f-Harmonic maps were first introduced and studied by Lichnerowicz in \cite{Li} (see also Section 10.20 in Eells-Lemaire's report \cite{EL}). In this paper, we study a subclass of f-harmonic maps called f-harmonic morphisms which pull back…

Harmonic decomposition of surfaces, such as spherical and spheroidal harmonics, is used to analyze morphology, reconstruct, and generate surface inclusions of particulate microstructures. However, obtaining high-quality meshes of…
Biharmonic and conformal-biharmonic maps are two fourth-order generalizations of the well-studied notion of harmonic maps in Riemannian geometry. In this article we consider maps into the Euclidean sphere and investigate a geometric…

The problem of mapping the interior of a Jordan polygon univalently by the Poisson integral of a step function was posed by T. Sheil-Small (1989). We describe a simple solution using "ear clipping" from computational geometry.
