Minimal Surface Linear Combinatoin Theorem

Publication date 23 October 2006

Abstract: Given two univalent harmonic mappings

f_{1}

and

f_{2}

on

m a t h b b D

, which lift to minimal surfaces via the Weierstrass-Enneper representation theorem, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for

f_{3} = (1 - s) f_{1} + s f_{2}

to lift to a minimal surface for

s i n [0, 1]

. We then construct such mappings from Enneper's surface to Scherk's singularly periodic surface, Sckerk's doubly periodic surface to the catenoid, and the 4-Enneper surface to the 4-noid.
