Abstract
In this paper we study surfaces in Euclidean 3-space that satisfy a Weingarten condition of linear type as , where and are real numbers and and denote the principal curvatures at each point of the surface. We investigate the possible existence of such surfaces parametrized by a uniparametric family of circles. Besides the surfaces of revolution, we prove that not exist more except the case , that is, if the surface is one of the classical examples of minimal surfaces discovered by Riemann.
