    The paper is devoted to the study of variational problems involving generalized Gauss graphs. This particular class of integral currents is introduced for example in [\textit{S. Delladio}, Boll. Unione Mat. Ital., VII. Ser., B 10, No. 4, 991-1017 (1996; preceding review)]. As a special case the following problem is addressed: given a rectifiable set \(M\), find a mass minimizer among all null boundary generalized Gauss graphs of surfaces which include \(M\) as a subset.
