Zero-curvature point of minimal graphs
Abstract
Motivated by a classical result of Finn and Osserman (1964), who proved that the Scherk surface over the square inscribed in the unit disk is extremal for the Gaussian curvature of the point (so-called \emph{centre}) of the minimal graphs above the center of unit unit disk, provided the tangent plane is horizontal, we ask and answer to the question concerned the extremal of "second derivative" of the Gaussian curvature of such graphs provided that its curvature at is zero. We prove that the extremals are certain Scherk type minimal surfaces over the regular hexagon inscribed in the unit disk, provided that the Gaussian curvature vanishes and the tangent plane is horizontal at the centre.
