Abstract

We construct a sequence of compact, oriented, embedded, two-dimensional surfaces of genus one into Euclidean 3-space with prescribed, almost constant, mean curvature of the form H(X)=1+AXγH(X)=1+{A}{|X|^{-\gamma}} for X|X| large, when A<0A<0 and γ(0,2)\gamma\in(0,2). Such surfaces are close to sections of unduloids with small necksize, folded along circumferences centered at the origin and with larger and larger radii. The construction involves a deep study of the corresponding Jacobi operators, an application of the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method and some variational argument.
