Then we present a new two-parameter family of immersed helicoidal surfaces that rotate/translate with constant velocity under the flow. We look at their limiting behaviour as the pitch of the helicoidal motion goes to 0 and compare it with the limiting behaviour of the classical helicoidal minimal surfaces. Finally, we give a classification of the immersed cylinders in the family of constant mean curvature helicoidal surfaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-12-14T00:47:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "53A10", "53C42" ], "keywords": [ "mean curvature flow", "helicoidal surfaces rotating/translating", "constant mean curvature helicoidal surfaces", "limiting behaviour", "classical helicoidal minimal surfaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.4583H" } } }
