Abstract: We consider the Willmore equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions for a surface of revolution obtained by rotating the graph of a positive smooth even function. We show existence of a regular solution by minimisation. Instead of minimising the Willmore functional we reformulate the problem in the hyperbolic half plane and we minimise the corresponding
Keywords: rotationally symmetric Willmore surfaces, hyperbolic half plane
