  • Maximal surfaces have a prominent place in the field of differential geometry, captivating researchers with their intriguing properties. Bearing a direct analogy to the minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, investigating both their similarities and differences has long been an important issue. This paper is aimed to give a local characterization of maximal surfaces in 𝕃3 in terms of their geodesic curvatures, which is analogous to the minimal surface case presented in [8]. We present a classification of the maximal surfaces under some simple condition on the geodesic curvatures of the parameter curves in the line of curvature coordinates.

  • We show that some class of spacelike maximal surfaces and timelike minimal surfaces match smoothly across the singular curve of the surfaces. Singular Bj$\"{o}$rling representation formulae for generalized spacelike maximal surfaces and for generalized timelike minimal surfaces play important roles in the explanation of this phenomenon.

  • Theory of minimal surfaces has always been in the center of differential geometry. The most difficult part in minimal surfaces is how to find meaningful examples. In this paper we survey the history of search for minimal surfaces. We also introduce examples of recently emerging maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space and compare the processes in the search for the minimal and the maximal surfaces.

  • In this paper, we introduce a class of maximal functions along twisted surfaces in ℝn×ℝm of the form {(𝜙(|v|)u, 𝜑(|u|)v) : (u, v) ∈ ℝn×ℝm}. We prove Lp bounds when the kernels lie in the space Lq (𝕊n-1×𝕊m-1). As a consequence, we establish the Lp boundedness for such class of operators provided that the kernels are in L log L(𝕊n-1×𝕊m-1) or in the Block spaces B0,0q (𝕊n-1×𝕊m-1) (q > 1).

  • In this paper, we prove weighted norm inequalities for rough singular integrals along surfaces with radial kernels h and sphere kernels Ω by assuming h ∈ △γ(ℝ+) and Ω ∈ ����β(Sn-1) for some γ > 1 and β > 1. Here Ω ∈ ����β(Sn-1) denotes the variant of Grafakos-Stefanov type size conditions on the unit sphere. Our results essentially improve and extend the previous weighted results for the rough singular integrals and the corresponding maximal truncated operators.

  • We have calculated differential reflection coefficient for isolated well structure of micro-scale, etched on dielectric surface. The differential reflection coefficient is computed using Green's second integral theorem. The purpose of our computation is to find a class of well profiles which give maximal diffusive scattering. To have such a maximal effect, we have concluded that the waist radius of Gaussian beam and its wavelength should be comparable to the well width and that well depth has to be larger than a wavelength. Exact calculation of differential reflection coefficients of dielectric surface with isolated structure on it may be used for the examination of dielectric surfaces and also in making simple but efficient diffuser.

  • In Minkowskian 3-spacetime $L^3$ we find timelike or spacelike surface of revolution for the given Gauss curvature K = -1, 0, 1 and mean curvature H = 0. In fact, we set up the surface of revolution with the time axis for z-axis to be able to draw those surfaces on standard pictures in Minkowskian 3-spacetime $L^3$.
