In 1966, Jenkins and Serrin gave existence and uniqueness results for infinite boundary value problems of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space, and after that such solutions have been studied by using the univalent harmonic mapping theory. In this paper, we show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between solutions of infinite boundary value problems for minimal surfaces and those of lightlike line boundary problems for maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime. We also…

Reflection principle for lightlike line segments on maximal surfaces
• Mathematics

As in the case of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, the reflection principle for maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space asserts that if a maximal surface has a spacelike line
Extension of Krust theorem and deformations of minimal surfaces

In the minimal surface theory, the Krust theorem asserts that if a minimal surface in the Euclidean 3-space E is the graph of a function over a convex domain, then each surface of its associated
Classification of zero mean curvature surfaces of separable type in Lorentz-Minkowski space
• Mathematics

Consider the Lorentz-Minkowski \$3\$-space \$\mathbb{L}^3\$ with the metric \$dx^2+dy^2-dz^2\$ in canonical coordinates \$(x,y,z)\$. A surface in \$\mathbb{L}^3\$ is said to be separable if satisfies an
