Abstract

Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and have vanishing first homology group.As a consequence, a nonrigidity result for such surfaces is deduced.
