A monotonicity formula for minimal sets with a sliding boundary condition

We prove a monotonicity formula for minimal or almost minimal sets for the Hausdorff measure $\cal{H}^d$, subject to a sliding boundary constraint where competitors for $E$ are obtained by deforming $E$ by a one-parameter family of functions $φ_t$ such that $φ_t(x) \in L$ when $x\in E$ lies on the boundary $L$. In the simple case when $L$ is an affine subspace of dimension $d-1$, the monotone or almost monotone functional is given by $F(r) = r^{-d} \cal{H}^d(E \cap B(x,r)) + r^{-d} \cal{H}^d(S \cap B(x,r))$, where $x$ is any point of $E$ (not necessarily on $L$) and $S$ is the shade of $L$ with a light at $x$. We then use this, the description of the case when $F$ is constant, and a limiting argument, to give a rough description of $E$ near $L$ in two simple cases. ----- On donne une formule de monotonie pour des ensembles minimaux ou presque minimaux pour la mesure de Hausdorff $\cal{H}^d$, avec une condition de bord où les compétiteurs de $E$ sont obtenus en déformant $E$ par une famille à un paramètre de fonctions $φ_t$ telles que $φ_t(x)\in L$ quand $x\in E$ se trouve sur la frontière $L$. Dans le cas simple où $L$ est un sous-espace affine de dimension $d-1$, la fonctionelle monotone ou presque monotone est donnée par $F(r) = r^{-d} \cal{H}^d(E \cap B(x,r)) + r^{-d} \cal{H}^d(S \cap B(x,r))$, où $x$ est un point de $E$, pas forcément dans $L$, et $S$ est l'ombre de $L$, éclairée depuis $x$. On utilise ceci, la description des cas où $F$ est constante, et un argument de limite, pour donner une description de $E$ près de $L$ dans deux cas simples.
