The authors use Brakke's Surface Evolver (a computer program that minimizes the energy of a surface subject to constraints, see http://www.geom.umn.edu/locate/evolver) to deform a triply periodic minimal surface, the gyroid, into a continuous family of constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces with the same symmetry; some graphical images are given. They discuss stability and bifurcation problems for these surfaces. The paper is organized in seven chapters: 1. The minimal gyroid and its known CMC companions. 2. Evolution by area under a volume constraint. 3. Criticality and stability for area in CMC families. 4. Evolution of the gyroid using the energy \(\int(H-H_0)^2\). 5. Experimental setup for \(\int(H-H_0)^2\). 6. Technicalities of the evolution. 7. All CMC gyroids.
