A purely analytic derivation of Bonnet surfaces
Abstract
Bonnet has characterized his surfaces by a geometric condition. What is done here is a characterization of the same surfaces by two analytic conditions: (i) the mean curvature H of a surface in R3 should admit a reduction to an ordinary differential equation; (ii) this latter equation should possess the Painlev\'e property.
