.
Thus, the numerical solution (or/and a triangulation which approximates the minimal surface up to the given accuracy) is required.
