Abstract

In this paper we shall made an analysis of Cobb-Douglas production function from the differential point of view. We shall obtain some interesting results about the nature of the points of the surface, the total curvature, the conditions when a production function is minimal and finally we give the equations of the geodesics on the surface i.e. the curves of minimal length between two points.
