Bj��rn (ruled 882���932) was the father of Olof (II) Bj��rnsson and Eric the Victorious, and he was the grandfather of Styrbj��rn the Strong, according to the Hervarar saga and Harald Fairhair's saga. According to the two sagas, he was the son of an Erik who fought Harald Fairhair and who succeeded the brothers Bj��rn at Hauge and Anund Uppsale:King ��nund had a son called Eric, and he succeeded to the throne at Upsala after his father. He was a rich King. In his days Harold the Fair-haired made himself King of Norway. He was the first to unite the whole of that country under his sway. Eric at Upsala had a son called Bj��rn, who came to the throne after his father and ruled for a long time. The sons of Bj��rn, Eric the Victorious, and Olaf succeeded to the kingdom after their father. Olaf was the father of Styrbj��rn the Strong.(Hervarar saga)The latter saga relates that he ruled for 50 years:There were disturbances also up in Gautland as long as King Eirik Eymundson lived; but he died when King Harald Harfager had been ten years king of all Norway. After Eirik, his son Bjorn was king of Svithjod for fifty years. He was father of Eirik the Victorious, and of Olaf the father of Styrbjorn. (Harald Fairhair's saga)In Olaf the Holy's saga, Snorri Sturluson quotes Thorgny Lawspeaker on king Bj��rn:My father, again, was a long time with King Bjorn, and was well acquainted with his ways and manners. In Bjorn's lifetime his kingdom stood in great power, and no kind of want was felt, and he was gay and sociable with his friends. (Saga of Olaf Haraldsson)When Bj��rn died, Olof and Eric were elected to be co-rulers of Sweden. However, Eric would disinherit his nephew Styrbj��rn.Adam of Bremen, however, only gives Emund Eriksson as the predecessor of Eric the Victorious. Since the Swedes seem to have had a system of co-rulership (Diarchy), it is probable that Emund Eriksson was a co-ruler of Bj��rn's.His name, Bj��rn, means bear in Swedish.

Bj��rn Merker (in English, often: Bjorn Merker), Swedish citizen born May 15, 1943 in Tetschen (now Czech Republic), is a neuroscientist and an independent interdisciplinary scholar educated in the USA, now living in southern Sweden.Merker studied psychology and brain science in the U.S., receiving a B.A. in psychology at Queens College of the City University of New York (1975), and a PhD in psychology and brain science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980 for work on midbrain orienting mechanisms. He then worked on oculomotor physiology in cats at UCLA and on the primary visual cortex of macaques at New York University. An interest in comparative behavioral biology led him to study song development and mirror self-recognition in gibbons, and eventually to research on the biological roots and evolutionary background of human music and language. With Nils Wallin and Steven Brown he edited the interdisciplinary volume The Origins of Music. In retirement, he continues active work on theoretical topics that include the analysis of brain macrosystems and their interaction, countercurrent modelling of cortical memory, the subcortical foundations of brain mechanisms of attention and consciousness, and the biological background to human music and language. Merker's theory is featured at online websites, such as by McGill University.

In differential geometry, the Bj��rling problem is the problem of finding a minimal surface passing through a given curve with prescribed normal (or tangent planes). The problem was posed and solved by Swedish mathematician Emanuel Gabriel Bj��rling, with further refinement by Hermann Schwarz.The problem can be solved by extending the surface from the curve using complex analytic continuation. If c ( s ) {\displaystyle c(s)} is a real analytic curve in ���3 defined over an interval I, with c ��� ( s ) ��� 0 {\displaystyle c'(s)\neq 0} and a vector field n ( s ) {\displaystyle n(s)} along c such that | | n ( t ) | | = 1 {\displaystyle ||n(t)||=1} and c ��� ( t ) ��� n ( t ) = 0 {\displaystyle c'(t)\cdot n(t)=0} , then the following surface is minimal: X ( u , v ) = ��� ( c ( w ) ��� i ��� w 0 w n ( w ) ��� c ��� ( w ) d w ) {\displaystyle X(u,v)=\Re \left(c(w)-i\int _{w_{0}}^{w}n(w)\wedge c'(w)\,dw\right)} where w = u + i v ��� �� {\displaystyle w=u+iv\in \Omega } , u 0 ��� I {\displaystyle u_{0}\in I} , and I ��� �� {\displaystyle I\subset \Omega } is a simply connected domain where the interval is included and the power series expansions of c ( s ) {\displaystyle c(s)} and n ( s ) {\displaystyle n(s)} are convergent.A classic example is Catalan's minimal surface, which passes through a cycloid curve. Applying the method to a semicubical parabola produces the Henneberg surface, and to a circle (with a suitably twisted normal field) a minimal M��bius strip.A unique solution always exists. It can be viewed as a Cauchy problem for minimal surfaces, allowing one to find a surface if a geodesic, asymptote or lines of curvature is known. In particular, if the curve is planar and geodesic, then the plane of the curve will be a symmetry plane of the surface.
