A Laguerre surface is known to be minimal if and only if its corresponding isotropic map is biharmonic. For every Laguerre surfaceΦis its associated surfaceΨ=1+u2Φ, whereulies in the unit disk. In this paper, the projection of the surfaceΨassociated to a Laguerre minimal surface is shown to be biharmonic. A complete characterization ofΨis obtained under the assumption that the corresponding isotropic map of the Laguerre minimal surface is harmonic. A sufficient and necessary condition is also derived forΨto be a graph. Estimates of the Gaussian curvature to the Laguerre minimal surface are obtained, and several illustrative examples are given.

Abstract Calibrations are a possible tool to validate the minimality of a certain candidate. They have been introduced in the context of minimal surfaces and adapted to the case of the Steiner problem in several variants. Our goal is to compare the different notions of calibrations for the Steiner problem and for planar minimal partitions that are already present in the literature. The paper is then complemented with remarks on the convexification of the problem, on nonexistence of calibrations and on calibrations in families.
