We introduce the class of Ribaucour surfaces of harmonic type (in short HR-surfaces) that generalizes the Ribaucour surfaces related to a problem posed by Élie Cartan. We obtain a Weierstrass-type representation for these surfaces which depends on three holomorphic functions. As application, we classify the HR-surfaces of rotation, present examples of complete HR-surfaces of rotation with at most two isolated singularities and an example of a complete HR-surface of rotation with one catenoid type end and one planar end. Also, we present a 5-parameter family of cyclic HR-surfaces foliated by circles in non-parallel planes. Moreover, we classify the isothermic HR-surfaces with planar lines of curvature.

In [Classes of generalized Weingarten surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, Adv. Geom.16(1) (2016) 45–55], the authors study a class of generalized special Weingarten surfaces, where coefficients are functions that depend on the support function and the distance function from a fixed point (in short EDSGW-surfaces), this class of surfaces has the geometric property that all the middle spheres pass through a fixed point. In this paper, we present a Weierstrass type representation for EDSGW-surfaces with prescribed Gauss map which depends on two holomorphic functions. Also, we classify isothermic EDSGW-surfaces with respect to the third fundamental form parametrized by planar lines of curvature. Moreover, we give explicit examples of EDSGW-surfaces and isothermic EDSGW-surfaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we show that a connected non-planar minimal surface whose asymptotic lines have the same geodesic curvature up to sign is a catenoid. As an application of this result we show that a connected non-planar minimal surface whose lines of curvature have the same geodesic curvature up to sign is a helicoid. Moreover, we show that the coordinates curves of the associate minimal surfaces to catenoid have the same geodesic curvature up to sign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
