A tetrahedral curve is a space curve whose defining ideal is an intersection of powers of monomial prime ideals of height two. It is supported on a tetrahedral configuration of lines. Schwartau described when certain such curves are ACM,…
Metrizable spaces are studied in which every closed set is an $\alpha$-limit set for some continuous map and some point. It is shown that this property is enjoyed by every space containing sufficiently many arcs (formalized in the notion of…
Given a finite set $E$, a subset $D\sub E$ (viewed as a function $E\to \F_2$) is orthogonal to a given subspace $\FF$ of the $\F_2$-vector space of functions $E\to \F_2$ as soon as $D$ is orthogonal to every $\sub$-minimal element of $\FF$.…

A pair of distinct free homotopy classes of closed curves in an orientable surface $F$ with negative Euler characteristic is said to be length equivalent if for any hyperbolic structure on $F$, the length of the geodesic representative of…
We show that smooth curves with prescribed curvature satisfy a $C^1$-dense $h$-principle in the space of immersed curves in Euclidean space. More precisely, every $C^{\alpha \geq 2}$ curve with nonvanishing curvature in $R^{n\geq 3}$ can be…
Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…
We study the possibility of a continuous extension of a class of mappings to an isolated point on the boundary of a domain. We show that if some characteristic of this mapping is integrable on almost all spheres in the neighborhood of at…
In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be…
The set of osculating circles of a given curve in $\SS^3$ forms a curve in the set of oriented circles in $\SS^3$. We show that its "${\frac12}$-dimensional measure" with respect to the pseudo-Riemannian structure of the set of circles is…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, combinatorial graph. We define a notion of curvature on the vertices $V$ via the inverse of the resistance distance matrix. We prove that this notion of curvature has a number of desirable properties. Graphs with…
A bounded subset of a normed linear space is said to be (diametrically) complete if it cannot be enlarged without increasing the diameter. A complete super set of a bounded set $K$ having the same diameter as $K$ is called a completion of…
In this work we show that various algorithms, ubiquitous in convex optimization (e.g. proximal-gradient, alternating projections and averaged projections) generate self-contracted sequences $\{x_{k}\}_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$. As a consequence, a…
A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…
The completeness properties of spaces of immersed curves equipped with reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metrics have recently been the subject of active research. This thesis studies the metric completion of spaces of immersed open…
The Morton- or z-curve is one example for a space filling curve: Given a level of refinement L, it maps the interval [0, 2**dL) one-to-one to a set of d-dimensional cubes of edge length 2**-L that form a subdivision of the unit cube.…
A nonlocal curvature flow is introduced to evolve locally convex curves in the plane. It is proved that this flow with any initial locally convex curve has a global solution, keeping the local convexity and the elastic energy of the…
An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if \( G - S \) is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…
We give sharp bounds for the hyperbolic curvature of the level curve $|z|=|f(z)|$, when $f:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D}$ is holomorphic on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $f(0)\neq0$, as well as for other related level curves. As a consequence,…
Let $X=(V\!X,E\!X)$ be an infinite, locally finite, connected graph without loops or multiple edges. We consider the edges to be oriented, and $E\!X$ is equipped with an involution which inverts the orientation. Each oriented edge is…
