Solving the Plateau problem means to find the surface with minimal area among all surfaces with a given boundary. Part of the problem actually consists of giving a suitable definition to the notions of 'surface', 'area' and 'boundary'. The…
In this paper, we apply the averaging method via Brouwer degree in a class of planar systems given by a linear center perturbed by a sum of continuous homogeneous vector fields, to study lower bounds for their number of limit cycles. Our…
In many astronomical problems one often needs to determine the upper and/or lower boundary of a given data set. An automatic and objective approach consists in fitting the data using a generalised least-squares method, where the function to…
In this article, we construct two one-parameter families of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a three-dimensional Lie group $\widetilde{E(2)}$, which is the universal covering of the group of rigid motions of Euclidean plane endowed…
We study nonlocal minimal surfaces as a new approximation theory for the area functional, and more specifically in the context of Yau's conjecture on the existence of minimal surfaces in closed three-dimensional manifolds. This programme…
The main objective of this paper is to derive the Enneper-Weierstrass representation of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^3$ using the soliton surface approach. We exploit the Bryant-type representation of conformally parametrized surfaces in…
In this paper we obtain the general solution to the minimal surface equation, namely its local Weierstrass-Enneper representation, by using a system of hodographic coordinates. This is done by using the method of solving the Born-Infeld…

A subspace method is introduced to solve large-scale trace ratio problems. This approach is matrix-free, requiring only the action of the two matrices involved in the trace ratio. At each iteration, a smaller trace ratio problem is…
Weierstrass representation is a classical parameterization of minimal surfaces. However, two functions should be specified to construct the parametric form in Weierestrass representation. In this paper, we propose an explicit parametric…
We prove the existence of complete minimal surfaces of genus g>1 which minimize the total curvature for their genus. Our method is first to identify this (Weierstrass high dimensional period) problem with the problem of finding a particular…
We propose an alternative condition for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the minimal surface equation that applies to non-mean convex domains. We introduce a structural condition, obtained from a second-order ordinary…
The Bandwidth Problem seeks for a simultaneous permutation of the rows and columns of the adjacency matrix of a graph such that all nonzero entries are as close as possible to the main diagonal. This work focuses on investigating novel…
In this work we present a new simple but efficient scheme - Subsquares approach - for development of algorithms for enclosing the solution set of overdetermined interval linear systems. We are going to show two algorithms based on this…
It is pointed out that despite of the non-linearity of the underlying equations, there do exist rather general methods that allow to generate new minimal surfaces from known ones.
We consider a family of compact manifolds which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter to a graph. The main result is that the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator converges to the spectrum of the (differential) Laplacian on…
We construct two one-parameter families of minimal properly embedded surfaces in the Lie group Sol3 using a Weierstrass-type representation. These surfaces are not invariant by a one-parameter group of ambient isometries. The first one can…
