A formula for a minimal surface, of the form
$$ \mathbf r ( u, v) = \mathop{\rm Re} \left \{ \mathbf r ( t) + i \int\limits [ \mathbf n , d \mathbf r ] \right \} , $$
where $ \mathbf r ( u, v) $ is the position vector of the minimal surface $ F $, $ \mathop{\rm Re} \{ \mathbf r ( t) \} $ is the position vector of an arbitrary non-closed analytic (with respect to $ t $) curve $ L $ on $ F $, and $ \mathbf n ( t) $ is the unit normal to $ F $ along $ L $( analytically dependent on $ t $). After integration, $ t $ is replaced by $ t = u+ iv $. This formula was established by H.A. Schwarz (1875); it gives an explicit solution to the Björling problem.
