We study evolution of a closed embedded plane curve with the normal velocity depending on the curvature, the orientation and the position of the curve. We propose a new method of tangential redistribution of points by curvature adjusted…
In classical curve theory, the geometry of a curve in three dimensions is essentially characterized by their invariants, curvature and torsion. When they are given, the problem of finding a corresponding curve is known as 'solving natural…

The Frenet frame is generally known an orthonormal vector frame for curves. But, it does not always meet the needs of curve characterizations. In this study, with the help of associated curves of any spatial curve we obtained a new…
In accelerator physics, the concept of impedance is popularly used to describe the interactions of charged particles inside a bunch or between bunches in a train. Standard formulations of impedance assume that the driving charge has a…
We discuss some aspects of the differential geometry of curves in Minkowski space. We establish the Serret-Frenet equations in Minkowski space and use them to give a very simple proof of the fundamental theorem of curves in Minkowski space.…
We introduce the Frenet theory of curves in dual space $\d^3$. After defining the curvature and the torsion of a curve, we classify all curves in dual plane with constant curvature. We also establish the fundamental theorem of existence in…
We establish new bounds on the number of tangencies and orthogonal intersections determined by an arrangement of curves. First, given a set of $n$ algebraic plane curves, we show that there are $O(n^{3/2})$ points where two or more curves…

Analysis of the generalized Weierstrass-Enneper system includes the estimation of the degree of indeterminancy of the general analytic solution and the discussion of the boundary value problem. Several different procedures for constructing…
For a compact convex set F in R^n, with the origin in its interior, we present a formula to compute the curvature at a fixed point on its boundary, in the direction of any tangent vector. This formula is equivalent to the existing ones, but…
The analysis of curves has been routinely dealt with using tools from functional data analysis. However its extension to multi-dimensional curves poses a new challenge due to its inherent geometric features that are difficult to capture…
We survey some results on scalar curvature and properties of solutions to the Einstein constraint equations. Topics include an extended discussion of asymptotically flat solutions to the constraint equations, including recent results on the…
We establish necessary conditions for a regular curve to lie on a circular cylinder in terms of its curvature $\kappa$ and torsion $\tau$. By identifying a fundamental function $\psi = \sin^2 \alpha$, representing the squared sine of the…
A theta curve is a spatial embedding of the $\theta$-graph in the three-sphere, taken up to ambient isotopy. We define the determinant of a theta curve as an integer-valued invariant arising from the first homology of its Klein cover. When…
A method to regularize and renormalize the fluctuations of a quantum field in a curved background in the $\zeta$-function approach is presented. The method produces finite quantities directly and finite scale-parametrized counterterms at…
This article is dedicated to solving the Einstein constraint equations with apparent horizon boundaries and freely specified mean curvature. The main novelty is that we study the conformal constraint equations assuming only low regularity.
The paper derived differential equations which solve the problem of restoration the motion parameters for a rigid reference frame from the known proper acceleration and angular velocity of its origin as functions of proper time. These…

Suppose X is a (smooth projective irreducible algebraic) curve over a finite field k. Counting the number of points on X over all finite field extensions of k will not determine the curve uniquely. Actually, a famous theorem of Tate implies…
