Abstract

Smooth solutions of the equation div{g(u)uu}=0 \rm{div}\, \Bigg\{ \frac{g'\big(|\nabla u|\big)}{|\nabla u|} \nabla u \Bigg\} = 0 are considered generating nonparametric μ\mu-surfaces in R3\mathbb{R}^3, whenever gg is a function of linear growth satisfying in addition 0sg(s)ds<. \int_0^\infty s g''(s) d s < \infty \, . Particular examples are μ\mu-elliptic energy densities gg with exponent μ>2\mu > 2 (see [1]) and the minimal surfaces belong to the class of 33-surfaces. Generalizing the minimal surface case we prove the closedness of a suitable differential form N^dX\hat{N} \wedge d X. As a corollary we find an asymptotic conformal parametrization generated by this differential form.
