We construct three kinds of complete embedded singly-periodic minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2{\times}\mathbb{R}$. The first one is a 1-parameter family of minimal surfaces which is asymptotic to a horizontal plane and a vertical plane; the second one is a 2-parameter family of minimal surfaces which has a fundamental piece of finite total curvature and is asymptotic to a finite number of vertical planes; the last one is a 2-parameter family of minimal surfaces which fill $\mathbb{H}^2{\times}\mathbb{R}$ by finite Scherk's towers.

In the recent papers, S'anchez-Reyes [Appl. Math. Model. 40 (2016), 1676-1682] described the method for finding a minimal surface through a geodesic, and Li et al. [Appl. Math. Model. 37 (2013), 6415-6424] studied the approximation of minimal surfaces with a geodesic from Dirichlet function. In the present article, we consider an isoparametric surface generated by Frenet frame of a curve introduced by Wang et al. [Comput. Aided Des. 36 (2004), 447-459], and give the necessary and sufficient condition to satisfy both geodesic of the curve and minimality of the surface. From this, we construct minimal surfaces in terms of constant curvature and torsion of the curve. As a result, we present a new approach for constructions of the minimal surfaces from a prescribed closed geodesic and unclosed geodesic, and show some new examples of minimal surfaces with a circle and a helix as a geodesic. Our approach can be used in design of minimal surfaces from geodesics.

We show that some class of spacelike maximal surfaces and timelike minimal surfaces match smoothly across the singular curve of the surfaces. Singular Bj$\"{o}$rling representation formulae for generalized spacelike maximal surfaces and for generalized timelike minimal surfaces play important roles in the explanation of this phenomenon.

극소곡면은 고전미분기하학의 꽃이며 현대에 이르기까지 기하학의 중심을 이루고 있다. 이러한 극소곡면 이론에서 가장 어려운 부분이라고 할 수 있는 극소곡면의 발견 과정을 역사적으로 조명하여 보고 이를 통하여 극소곡면 이론을 소개한다. 한편 최근에 들어 연구가 시작된 로렌츠-민코프스키 공간의 극대곡면의 예를 소개하고 극소곡면 발견 과정과 비교 연구한다.

We show that an umbilic-free minimal surface in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ belongs to the associate family of the catenoid if and only if the geodesic curvatures of its lines of curvature have a constant ratio. As a corollary, the helicoid is shown to be the unique umbilic-free minimal surface whose lines of curvature have the same geodesic curvature. A similar characterization of the deformation family of minimal surfaces with planar lines of curvature is also given.

In this article, we prove that a properly embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of genus zero must be one of Riemann's minimal examples if outside of a solid cylinder it is the union of planar ends with the same torques at all integer heights.

Using the complex parabolic rotations of holomorphic null curves in ℂ⁴ we transform minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ³ to a family of degenerate minimal surfaces in Euclidean space ℝ⁴. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by helicoids in ℝ³, we discover new minimal surfaces in ℝ⁴ foliated by hyperbolas or straight lines. Applying our deformation to holomorphic null curves in ℂ³ induced by catenoids in ℝ³, we rediscover the Hoffman-Osserman catenoids in ℝ⁴ foliated by ellipses or circles.

In this paper, we estimate the total curvature of non-parametric minimal surfaces by using the properties of univalent harmonic mappings defined on ${\Delta}=\{z:{\mid}z:{\mid}>1\}$.

In this article we consider axes of a complete embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of finite total curvature, and then prove that there is no planar ends at which the Gauss map have the minimum branching order if the minimal surface has a single axis.
