Let∑be a compact,possibly with boundary,curved surface in 3-dimensional space form E3. Conside Willmore functional as to mean curvature'ssquare , where H is the mean curvature of curvedsurface cluster X:∑×(-1,1)→R3, and dAt=θ1(t)(?)θ2(t) is the volume element of it. Then using the basic theory as to variation of curved surface, we can calculate the firstvariational formula of F(t) when t = 0,F'(0) = ,where ais normal components of variational vector field (?)X/(?)t|t=0. When F'(0) = 0,we canfigure out the second variational formula of F(t), for t = 0Where hij denote the components of the second fundamental form of curved suuface X( ,0) .Specially,if we choose that∑be torus in R3 , that is0≤(?)≤2π, we obtain that the torus in R3 satisify the Euler-Lagrange equation△H+2H3-2KH=0 if and only if a/r=21/2...
