Minimal surface is an important type of surface with zero mean curvature. It exists widely in nature. The problem of finding all minimal surfaces presented in parametric form as polynomials is discussed by many authors. However, most of the constructions are based on the theorem that a harmonic surface with isothermal parameterization is minimal. As we all know, Weierstrass representation is a classical parameterization of minimal surfaces. Therefore, in this paper, we consider to construct polynomial minimal surfaces of arbitrary degree by Weierstrass representation. Moreover, there is a correspondence between our constructed polynomial minimal surfaces and Pythagorean hodograph curves. Several numerical examples are demonstrated to illustrate our results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
