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,…

We study of the shape of a compact singular minimal surface in terms of the geometry of its boundary, asking what type of {\it a priori} information can be obtained on the surface from the knowledge of its boundary. We derive estimates of…

It is well known that the only surfaces that are simultaneously minimal in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal in $\mathbb{L}^3$ are open pieces of helicoids (in the region in which they are spacelike) and of spacelike planes (O. Kobayashi 1983).…
