We propose a new mathematical model of groundwater flow in porous medium layered over inclined impermeable bed. In its full generality, this is a free-surface problem. To obtain analytically tractable model, we use generalized…
A metal ring removed from a soap-water solution encloses a film of soap which can be mathematically described as a minimal surface having the ring as its only boundary. This is known to everybody. In this letter we suggest a relativistic…
The equilibrium conditions impose nontrivial geometrical constraints on the configurations that a two-dimensional foam can attain. In the first place, the three centers of the films that converge to a vertex have to be on a line, i.e. all…
We define and prove the existence of unique solutions of an asymptotic Plateau problem for spacelike maximal surfaces in the pseudo-hyperbolic space of signature (2, n): the boundary data is given by loops on the boundary at infinity of the…
Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant $-\kappa^2$. Using the cone total curvature $TC(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ which was introduced…
We provide sharp stability estimates for the Alexandrov Soap Bubble Theorem in the hyperbolic space. The closeness to a single sphere is quantified in terms of the dimension, the measure of the hypersurface and the radius of the touching…
We show that for a very general and natural class of curvature functions (for example the curvature quotients $(\sigma_n/\sigma_l)^{\frac{1}{n-l}}$) the problem of finding a complete spacelike strictly convex hypersurface in de Sitter space…
We consider capillary surfaces that are constructed by bounded generating curves. This class of surfaces includes radially symmetric and lower dimensional fluid-fluid interfaces. We use the arc-length representation of the differential…
Soap bubbles can be easily generated by varies methods, while their formation process is complicated and still worth study. A model about the bubble formation process was proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 077801 recently, and it was…
Surface bubbles are an abundant source of aerosols, with important implications for climate processes. In this context, we investigate the stability and thinning dynamics of soap films under effective gravity fields. Experiments are…
In this paper, we show that small spherical soap bubbles in irreducible simply connected symmetric spaces of rank greater than one are constructed from the limits of a certain kind of modified mean curvature flows starting from small…
We prove that for $n\in \{4,5\}$, a closed aspherical $n$-manifold does not admit a Riemannian metric with positive scalar curvature. Additionally, we show that for $n\leq 7$, the connected sum of a $n$-torus with an arbitrary manifold does…
We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…
An object withdrawn from a liquid bath is coated with a thin layer of liquid. Along with the liquid, impurities such as particles present in the bath can be transferred to the withdrawn substrate. Entrained particles locally modify the…
A lattice model is used to study repulsive active particles at a planar surface. A rejection-free Kinetic Monte Carlo method is employed to characterize the wetting behaviour. The model predicts a mobility induced phase separation of active…
Video interpolation is an important problem in computer vision, which helps overcome the temporal limitation of camera sensors. Existing video interpolation methods usually assume uniform motion between consecutive frames and use linear…
Withdrawing a plate from a suspension leads to the entrainment of a coating layer of fluid and particles on the solid surface. In this article, we study the Landau-Levich problem in the case of a suspension of non-Brownian particles at…
We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces in a domain $\mathcal B$ which is either a half-space or a slab in the Euclidean space $\Bbb R^{n+1}.$ We prove that such a hypersurface $\Sigma$ is rotationally symmetric in the following…
We report on simulations of capillary filling of high-wetting fluids in nano-channels with and without obstacles. We use atomistic (molecular dynamics) and hydrokinetic (lattice-Boltzmann) approaches which point out clear evidence of the…
In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…
