A CHARACTERIZATION OF REGULAR SADDLE SURFACES IN THE HYPERBOLIC AND SPHERICAL THREE-SPACE DIMITRIOS E. KALIKAKIS Received 7 March 2002 We prove that the class of regular saddle surfaces in the hyperbolic or spherical three-space coincides with the class of regular surfaces with curvature not greater than the curvature of the surrounding space. We also show that a similar result for nonregular surfaces is incorrect. 1. Introduction 3 Among surfaces in a three-dimensional Euclidean space E , two classes of sur- fa
