Closed-form minimal surface solutions

Closed-form minimal surface solutions

Differential equations, especially nonlinear differential equations, rarely have a closed-form solution, but sometimes it happens. As I wrote about a year ago It is unusual for a nonlinear PDE to have a closed-form solution, but it is not unheard of. There are numerous examples of nonlinear PDEs, equations with important physical applications, that have closed-form solutions. This post will present some closed-form solutions of the minimal surfa…
