We consider a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3$ with sufficiently smooth boundary and prove piecewise Sobolev regularity of vector fields that have piecewise regular curl and divergence, but may be discontinuous across…

We consider the following Liouville-type equation with exponential Neumann boundary condition: $$ -\Delta\tilde u = \varepsilon^2 K(x) e^{2\tilde u}, \quad x\in D, \qquad \frac{\partial \tilde u}{\partial n} + 1 = \varepsilon \kappa(x)…

We consider the following problem: on any given complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, among all curves which have fixed length as well as fixed end-points and tangents at the end-points, minimise the $L^\infty$ norm of the curvature. We…

Throughout this paper we study the existence of irreducible curves C on smooth projective surfaces S with singular points of prescribed topological types S_1,...,S_r. There are necessary conditions for the existence of the type \sum_{i=1}^r…

Let S be a complete surface of constant curvature K = + 1 or -1, i.e. the sphere S^2 or the Lobachevskij plane L^2, and D a bounded convex subset of S. If S = S^2, assume also diameter (D) < pi/2. It is proved that the length of any…

The curvature discussed in this paper is a rather far going generalization of the Riemannian sectional curvature. We define it for a wide class of optimal control problems: a unified framework including geometric structures such as…

In this paper we study the curvature flow of a curve in a plane endowed with a minkowskian norm whose unit ball is smooth. We show that many of the properties known in the euclidean case can be extended (with due adaptations) to this new…

This is the second of two papers wherein we estimate multiscale least squares approximations of certain measures by Menger-type curvatures. More specifically, we study an arbitrary d-regular measure on a real separable Hilbert space. The…

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed convex hypersurface in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed is given by a smooth function depending only on the mean curvature, and satisfies some…

We study the problem of minimizing or maximizing the fundamental spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with either a convex potential or a ``single-well'' potential on an appropriate specified subset. (In the case of…

We find the minimal value of the length in de Sitter space of closed space-like curves with non-vanishing non-space-like geodesic curvature vector. These curves are in correspondence with closed almost-regular canal surfaces, and their…

In this paper, we study the problem of computing a homotopy from a planar curve $C$ to a point that minimizes the area swept. The existence of such a minimum homotopy is a direct result of the solution of Plateau's problem. Chambers and…

We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in $\RR^3$. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all…

We construct complete asymptotic expansions of solutions of the 1D semiclassical Schr\"odinger equation near transition points. There are three main novelties: (1) transition points of order $\kappa\geq 2$ (i.e.\ trapped points -- the…

We establish a canonical normal form for the iterates of a curved differential in curved differential algebras (CDA). This operator calculus clarifies the underlying algebraic structure of CDAs and bypasses the need for complex…

For an old problem of Euler's elastica we prove the novel global property that every planar elastica with non-constant monotone curvature is uniquely minimal subject to the clamped boundary condition. We also partly extend this unique…

In this paper, we study a class of special Lagrangian curvature potential equations and obtain the existence of smooth solutions for Dirichlet problem. The existence result is based on a priori estimates of global $C^{0}$, $C^{1}$ and…

We prove an existence theorem for the sliding boundary variant of the Plateau problem for $2$-dimensional sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The simplest case of sufficient condition is when $n=3$ and the boundary $\Gamma$ is a finite disjoint union…
