Abstract

We prove a version of the classical Runge and Mergelyan uniform approximation theorems for nonorientable minimal surfaces in Euclidean $3$ –space $ℝ^{3}$ . Then we obtain some geometric applications. Among them, we emphasize the following ones:

A Gunning–Narasimhan-type theorem for nonorientable conformal surfaces.
An existence theorem for nonorientable minimal surfaces in $ℝ^{3}$ with arbitrary conformal structure, properly projecting into a plane.
An existence result for nonorientable minimal surfaces in $ℝ^{3}$ with arbitrary conformal structure and Gauss map omitting one projective direction.
