Abstract

A linear Weingarten surface in Euclidean space R3{\bf R}^3 is a surface whose mean curvature HH and Gaussian curvature KK satisfy a relation of the form aH+bK=caH+bK=c, where a,b,cRa,b,c\in {\bf R}. Such a surface is said to be hyperbolic when a2+4bc<0a^2+4bc<0. In this paper we classify all rotational linear Weingarten surfaces of hyperbolic type. As a consequence, we obtain a family of complete hyperbolic linear Weingarten surfaces in R3{\bf R}^3 that consists into periodic surfaces with self-intersections.
