A Laguerre minimal surface is an immersed surface in R being an extremal of the functional ∫ (H/K− 1)dA. In the present paper, we prove that any ruled Laguerre minimal surface distinct from a plane is up to motion a convolution of the helicoid x = y tan z, the cycloid r(t) = (t− sin t, 1−cos t, 0) and the Plücker conoid (ax+ by) = z(x+y) for some a, b ∈ R. To achieve invariance under Laguerre t...

We present an algorithm that covers any given rational ruled surface with two rational parametrizations. In addition, we present an algorithm that transforms any rational surface parametrization into a new rational surface parametrization without affine base points and such that the degree of the corresponding maps is preserved.

The conchoid surface G of a given surface F with respect to a point O is roughly speaking the surface obtained by increasing the radius function of F with respect to O by a constant d. This paper studies real rational ruled surfaces in this context and proves that their conchoid surfaces possess real rational parameterizations, independently on the position of O. Thus any rational ruled surface...

in this study, a generalization of the theory of involute-evolute curves is presented for ruledsurfaces based on line geometry. using lines instead of points, two ruled surfaces which are offset in the senseof involute-evolute are defined. moreover, the found results are clarified using computer-aided examples
