Abstract: We classify all surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ in Euclidean $3$-space that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are real functions of one variable. If $K=0$, we prove that the surface is a surface of revolution, a cylindrical surface or a conical surface, obtaining explicit parametrizations of such surfaces. If $Kot=0$, we prove that the surface is a surface of revolution.

Review text

This nice paper establishes two theorems not only giving a complete classification (relying on whether the Caussian curvature vanishes or not) of all separable surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature but also finding explicit parametrizations of these surfaces.
