Abstract

In this paper, infinitesimal deformations which preserve the area element of a surface in (A-deformations) which also preserve the lengths of lines of curvature are studied. Here A-deformations are considered up to infinitesimal bendings (which constitute the trivial case for the problem posed). Such A-deformations are also called canonical.For regular surfaces of nonzero total curvature (without umbilic points) the problem indicated reduces to a homogeneous second order partial differential equation of elliptic type. In this paper a series of results about the existence and arbitrariness of canonical A-deformations is obtained. The basic results are valid for surfaces in the large.Bibliography: 20 titles.
