in the theory of infinitesimal deformations
A method which can be applied to the case when certain quantities which characterize the deformation of surfaces with positive Gaussian curvature $ K $ are, in a conjugate-isothermal parametrization, generalized analytic functions (cf. Generalized analytic function). This makes it possible to reduce the study of the deformation of surfaces with variable $ K > 0 $ to a definite problem concerning surfaces with $ K = \textrm{ const } > 0 $, whose infinitesimal deformations (cf. Infinitesimal deformation) are described by ordinary analytic functions, thus establishing a far-reaching analogy between the properties of deformations of surfaces with variable and constant positive Gaussian curvature.
