### Soap film realization of isoperimetric surfaces with boundary

#### Abstract

We examine surfaces of the type proved to be minimizing under a connectivity condition by Dorff et al. We determine which of these surfaces are stable soap films. The connectivity condition is shown to be very restrictive; few of these surfaces are stable (locally minimizing) without it.
