Minimal surfaces of general type in Euclidean 4-space are characterized with the conditions that the ellipse of curvature at any point is centered at this point and has two different principal axes. Any minimal surface of general type…
Two planar embedded circle patterns with the same combinatorics and the same intersection angles can be considered to define a discrete conformal map. We show that two locally finite circle patterns covering the unit disc are related by a…

We introduce a family of 3D combinatorial objects that we define as minimal 3D polyominoes inscribed in a rectanglar prism. These objects are connected sets of unitary cubic cells inscribed in a given rectangular prism and of minimal volume…
Laurent Hauswirth and Harold Rosenberg developed the theory of minimal surfaces with finite total curvature in $\H^2\times\R$. They showed that the total curvature of one such a surface must be a non-negative integer multiple of $-2\pi$.…

A discrete analogue of the holomorphic map z^a is studied. It is given by a Schramm's circle pattern with the combinatorics of the square grid. It is shown that the corresponding immersed circle patterns lead to special separatrix solutions…
This paper defines the basis of a new hierarchical framework for segmentation algorithms based on energy minimization schemes. This new framework is based on two formal tools. First, a combinatorial pyramid encode efficiently a hierarchy of…
We show how permutability of transforms of smooth surfaces with particular characteristics leads to discrete surfaces with discrete analogues of the same characteristics.
This paper proves a deformation circle pattern theorem, which gives a complete description of those circle patterns with interstices in terms of the combinatorial type, the exterior intersections angles and the conformal structures of…
We define noncommutative minimal surfaces in the Weyl algebra, and give a method to construct them by generalizing the well-known Weierstrass-representation.
A space-like surface in Minkowski space-time is minimal if its mean curvature vector field is zero. Any minimal space-like surface of general type admits special isothermal parameters - canonical parameters. For any minimal surface of…
Any finite configuration of curves with minimal intersections on a surface is a configuration of shortest geodesics for some Riemannian metric on the surface. The metric can be chosen to make the lengths of these geodesics equal to the…

For each surface besides the sphere, projective plane, and Klein bottle, we construct a face-simple minimal quadrangulation, i.e., a simple quadrangulation on the fewest number of vertices possible, whose dual is also a simple graph. Our…
The present work constitutes the third installment in a series of investigations devoted to discrete conformal structures on surfaces with boundary. In our preceding works \cite{X-Z DCS1, X-Z DCS2}, we established, respectively, a…
