Abstract
Consider a convex domain of . We prove that there exist complete minimal surfaces that are properly immersed in . We also demonstrate that if and are convex domains with bounded and the closure of contained in , then any minimal disk whose boundary lies in the boundary of can be approximated in any compact subdomain of by a complete minimal disk that is proper in . We apply these results to study the so-called type problem for a minimal surface: we demonstrate that the interior of any convex region of is not a universal region for minimal surfaces, in the sense explained by Meeks and Pérez in [9].
