Some approach to the solution of boundary value problems for finding functions, which are analytical in a wedge, is proposed. If the ratio of the angle at the wedge vertex to a number \pi is rational, then the boundary value problem is…

We investigate complete non-orientable minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that their ends are foliated by closed lines of curvature. This condition on the ends is necessary if they have a piece inside some…
