In the theory of minimal submanifolds, Bernstein''s problem and Plateau''s problem are central topics. This important book presents the DouglasRado solution to Plateau''s problem, but the main emphasis is on Bernstein''s problem and its new developments in various directions: the value distribution of the Gauss image of a minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space, Simons'' work for minimal graphic hypersurfaces, and the author''s own contributions to Bernstein type theorems for higher codimension. The author also introduces some related topics, such as submanifolds with parallel mean curvature, Weierstrass type representation for surfaces of mean curvature 1 in hyperbolic 3-space, and special Lagrangian submanifolds.This new edition contains the author''s recent work on the LawsonOsserman''s problem for higher codimension, and on Chern''s problem for minimal hypersurfaces in the sphere. Both Chern''s problem and LawsonOsserman''s problem are important problems in minimal surface theory which are still unsolved. In addition, some new techniques were developed to address those problems in detail, which are of interest in the field of geometric analysis.Readership: Researchers and graduate students in differential geometry.

Excerpt from Die Geometrisch-Optischen TauschungenWege stehen, die physiologischen Bedingungen als die primaren vorauszusetzen.Erwagt man, dass anatomische Structur und physiologische Function die psychischen Leistungen der Sinnesorgane uber haupt erst moglich machen, so wird man ohne weiteres die all gemeine Richtigkeit dieses Princips anerkennen. Der Annahme, dass dieselbe Abhangigkeit, die sich fur die allgemeinsten Functionsver haltnisse bewahrt, auch fur die besonderen Eigenschaften und Richtungen der Functionen in gewissem Masse gultig sein werde, wird man daher von vornherein Wahrscheinlichkeit zugestehen mussen, wenn auch selbstverstandlich dadurch die Untersuchung nicht der Picht enthoben wird, hierfur in jedem einzelnen Fall den empiri schen Nachweis zu erbringen.

Excerpt from Die Geometrisch-Optischen TauschungenDie Anwendung der obigen Regeln gestaltet sich nun im all gemeinen so, dass die beiden ersten meist miteinander combinirt werden mussen, wahrend die dritte insofern eine abweichende Stellung einnimmt, als sie eine bestimmte Classe von Tauschungen ausschliesslich beherrscht. Hierdurch bieten diese Tauschungen, die wir, weil sie stets in bestimmten perspectivischen Vorstellungen bestehen, die umkehrbaren perspectivischen Tauschungen nennen konnen, die gunstigsten Chancen fur die Auffindung gewisser Trug motive dar. Ihre Analyse soll daher an den Anfang dieser Unter suchung gestellt werden.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
