Abstract

A class of spiral minimal surfaces in E3E3 is constructed using a symmetry reduction. The reduction leads to a cubic-nonlinear ODE whose phase portrait is described using an auxiliary Riccati's equation and the Warzewski topological principle for its solutions. The new surfaces are invariant with respect to the composition of rotation and dilation. The solutions are obtained in parametric form through the Legendre and the Weierstrass representations, and also their asymptotic behaviour is described.
