In this thesis, we consider the recent definition of gravitational energy at the quasi-local level provided by Mu-Tao Wang and Shing-Tung Yau. Their definition poses a variational question predicated on isometric embedding of Riemannian surfaces into the Minkowski space; as such, there is a naturally associated Euler-Lagrange equation, which is a fourth-order system of partial differential equations for the embedding functions. We prove a perturbation result for solutions of this Euler-Lagrange equation.
