Abstract
AbstractThe central object of this article is (a special version of) the Helfrich functional which is the sum of the Willmore functional and the area functional times a weight factor $$\varepsilon \ge 0$$

. We collect several results concerning the existence of solutions to a Dirichlet boundary value problem for Helfrich surfaces of revolution and cover some specific regimes of boundary conditions and weight factors $$\varepsilon \ge 0$$

. These results are obtained with the help of different techniques like an energy method, gluing techniques and the use of the implicit function theorem close to Helfrich cylinders. In particular, concerning the regime of boundary values, where a catenoid exists as a global minimiser of the area functional, existence of minimisers of the Helfrich functional is established for all weight factors $$\varepsilon \ge 0$$

they converge uniformly to the catenoid which minimises the surface area in the class of surfaces of revolution.
