May 6, 2023 at 15:10 comment added Agelos @LeoMoos: Yes, the reference is J. Douglas, SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF PLATEAU. The second sentence reads "This memoir presents the first solution of this problem for the most general kind of contour: an arbitrary Jordan curve in n-dimensional euclidean space. " I'm removing the confusing reference to Rado in the question, as Rado assumed rectifiability.
May 5, 2023 at 18:48 comment added Leo Moos @Agelos Are you sure that the Plateau problem is well-defined if you do not assume any sort of regularity of the curves, not even rectifiability?
Apr 26, 2023 at 6:39 comment added Daniel Asimov That is not a useful reference, since it does not provide the exact statement of the theorem.

Apr 26, 2023 at 6:16 comment added Agelos @DanielAsimov: See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateau%27s_problem. This is the classical problem of Plateau, for the solution of which Douglas was awarded one of the first Fields medals.
Apr 25, 2023 at 19:26 comment added Daniel Asimov Can you please provide a reference for the theorem of Douglas/Rado?
