Finding Mean curvature H of an intermediate isometric form

113 Views Asked by At

An undefined Frill form shown here ( schematically in appearance similar to $ z = \cos x \cosh y $ but is not its exact isometric form ).. is isometric to the catenoid and helicoid.

The Frill is symmetric about $(xz, yz) $ planes seen with 4 waves, the helicoid 2 helical turns and catenoid with repeated scrolls. $ z= f(x,y) $ in Monge form like the one pictured does not have $ K=-1$

The catenoid and helicoid inter-deformation consists of bending/twisting. The mapping and parametrization are known.

Please help find

  • parametrization of the Frill

  • and so its $H,$ with $K$ invariance.

  • and its mapping separately to arrive at the catenoid and helicoid... by pure bending and pure twisting parametrizations starting at the Frill.

  • K and H of $ z = \cos x \cosh y $ for comparison.

EDIT1:

It is required to find if the isometric variant of the Frill with same first fundamental form metric is a minimal surface $H=0 $ along with the catenoid and helicoid.
