LINEAR WEINGARTEN SURFACES FOLIATED BY CIRCLES IN MINKOWSKI SPACE

In this work, we study spacelike surfaces in Minkowski space E(1)(3) foliated by pieces of circles that satisfy a linear Weingarten condition of type aH + bK = c, where a, b and c are constants and H and K denote the mean curvature and the Gauss curvature respectively. We show that such surfaces must be surfaces of revolution or surfaces with constant mean curvature H = 0 or surfaces with constant Gauss curvature K = 0.
