On limit value of the Gaussian curvature of the minimal surface at infinity
R. S. Akopyan Volgograd State Agricultural University
Abstract:
A lot of works on researching of solutions of equation of the minimal surfaces, which are given over unbounded domains (see, for example, [1; 2; 4–6]) in which various tasks of asymptotic behavior of the minimal surfaces were studied. In the present paper the object of the research is a study of limit behavior of Gaussian curvature of the minimal surface given at infinity. We use a traditional approach for the solution of a similar kind of tasks which is a construction of auxiliary conformal mapping which appropriate properties are studied.
Let
$z=f(x,y)$ is a solution of the equation of minimal surfaces (1) given over the domain
$D$ bounded by two curves
$L_1$ and
$L_2$, coming from the same point and going into infinity. We assume that
$f(x,y) \in C^2(\overline{D})$.
For the Gaussian curvature of minimal surfaces
$K(x,y)$ will be the following theorem.
Theorem. If the Gaussian curvature
$K(x,y)$ of the minimal surface (1) on the curves
$L_1$ and
$L_2$ satisfies the conditions
$$
K(x,y) \to 0, \quad ((x,y) \to \infty, (x,y) \in L_n) \quad n=1,2,
$$
then
$K(x,y) \to 0$ for
$(x,y)$ tending to infinity along any path lying in the domain
$D$.
