In this line, we get the complete explicit classification of the rotational surfaces with mean or Gauss curvature inversely proportional to the distance from the surface to the axis of revolution. We also provide new uniqueness results on some well known surfaces, such as the catenoid or the torus of revolution, and others less well known but equally interesting for their physical applications, such as the Mylar balloon or the Flamm’s paraboloid.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Rotational surfaces}, keywords = {Principal curvatures}, keywords = {Mean curvature}, title = {Rotational surfaces with prescribed curvatures}, doi = {10.1016/j.difgeo.2025.102298}, author = {Carretero, Paula and Castro, Ildefonso}, }
