In this paper, the representation formula of maximal surfaces in a 3-dimensional lightlike cone Q3 is obtained by making use of the differential equation theory and complex function theory. Some particular maximal surfaces under a special induced metric are presented explicitly via the representation formula.

It is well known that complex analytic functions and harmonic functions of two real variables are closely related, so that from methods and results in complex function theory one can easily obtain theorems on those harmonic functions. This is the prototype of a relation between complex analysis and a partial differential equation (Laplace's equation in two variables). In the case of more general linear partial differential equations, one can establish similar relations.
