Abstract

In this work we study a system of two second order nonlinear partial differential equations corresponding to the equations of minimal spacelike graphs in the four-dimensional Minkownski space R-1(4). We obtain a set of entire solutions of these equations, adapting the method of Karl Kommerell used for the analogous problem in R-4. In our technique we replace "graphs of holomorphic functions" by "graphs of generalized harmonic curves" and then we obtain a class of minimal spacelike surfaces in R-1(4) which are also entire graphs with non-zero Gauss curvature. We then provide two versions of the Bernstein Theorem corresponding for the two types of graphs which can occur in R-1(4). Several explicit examples are given. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
