Let Ω be a bounded planar domain which is convex (although not necessarily strictly convex) with area A . We prove that, for each real number H satisfying AH 2 < ρ 2 π, with ρ = (√5 - 1)/2, there exists a graph on Ω with constant mean curvature H and boundary ∂Ω. This existence theorem is deduced as a consequence of an L ∞ estimate for compact constant mean curvature surfaces with planar boundary, in terms of the L 1 norm of a component of its Gauss map, which will be obtained in this paper.
