Abstract

In this article, we consider a minimal graph in $R^3$ which is bounded by a Jordan curve and a straight line. Suppose that the boundary is symmetric with the reflection under a plane, then we will prove that the minimal graph is itself symmetric under the reflection through the same plane.
