Abstract: In this paper, we study the stability of catenoids and helicoids in the hyperbolic 3-space mathbbH3. (1) For a family of spherical minimal catenoids mathcalCaa>0 in mathbbH3, there exist two constants 0<ac<al such that mathcalCa is an unstable minimal surface with index one if a<ac, mathcalCa is a globally stable minimal surface if ageqac, and mathcalCa is a least area minimal surface in the sense of Meeks and Yau if ageqal. (2) For a family of minimal helicoids in mathbbH3, there exists a constant such that is a globally stable minimal surface if , and is an unstable minimal surface with index infinity if .
