✦ Synopsis
We establish two comparison results, between the solutions of a class of mean curvature equations and pieces of arcs of circles that satisfy the same Neumann boundary condition. Finally we present a number of examples where our estimates can be applied; some of them have a physical motivation.

There is the result of Ladyzhenskaya and Ural'ceva [3] concerning interior estimates for solutions of Dirichlet problem of prescribed mean curvature equation. Here along the line in [3] we give some boundary estimate for these solutions.
Let be either a ball or an annulus centered about the origin in N and p the usual p-Laplace operator in β ∈ 0 1 be any two radial weak solutions ofp u i = b u i + f i in . We then show that u 1 ≤ u 2 in implies u 1 < u 2 in and also that appropriate versions of Hopf boundary point principle hold.
