We calculate the Jacobian matrix of the dihedral angles of a generalized hyperbolic tetrahedron as functions of edge lengths and find the complete set of symmetries of this matrix.
A procedure for interpolating between specified points of a curve or surface is described. The method guarantees slope continuity at all junctions. A surface panel divided into p x q contiguous patches is completely specified by the…
In this paper we compute upper bounds for the number of ordinary triple points on a hypersurface in $P^3$ and give a complete classification for degree six (degree four or less is trivial, and five is elementary). But the real purpose is to…
In this article we study the shape of a compact surface of constant mean curvature of Euclidean space whose boundary is contained in a round sphere. We consider the case that the boundary is prescribed or that the surface meets the sphere…

In this paper we define $q$-spherical surfaces as the surfaces that contain the absolute conic of the Euclidean space as a $q-$fold curve. Particular attention is paid to the surfaces with singular points of the highest order. Two classes…
Consider a random $d$-dimensional simplex whose vertices are $d+1$ random points sampled independently and uniformly from the unit sphere in $\mathbb R^d$. We show that the expected sum of solid angles at the vertices of this random simplex…
A new formula is obtained in algebraic topology, in terms of Betti numbers, and a new method, called the spinal method, is suggested and developed for generating quadrangulations of closed orientable surfaces. Those surfaces arise as the…
In this note, we use the intersection number to determine explicitly the balanced cone of the small resolution of the quintic conifold.
We count the number of conics through two general points in complete intersections when this number is finite and give an application in terms of quasi-lines.
We consider the solid angle that a planar compact subset subtends at a point in a level set of height h and study two extremal problems for the solid angle. One of the variables is a point in such a plane, that is, we study the properties…
Consider two half-spaces $H_1^+$ and $H_2^+$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose bounding hyperplanes $H_1$ and $H_2$ are orthogonal and pass through the origin. The intersection $\mathbb{S}_{2,+}^d:=\mathbb{S}^d\cap H_1^+\cap H_2^+$ is a spherical…
We extend the $L^4$-square function estimates for the parabola and the half-cone to quadratic manifolds in higher dimensions and their conical extensions. To this end, we require transversality for the tangent spaces of the quadratic…
In this paper, we provide the upper bound and the lower bound of the sum of the number of spherical face-partition pair of simple spherical polytope $P$ with $p$ facets.
We show that a capillary surface in a solid cone, that is, a surface that has constant mean curvature and the boundary of surface meets the boundary of the cone with a constant angle, is radially graphical if the mean curvature is…
This paper studies the topology of the constant energy surfaces of the double spherical pendulum.
While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…
Controlling the shape and position of moving and pinned droplets on a solid surface is an important feature often found in microfluidic applications. However, automating them, e.g., for high-throughput applications, does rarely involve…
Surface tension tends to minimize the area of interfaces between pieces of matter in different thermodynamic phases, be they in the solid or the liquid state. This can be relevant for the macroscopic shape of very soft solids, and lead to a…
