We survey structure-preserving discretizations of minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. Our focus is on a discretization defined via parallel face offsets of polyhedral surfaces, which naturally leads to a notion of vanishing mean curvature…
The geometry of minimal surfaces generated by charge 2 Bogomolny monopoles on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is described in terms of the moduli parameter k. We find that the distribution of Gaussian curvature on the surface reflects the…
