Minimal surfaces
Lasovská, Anna ; Vašík, Petr (referee) ; Doupovec, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the study of minimal surfaces, which are surfaces that have the smallest surface area for a given boundary curve. In the introductory part of the thesis a correct definition of a minimal surface is derived, from which its key properties are further deducted. The text is then structured into several chapters, each dedicated to a specific type of minimal surface, while also providing detailed descriptions of the most significant minimal surfaces. The ending of the thesis provides an overview of other important minimal surfaces.

Special Surfaces
Ochodnický, Erik ; Vašík, Petr (referee) ; Doupovec, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to create an overview of special surfaces and to define their characteristics. Categories of surfaces that I found the most important are surfaces of revolution, minimal, with constant Gaussian curvature, and finally Clairaut surfaces. For every category I'll introduce, in my opinion, the most important examples of surfaces along with their parametrizations and I'll describe them. Surfaces will be accompanied by images, created in MATLAB. In the last part I'm going to focus on Clairot patches, on finding geodesics on these surfaces and their description. I'll show numerous original images of geodesics on diverse surfaces.
