We discuss existence and multiplicity of bounded variation solutions of the non-homogeneous Neumann problem for the prescribed mean curvature equation

-div$(\nabla u/\sqrt(1+|\nablau|^2))=g(x,u)+h$     in $\Omega$
-$\nablau*v/\sqrt(1+|\nablau|^2)=k$         on $\partial\Omega$
where $g(x, s)$ is periodic with respect to $s$. Our approach is variational and makes use of non-smooth critical point theory in the space of bounded variation functions.
Keywords: prescribed mean curvature equation, bounded variation function, Neumann boundary condition, Capillary surface, variational methods.
