Abstract
In this article, we classify the developable surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space R3 that are foliated by general ellipses. We show that the surface has constant Gaussian curvature (CGC) and is foliated by general ellipses if and only if the surface is developable, i.e., the Gaussian curvature G vanishes everywhere. We characterize all developable surfaces foliated by general ellipses. Some of these surfaces are conical surfaces, and the others are surfaces generated by some special base curves.
