Richmond surface for m=2.

In differential geometry, a Richmond surface is a minimal surface first described by Herbert William Richmond in 1904. [1] It is a family of surfaces with one planar end and one Enneper surface-like self-intersecting end.

It has Weierstrass–Enneper parameterization f(z)=1/zm,g(z)=zm. This allows a parametrization based on a complex parameter as

X(z)=[(1/2z)z2m+1/(4m+2)]Y(z)=[(i/2z)+iz2m+1/(4m+2)]Z(z)=[zn/n]

The associate family of the surface is just the surface rotated around the z-axis.

Taking m = 2 a real parametric expression becomes:[2]

X(u,v)=(1/3)u3uv2+uu2+v2Y(u,v)=u2v+(1/3)v3uu2+v2Z(u,v)=2u
