For an arc-length profile with radius
Y
(
u
)
>
0
, the equation
K
=
c
is
Y
′′
+
c
Y
=
0
,
Z

=
1
−
Y
′2
.

Thus
Y
=
A
cos
u
gives
K
=
1
locally, while
Y
=
A
cosh
u
gives
K
=
−
1
wherever
∣
Y

∣
<
1
. At
u
=
0
their mean curvatures are respectively

(
A
+
A
1
)
and
2
1
(
−
A
+
A
1
)
,
(109)
so different choices of
A
give locally noncongruent surfaces with the same constant Gaussian curvature.
