In this paper, we analyze ends of zero mean curvature surfaces of mixed (or non-mixed) type in the Lorentzian 3-space π2,1. Among these, we show that spacelike or timelike planar ends are πΆβ in the compactification \hat{πΏ} of π2,1 as in the case of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space π3. On the other hand, lightlike planar ends are not πΆβ. Each lightlike planar end of a mixed type surface has the following additional parts: the converging part (a lightlike line in π2,1), the diverging part (the set of the points in \hat{πΏ} β π2,1 corresponding to zero-divisors), and the border of these two parts. We show that such an end is πΆβ on the first two parts almost everywhere, while there appears an isolated singularity in the form of (π₯3, π₯π + βhigher order termsβ, π) on the border. We also show that conelike singularities of mixed type appear on the lightlike lines in special cases.
