Rational minimal surfaces

In this thesis we investigate rational minimal surfaces—a special class of minimal surfaces with finite total curvature and Enneper type ends. We define an iteration for Gauss maps and show that it can be used to produce infinitely many families of rational functions that yield rational minimal surf...
