Minimal surfaces of general type in Euclidean 4-space are characterized with the conditions that the ellipse of curvature at any point is centered at this point and has two different principal axes. Any minimal surface of general type…

Embedded minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are reasonably well understood: From far away, they look like intersecting catenoids and planes, suitably desingularized. We consider the larger class of harmonic…
We compute the minimum number of critical points of a small codimension smooth map between two manifolds. We give as well some partial results for the case of higher codimension when the manifolds are spheres.

A common numerical task is to represent functions which are highly spatially anisotropic, and to solve differential equations related to these functions. One way such anisotropy arises is that information transfer along one spatial…
Defined mathematically as critical points of surface area subject to a volume constraint, constant mean curvatures (CMC) surfaces are idealizations of interfaces occurring between two immiscible fluids. Their behavior elucidates phenomena…

This paper presents a general study of one-dimensional differentiability for functionals defined on convex domains that are not necessarily open. The local approximation is carried out using affine functionals, as opposed to linear…
A determination of the fixed components, base points and irregularity is made for arbitrary numerically effective divisors on any smooth projective rational surface having an effective anticanonical divisor. All of the results are proven…

The area distance to a convex plane curve is an important concept in computer vision. In this paper we describe a strong link between area distances and improper affine spheres. This link makes possible a better understanding of both…
