Abstract

In the present study we consider generalized rotation surfaces imbedded in an Euclidean space of four dimensions. We also give some special examples of these surfaces in \({\mathbb E^4}\). Further, the curvature properties of these surfaces are investigated. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized rotation surfaces to become pseudo-umbilical. We also show that every general rotation surface is Chen surface in \({\mathbb E^4}\). Finally we give some examples of generalized rotation surfaces in \({\mathbb E^4}\).
