It is known that any maximal space-like surface without isotropic points in the four-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space with neutral metric admits locally geometric parameters which are special case of isothermal parameters. With respect to…

We construct a sequence of smooth minimizing surfaces in a sequence of metrics converging to the standard Euclidean metric, so that they have diverging $L^2$ norm of second fundamental form.

In the present paper we study normal transport surfaces in four-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$ which are the generalization of surface offsets in $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. We find some results of normal transport surfaces in…

This paper investigates minimal $n$-dimensional submanifolds in the Euclidean space that are $(n-2)$-umbilic, meaning they carry an umbilical distribution of rank $n-2$. We establish a correspondence between the class of minimal…

We prove a Bernstein-type theorem for two-valued minimal graphs in the four-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^4$. This states that two-valued functions defined on the entire $\mathbf{R}^3$, and whose graph is a minimal surface, must…

The minimal surfaces meeting in triples with equal angles along a common boundary naturally arise from soap films and other physical phenomenon. They are also the natural extension of the usual minimal surface. In this paper, we consider…

Minimal surfaces with uniform curvature (or area) bounds have been well understood and the regularity theory is complete, yet essentially nothing was known without such bounds. We discuss here the theory of embedded (i.e., without…

A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we…

In this paper we study surfaces in Euclidean 3-space that satisfy a Weingarten condition of linear type as $\kappa_1=m \kappa_2 +n$, where $m$ and $n$ are real numbers and $\kappa_1$ and $\kappa_2$ denote the principal curvatures at each…

We prove that any minimal (maximal) strongly regular surface in the three-dimensional Minkowski space locally admits canonical principal parameters. Using this result, we find a canonical representation of minimal strongly regular time-like…

In the 3-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space we prove that the sign of the Gaussian curvature of any timelike minimal surface is determined by the degeneracy and the orientations of the two null curves that generate the surface. Moreover,…

In the present paper, we discuss the singular minimal surfaces in a Euclidean 3-space R^{3} which are minimal. In fact, such a surface is nothing but a plane, a trivial outcome. However, a non-trivial outcome is obtained when we modify the…
