The w-asymmetry induced by transfinite partitions makes it impossible for Jordan curves to have an infinite length.
We construct a Jordan curve $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ so that for any rectifiable arc $\sigma$ with endpoints in distinct complementary components of $\Gamma$, $H^1(\sigma \cap \Gamma) > 0$.
The matching problem for a given Jordan curve in the complex plane asks to find two nonconstant functions, one analytic in the bounded complementary component of the curve and the other analytic in the unbounded complementary component of…
The theory of complete generalized Jordan sets is employed to reduce the PDE with the irreversible linear operator $B$ of finite index to the regular problems. It is demonstrated how the question of the choice of boundary conditions is…
We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the 2-sphere by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends…
We use the solution set of a real ordinary differential equation which has order n which is at least 2 to construct a smooth curve C in R^n. We describe when C is a proper embedding of infinite length with finite total first curvature.
Let C be a real-analytic Jordan curve in $R^3$. Then C cannot bound infinitely many disk-type minimal surfaces which provide relative minima of area.
We formulate a uniqueness conjecture for curve shortening flow of proper curves on certain symmetric surfaces and give an example of a non-flat metric on the plane with respect to which curve shortening flow is not unique. That is, with…
The square peg problem asks whether every Jordan curve in the plane has four points which form a square. The problem has been resolved (positively) for various classes of curves, but remains open in full generality. We present two new…
We give a solution of Plateau's problem for singular curves possibly having self-intersections. The proof is based on the solution of Plateau's problem for Jordan curves in very general metric spaces by Alexander Lytchak and Stefan Wenger…
Given an $n \times n$ nonsingular matrix A and the characteristic polynomial of A as the starting point, we will leverage the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem to efficiently calculate the maximal length Jordan Chains for each distinct eigenvalue of…
We prove that a Jordan $\calc^1$-curve in the plane contains any non-flat triangle up to translation and homothety with positive ratio. This is false if the curve is not $C^1$. The proof uses a bit configuration spaces, differential and…
For any locally analytic curve we show that arc length can be complexified and seen as a conformal parameter. As an application, we show that any such curve defines a unique maximal one and that the notions of analytic Jordan curve…
We prove the Jordan curve theorem by generalizing the sweepline algorithm for trapezoidal decomposition of a polygon. Our proof uses Zorn's lemma (or, equivalently the axiom of choice). Though several proofs have been given for the Jordan…
Using a definition of Jordan curve similar to that of Dieudonn\'e, we prove that our notion is equivalent to that used by Berg et al. in their constructive proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem. We then establish a number of properties of…
We study a notion of "width" for Jordan curves in $\mathbb{CP}^1$, paying special attention to the class of quasicircles. The width of a Jordan curve is defined in terms of the geometry of its convex hull in hyperbolic three-space. A…
A new elementary nonstandard proof of the Jordan curve theorem is given. The proof (the technical part consists of 4 pages) is self-contained, except for the Jordan theorem for polygons taken for granted.
Jordan analytic curves which are invariant under rational functions are studied
We develop a connection between the inscribed square problem and the question of understanding relation avoiding paths in a complex vector space. Our main theorem is that a Jordan curve with no inscribed squares would have a seemingly…
This paper concerns self-similar tilings in dimension 2. We consider the number of occurrences of a given tile in any domain bounded by a Jordan curve. For a large class of self-similar tilings, including most known examples, we give…
