Narasimham, I did not see this equation here on first read.

I see from the sketch that Del Z an arc on the sphere is about 1/3 the
arc of Del R
the arc on the pseudosphere.

It was my fault, Narasimham that I was wavering over what I wanted and
involved
area, when the question I seek does not need area at all. I was
troubled with finding
a precision clear "question to pose" and was distracted into thinking
that area was
involved.

My question should have been this --

How much of the arclength on a pseudosphere coincides in curvature
with a arclength
segment on a great-circle where the radius of pseudosphere and sphere
are identical?

So, Narasimham, how much of Del R can be fitted onto the sphere's
great-circle?
Can all of that Del R arc be equal to a great-circle in curvature?

I could still ask for an area with a "roll" function involved. So how
much of
Del R has the identical curvature of the sphere, and then to roll the
sphere
at that identical-arc-site on the pseudosphere, roll it around the
pseudosphere
spine and to obtain the area involved. Of course, I would have to
multiply by
2 because of the southern hemisphere of the pseudosphere.

Narasimham, is the maximum equal-curvature of sphere with pseudosphere
that
of 36 degrees arc? Your sketch seems to suggest it is larger than 36
degrees arc.

P.S. of course, the answer could be 0 arc on the sphere is identical
to the curvature
of any and all arcs on the pseudosphere.

There are two curvatures, k1 meridional and k2 circumferential. Gauss
curvature K = k1*k2.
If you are referring to k1 alone alone, it does not give full picture.
Never mind the lone curvature.

My sketch does not give zones where radii are equal. The sketch is
drawn to scale.
You can see that There are two curvatures k1 meridional and k2
circumferential. Gauss curvature K = k1*k2.
The radius has decreased and width has increased keeping area same
while the segment is going to a pseudospherical one from spherical
surface.

Exact dimensions are given below:

Sphere meridian end points (z, r ) for shaded area are
start ( 0.4, 0.916515 ) ; end ( 0.6, 0.8 )
Arc length of meridian = 0.231984
Area = 2 pi 1 0.2 (del Z)= 1.25664

Pseudosphere meridian end points (z, r ) for shaded area are
start ( 0.650284, 0.4) ; end ( 1.31264, 0.2 )
Arc length of meridian = 0.693147, about thrice that of sphere.
Area = 2 pi 1 0.2 (del R) = 1.25664

Cut up sphere meridian into 10 approximate conical sectors and again
circumferentially
take 3 cuts on all the segments. Now cut the, pseudosphere also
into 30 conical sectors on meridian. These represent differential
areas, they can be matched
in area by placing them side by side.

Never mind about the curvature that way.

In Bending, it is the lengths and angles between lines on surface
which remain constant.
Also curvature of lines in tangent plane known as geodesic curvature
is invariant.

These are creatures of the first fundamental form of surface theory in
classical differential
geometry.A study of the same by you , known as Isometry or in other
words compound Bending will be useful.
It is possible to apply one surface of constant K onto another,
without tearing or crumpling up.

Gauss Egregium theorem states that K = k1 * k2 is constant in such
cases.
But not a wholesale switch from +1 to -1 is permitted in isometry.

Isometry( preserving angles,lengths ) and equal area mappings are two
different
and distict things, not to be confused but regarded as different.

If area is changed as a rubber sheet, then the Gauss-Bonnet theorem
gives what the
restrictions are....

Hope you heed my suggestion to study classical differential geometry.
Good Luck in that.
