Shells, when confined, can deform in a broad assortment of shapes and patterns, often quite dissimilar to what is produced by their flat counterparts (plates). In this work we discuss the morphological landscape of shells deposited on a…
We study the a.s. convergence of a sequence of random embeddings of a fixed manifold into Euclidean spaces of increasing dimensions. We show that the limit is deterministic. As a consequence, we show that many intrinsic functionals of the…
We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…

The elliptic 2-Hessian equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that is related to intrinsic curvature for three dimensional manifolds. We introduce two numerical methods for this PDE: the first is provably…
In this paper we consider the evolution of sets by a fractional mean curvature flow. Our main result states that for any dimension $n > 2$, there exists an embedded surface in $\mathbb R^n$ evolving by fractional mean curvature flow, which…
We characterize the extendibility of the normal curvature on frontals and we give a representation formula of this type of frontals. Also we give representation formulas for wavefronts on all types of singularities and others sub classes of…
We show that the sectional curvature of a Riemannian manifold is nonnegative if, and only if, the entropy functional is matrix displacement convex. As an application we obtain intrinsic dimensional evolution variational inequalities, and…
We apply an integral formula obtained by the author for a general $G$--structure to the case of $G=G_2$. We derive an integral formula relating curvatures and some quadratic invariants of the endomorphism induced by the intrinsic torsion.…
