This is an original research article, which proves two significant results in the theory of Willmore surfaces. Namely, the authors give two sharp, sufficient conditions for Willmore surfaces in Euclidean 3-space to be minimal surfaces. The main result is: Willmore graphs on bounded \(C^4\) domains with vanishing mean curvature on the boundary must be minimal graphs. The article is written in a user-friendly manner, and the proofs are explained in full detail. It is suitable for graduate students and junior researchers who are familiar with minimal and Willmore surfaces. The results contained in this article are relevant and significant to all researchers in the field.
