We develop an analytic theory of existence and regularity of surfaces (given by graphs) arising from the geometric minimization problem $$\min_{\mathcal{M}}\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{M}}|\nabla_{\mathcal{M}}H|^2\,dA$$ where $\mathcal{M}$…

In this article, we construct complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mb{R}^3$ with freely prescribed genus and any number of ends greater than or equal to four. Heuristically, the surfaces are obtained by resolving finitely…

We discuss a general formula for the area of the surface that is generated by a graph $[t_0, t_1] \to \mathbb R^2$ sending $t \mapsto \bigl(x(t), y(t) \bigr)$ revolved around a general line $L: A x + B y = C$. As a corollary, we obtain a…

Controlling the shapes of surfaces provides a novel way to direct self-assembly of colloidal particles on those surfaces and may be useful for material design. This motivates the investigation of an optimal control problem for surface shape…

We propose a variational framework for accretive surface growth driven by an optimality principle. Rather than prescribing a kinetic law, the configuration at each time step is obtained, within a time-discrete setting, as the solution of a…

Rotation minimizing vector fields and frames were introduced by Bishop as an alternative to the Frenet frame. They are used in CAGD because they can be defined even the curvature vanishes. Nevertheless, many other geometric properties have…

We consider the stable ruled surface $S_1$ over an elliptic curve. There is a unique foliation on $S_1$ transverse to the fibration. The minimal self-intersection sections also define a 2-web. We prove that the 4-web defined by the…

A theorem of Laman gives a combinatorial characterisation of the graphs that admit a realisation as a minimally rigid generic bar-joint framework in $\bR^2$. A more general theory is developed for frameworks in $\bR^3$ whose vertices are…
