چکیده
In this paper, parametric polynomial minimal surfaces of degree six with isothermal parameter are discussed. We firstly propose the sufficient and necessary condition of a harmonic polynomial parametric surface of degree six being a minimal surface. Then we obtain two kinds of new minimal surfaces from the condition. The new minimal surfaces have similar properties as Enneper’s minimal surface, such as symmetry, self-intersection and containing straight lines. A new pair of conjugate minimal surfaces is also discovered in this paper. The new minimal surfaces can be represented by tensor product Bézier surface and triangular Bézier surface, and have several shape parameters. We also employ the new minimal surfaces for form-finding problem in membrane structure and present several modeling examples.

Parametric polynomial minimal surfaces of arbitrary degree
Weierstrass representation is a classical parameterization of minimal surfaces. However, two functions should be specified to construct the parametric form in Weierestrass representation. In this paper, we propose an explicit parametric form for a class of parametric polynomial minimal surfaces of arbitrary degree. It includes the classical Enneper surface for cubic case. The proposed minimal s...
متن کاملDetermination of a Matrix Function in the Form of f(A)=g(q(A)) Where g(x) Is a Transcendental Function and q(x) Is a Polynomial Function of Large Degree Using the Minimal Polynomial
Matrix functions are used in many areas of linear algebra and arise in numerical applications in science and engineering. In this paper, we introduce an effective approach for determining matrix function f(A)=g(q(A)) of a square matrix A, where q is a polynomial function from a degree of m and also function g can be a transcendental function. Computing a matrix function f(A) will be time- consu...
متن کاملDigital cohomology groups of certain minimal surfaces
In this study, we compute simplicial cohomology groups with different coefficients of a connected sum of certain minimal simple surfaces by using the universal coefficient theorem for cohomology groups. The method used in this paper is a different way to compute digital cohomology groups of minimal simple surfaces. We also prove some theorems related to degree properties of a map on digital sph...
متن کاملA Class of Quasi-Quartic Trigonometric BÉZier Curves and Surfaces
A new kind of quasi-quartic trigonometric polynomial base functions with a shape parameter λ over the space Ω=span {1, sint, cost, sint2t, cos2t} is presented, and the corresponding quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves and surfaces are defined by the introduced base functions. The quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves inherit most of properties similar to those of quartic Bézier curves...

preprint numerics no. 7/2010 norwegian university of science and technology trondheim, norway We present an algorithm for finding high order numerical approximations of minimal surfaces with a fixed boundary. The algorithm employs parametriza-tion by high order polynomials and a linearization of the weak formulation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator to arrive at an iterative procedure to evolve ...
