Abstract
We investigate some relations concerning the first and the second Beltrami operators corresponding to the fundamental forms I, II, III of a surface in the Euclidean space E3 and we study surfaces which are of finite type in the sense of B.-Y. Chen with respect to the fundamental forms II and III.
