A minimal surface is the surface of smallest area of all the surfaces bounded by a closed curve in space. Its mean curvature is zero. Minimal surfaces greatly interested a few nineteenth century ...

Complex analysis and minimal surfaces constitute deeply intertwined fields that have consistently enriched each other through mutual advances in theory and application. In this context, complex ...

Mathematicians make breakthrough in understanding complex "minimal surfaces," revealing that pieces of planes, catenoids and helicoids are the building blocks of all minimal surfaces, and not merely ...

Minimal surfaces, defined informally as surfaces that locally minimise area, have long captivated both mathematicians and physicists due to their elegant geometric properties and rich analytical ...

A twisted soap bubble with a handle? Experts had thought for more than 200 years that such a structure was not even mathematically possible. But mathematician Matthias Weber of Indiana University and ...

Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau, the subject of Monday’s Google Doodle, was a man of art, science, and invention. Plateau’s interests led him in a variety of directions, from the more whimsical ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Students at the technical high school ...

Motivation from physics: soap films, bubbles Minimal surfaces and their relatives: surfaces of prescribed mean curvature, almost minimizers, horizons in general relativity. All of that in manifolds of ...

Considering soft computing, the Weierstrass data (ζ−1/2, ζ1/2) gives two different minimal surface equations and figures. By using hard computing, we give the family of minimal and spacelike maximal ...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of properly embedded minimal surfaces in ℍ2 × ℝ, taking into account the fact that there is more than one natural compactification of this space. This provides a ...
