In this paper we are interested in the qualitative properties of the solutions to the fractional Yamabe problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ which present an isolated singularity. In particular, we prove that the Morse index of any such solution is…
We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…
We determine the splitting (isomorphism) type of the normal bundle of a generic genus-0 curve with 1 or 2 components in any projective space, as well as the (sometimes nontrivial) way the bundle deforms locally with a general deformation of…
We construct embedded ancient solutions to mean curvature flow related to certain classes of unstable minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for $n \geq 2$. These provide examples of mean convex yet nonconvex ancient solutions that are…
In this article, we develop a further adaptation of the method of Skjelbred-Sund to construct central extensions of axial algebras. We use our method to prove that all axial central extensions (with respect to a maximal set of axes) of…
We bound the condition number of the Jacobian in pseudo arclength continuation problems, and we quantify the effect of this condition number on the linear system solution in a Newton GMRES solve. In pseudo arclength continuation one…
We prove that for every smooth Jordan curve $\gamma$, if $X$ is the set of all $r \in [0,1]$ so that there is an inscribed rectangle in $\gamma$ of aspect ratio $\tan(r\cdot \pi/4)$, then the Lebesgue measure of $X$ is at least $1/3$. To do…
In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We…
This article describes the geometry of isomorphisms between complements of geometrically irreducible closed curves in the affine plane $\mathbb{A}^2$, over an arbitrary field, which do not extend to an automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^2$. We…
Although there are many simple proofs of Jordan's decomposition theorem in the literature (see [1], the references mentioned there, and [2]), our proof seems to be even more elementary. In fact, all we need is the theorem on the dimensions…
We give an affirmative answer to the rectangular peg problem for a large class of continuous Jordan curves that contains all rectifiable curves and Stromquist's locally monotone curves. Our proof is based on microlocal sheaf theory and…
The result is established for a Jordan measurable region with rectifiable boundary. The integrand F for the new plane integral to be used is a function of axis-parallel rectangles, finitely additive on non-overlapping ones, hence…
If two closed Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, then it is called a {\em touching point}. All other intersection points are called {\em crossing points}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for…
In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of the differential equation of the form . Here, we obtain some sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of periodic solutions. This equation is a quite…
Self-contractedness (or self-expandedness, depending on the orientation) is hereby extended in two natural ways giving rise, for any $\lambda\in\lbrack-1,1)$, to the metric notion of $\lambda $-curve and the (weaker) geometric notion of…
We realize a dynamical decomposition for a post-critically finite rational map which admits a combinatorial decomposition. We split the Riemann sphere into two completely invariant subsets. One is a subset of the Julia set consisting of…
Ordinary Differential Equations are derived for the adjoint Euler equations firstly using the method of characteristics in 2D. For this system of partial-differential equations, the characteristic curves appear to be the streamtraces and…
We show that a set of $n$ algebraic plane curves of constant maximum degree can be cut into $O(n^{3/2}\operatorname{polylog} n)$ Jordan arcs, so that each pair of arcs intersect at most once, i.e., they form a collection of pseudo-segments.…
We investigate a singularly perturbed, non-convex variational problem arising in materials science with a combination of geometrical and numerical methods. Our starting point is a work by Stefan M\"uller, where it is proven that the…
Initial Orbit Determination (IOD) is the classical problem of estimating the orbit of a body in space without any presumed information about the orbit. The geometric formulation of the ''angles-only'' IOD in three-dimensional space: find a…
