The Eynard-Orantin invariants of a plane curve are multilinear differentials on the curve. For a particular class of genus zero plane curves these invariants can be equivalently expressed in terms of simpler expressions given by polynomials…

We classify cylindrical surfaces in the Euclidean space whose mean curvature is a $n$th-power of the distance to a reference plane. The generating curves of these surfaces, called $n$-elastic curves, have a variational characterization as…

In an equiangular spiral, "the whorls continually increase in breadth and do so in a steady and unchanging ratio... It follows that the sectors cut off by successive radii, at equal vectorial angles, are similar to one another in every…

We prove the following results: (1) For every generic closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a point with at least $6$ emanating normals to the curve. (2) For every generic closed piecewise linear curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a…

Line congruences are $2$-dimensional families of lines in $3$-space. The singularities that appear in generic line congruences are folds, cusps and swallowtails. In this paper we give a geometric description of these singularities. The main…

The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…

Elliptic divisibility sequences (EDSs) are generalizations of a class of integer divisibility sequences called Lucas sequences. There has been much interest in cases where the terms of Lucas sequences are squares or cubes. In this work,…
