In order that a surface $ S $
with metric $ d s ^ {2} $
and Gaussian curvature $ K \leq 0 $
be locally isometric to some minimal surface $ F $
it is necessary and sufficient that (at all points where $ K < 0 $)
the metric $ d \widetilde{s} {} ^ {2} = \sqrt {- K } d s ^ {2} $
be of Gaussian curvature $ \widetilde{K} = 0 $.
There are generalizations [1], describing Riemannian metrics which arise as metrics of minimal submanifolds in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.
