Motivated by the classical Euler elastic curves, David A. Singer posed in 1999 the problem of determining a plane curve whose curvature is given in terms of its position. We propound the same question in Lorentz-Minkowski plane, focusing on…
We study the relationship between the smoothness of a plane curve and that of its evolute, especially in the cases where the parent curve is no more two or three times continuously differentiable, and exhibit the same kind of apparent…
We introduce the notion of microlocal versal deformation of a plane curve. We construct equisingular versal deformations of Legendrian curves that are the conormal of a semi-quasi-homogeneous branch.
A plane curve is called strange if its tangent line at any smooth point passes through a fixed point, called the strange point. In this paper, we study $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on the complement of a rational strange curve of degree $p$ in…
Using convex integration we give a constructive proof of the well-known fact that every continuous curve in a contact $3$-manifold can be approximated by a Legendrian curve.
In this paper Legendrian graphs in $(\mathbb{R}^3,\xi_{\mathrm{st}})$ are considered modulo Legendrian isotopy and edge contraction. To a Legendrian graph we associate a (generalized) rectangular diagram --- a purely combinatorial object.…
The group PGL(3) of linear transformations of the projective plane acts naturally on the projective space parametrizing curves of a given degree. In this note we begin the study of the orbits of smooth curves under this action: we construct…
Recent studies on stability and contractivity have highlighted the importance of semi-inner products, which we refer to as pairings, associated with general norms. A pairing is a binary operation that relates the derivative of a curve's…
We construct the infinite sequence of invariants for curves in surfaces by using word theory that V. Turaev introduced. For plane closed curves, we add some extra terms, e.g. the rotation number. From these modified invariants, we get the…
The quadrature error associated with a regular quadrature rule for evaluation of a layer potential increases rapidly when the evaluation point approaches the surface and the integral becomes nearly singular. Error estimates are needed to…
We investigate helicoidal surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space whose profile curves are frontals. Using the framework of Legendre curves and framed surfaces, we establish conditions under which helicoidal surfaces generated by…
A Tangle is a smooth simple closed curve formed from arcs (or ``links'') of circles with fixed radius. Most previous study of Tangles has dealt with the case where these arcs are quarter-circles, but Tangles comprised of thirds and sixths…
In this paper, we consider a regular curve on an oriented surface in Euclidean 3-space with the Darboux frame $\{\mathsf{T},\mathsf{V},\mathsf{U}\}$ along the curve, where $\mathsf{T}$ is the unit tangent vector field of the curve,…
We introduce and study \emph{contact whirl curves} in three-dimensional Lorentzian contact manifolds, with emphasis on the Sasakian setting. This notion refines the concept of whirl curves by encoding the interaction between the adapted…
Here a new notion of fractional length of a smooth curve, which depends on a parameter $\sigma$, is introduced that is analogous to the fractional perimeter functional of sets that has been studied in recent years. It is shown that in an…
The classical Whitney formula relates the number of times an oriented plane curve cuts itself to its rotation number and the index of a base point. In this paper we generalize Whitney's formula to curves on an oriented punctured surface. To…
In this paper, we present a new explicit formula for the curvatures of a regular curve with an arbitrary parameter in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, expressed only in terms of its derivatives. We introduce also the notion of…
In this paper we investigate a time dependent family of plane closed Jordan curves evolving in the normal direction with a velocity which is assumed to be a function of the curvature, tangential angle and position vector of a curve. We…
A comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profile on the universal cover of surfaces evolving by normalised Ricci flow is proven. For any initial metric, a model comparison is constructed that initially lies below the profile of the…
We prove several interpolation results for holomorphic Legendrian curves lying in an odd dimensional complex Euclidean space with the standard contact structure. In particular, we show that an arbitrary countable set of points in…
