The second was the innovative approach to partial differential equations by Serge Bernstein, which led to the celebrated Bernstein's Theorem, stating that the only solution to the minimal surface equation over the whole plane is the trivial solution: a linear function.

Minimal Surfaces is the first volume of a three volume treatise on minimal surfaces Grundlehren Nr. Each volume can be read and studied independently of the others. The central theme is boundary value problems for minimal surfaces.

The first volume begins with an exposition of basic ideas of the theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, followed by an introduction of minimal surfaces as stationary points of area, or equivalently, as surfaces of zero mean curvature.

One of the main features is a new, completely elementary proof of the fact that area A and Dirichlet integral D have the same infimum in the class C G of admissible surfaces spanning a prescribed contour G. This leads to a new, simplified solution of the simultaneous problem of minimizing A and D in C G , as well as to new proofs of the mapping theorems of Riemann and Korn-Lichtenstein, and to a new solution of the simultaneous Douglas problem for A and D where G consists of several closed components.

Then basic facts of stable minimal surfaces are derived; this is done in the context of stable H-surfaces i. This monograph is based on the idea that the study of complete minimal surfaces in R3 of finite total curvature amounts to the study of linear series on algebraic curves. A detailed account of the Puncture Number Problem, which seeks to determine all possible underlying conformal structures for immersed complete minimal surfaces of finite total curvature, is given here for the first time in book form.

Several recent results on the puncture number problem are given along with numerous examples. The emphasis is on manufacturing minimal surfaces from a given Riemann surface using the theory of divisions and residue calculus.
