Your question is not so clear. The equation degree can be as big as you want. Le's take as an example the 3D space:
we have a plane surface, Ax + By + Cz = D, which is a 1st degree eq.,
or a spherical surface, x2 + y2 + z2 = D, 2nd degree eq.,
but nothing interdicts higher degree equations, e.g. Axk + Bym + Czn= D, where k, m, n, are arbitrary numbers, positive, negative, integer or fractional.
Ah, you want a minimal surface? But, minimal with respect to what? A geometrical point has surface zero. A line in the 3D space has surface zero.
Also, which type of surface, open, closed? If the surface is open, then is it limited by a certain contour? If the surface is closed, then what about the volume it surrounds?
