We study the questions of how to recognize when a simplicial set X is of the form X=map(Y,A) for a given space A, and how to recover Y from X, if so. A full answer is provided when A=K(R,n), for $R=\mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Q}$, in terms of…

We investigate the problem of finding smooth hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space, which can be represented as radial graphs over a subdomain of the upper hemisphere. Our approach is variational and our main results…

This paper presents a general method for obtaining radius of the corresponding circumference to a cyclical polygon $n$ sides given the lengths of said sides, using the notion of complex number. As of radius $r$, obtained, can then be…

The squircle is an intermediate shape between the square and the circle. In this paper, we examine and discuss equations for different types of squircles. We then build upon these 2D shapes to come-up with various 3D surfaces based on…
