Let \(L^4= \{x= (x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3)\in \mathbb{R}^4\}\) endowed with the pseudo-Riemannian inner product \(\langle x,y\rangle= -x_0y_0+\sum^3_{i=1} x_i y_i\) and \(H^3= \{x\in L^4\mid\langle x,x\rangle= -1\}\). In this paper, the authors study the geometry of surfaces of constant mean curvature one (cmc1). Content: Ribaucour transformations for linear Weingarten surfaces in space forms, families of complete cmc1 surfaces in \(H^3\). The existence of two new 3-parameter families \(F_1\), \(F_2\) of complete surfaces, immersed in \(H^3\) (with constant mean curvature 1 and infinitely many embedded horosphere type ends) is shown. Each surface of \(F_1\) is locally associated to an Enneper cousin. It has one irregular and infinitely many regular ends asymptotic to horospheres. The surfaces of \(F_2\) are locally associated to a catenoid cousin; each surface has one regular end with infinite total curvature and infinitely many embedded horosphere type ends. Theorem: For any \(c\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0,1\}\), certain cmc1 surfaces \(\widetilde X_c\), locally asssociated to a catenoid cousin in \(H^3\) by a Ribaucour transformation, are complete surfaces defined on \(\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\{p_k,k\in\mathbb{Z}\}\), where \[ p_k= \begin{cases} {1\over 2\sqrt{c}} (-A_1,\delta\pi/2-B_1+ 2k\pi),\quad &\text{if }c\geq 0,\\ {1\over 2\sqrt{-c}}(\delta\pi/2- A_2+ 2k\pi,- B_2),\quad &\text{if }c\leq 0.\end{cases} \] The authors use a constructive method.
