Our main result states that whenever we have a non-Euclidean norm $\|\cdot\|$ on a two-dimensional vector space $X$, there exists some $x\neq 0$ such that for every $\lambda\neq 1, \lambda>0$, there exist $y, z\in X$ verifying that…
Normal form theory is developed deeply for planar smooth systems but has few results for piecewise-smooth systems because difficulties arise from continuity of the near-identity transformation, which is constructed piecewise. In this paper,…
We give normal forms for generic k-dimensional parametric families $(Z_\varepsilon)_\varepsilon$ of germs of holomorphic vector fields near $0\in\mathbb{C}^2$ unfolding a saddle-node singularity $Z_0$, under the condition that there exists…
We study formal and analytic normal forms of radial and Hamiltonian vector fields on Poisson manifolds near a singular point.
We geometrically analyze the problem of estimating parameters related to the shape and size of a two-dimensional target object on the plane by using randomly distributed distance sensors whose locations are unknown. Based on the analysis…
A holomorphic map from the complex line to a complex projective space is called normal (a. k. a. Brody curve) if it is uniformly continuous from the Euclidean metric to the Fubini--Study metric. The paper contains a survey of known results…
Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is an important invariant of projective algebraic varieties. A well known conjecture due to Eisenbud and Goto gives a bound for regularity in terms of the codimension and degree,i.e., Castelnuovo-Mumford…
It is shown that a complex normal projective variety has non-positive Kodaira dimension if it admits a non-isomorphic quasi-polarized endomorphism. The geometric structure of the variety is described by methods of equivariant lifting and…
Using the frame formalism we determine some possible metrics and metric-compatible connections on the noncommutative differential geometry of the real quantum plane. By definition a metric maps the tensor product of two 1-forms into a…
In recent work discussing model choice for continuous-time Markov chains, we have argued that it is important that the Markov matrices that define the model are closed under matrix multiplication (Sumner 2012a, 2012b). The primary…
his paper proposes a sensible definition of a deformation metric between 2-dimensional surfaces obtained from each other by an area preserving (incompressible) mapping, and an algorithm for obtaining this metric, as well as the optimal…
We give a condition under which the findings of the paper cited above work well and determine the surfaces that were not considered before. In this paper, we show that a parallel mean curvature surface of a general type in a complex…
We prove metric rigidity for complete manifolds supporting solutions of certain second order differential systems, thus extending classical works on a characterization of space-forms. In the route, we also discover new characterizations of…
We construct normal forms for Levi degenerate hypersurfaces of finite type in $\mathbb C^2$. As one consequence, an explicit solution to the problem of local biholomorphic equivalence is obtained. Another consequence determines the…
An analogue of the total variation prior for the normal vector field along the boundary of piecewise flat shapes in 3D is introduced. A major class of examples are triangulated surfaces as they occur for instance in finite element…
The Nontrivial Projection Problem asks whether every finite-dimensional normed space of dimension greater than one admits a well-bounded projection of non-trivial rank and corank or, equivalently, whether every centrally symmetric convex…
The connected components of the zero set of any conformal vector field $v$, in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of arbitrary signature, are of two types, which may be called `essential' and `nonessential'. The former consist of points…
We show the existence of formal equivalences between reversible and Hamiltonian vector fields. The main tool we employ is the normal form theory.
Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…
We solve the problem of best approximation by partial isometries of given rank to an arbitrary rectangular matrix, when the distance is measured in any unitarily invariant norm. In the case where the norm is strictly convex, we parametrize…
