We consider the Gaussian curvature conjecture of a minimal graph $S$ over the unit disk. First of all we reduce the general conjecture to the estimating the Gaussian curvature of some Scherk's type minimal surfaces over a quadrilateral…

We prove that one can cover the $1 \times b$ rectangle by equal squares on both sides in one layer iff $b = p \pm \sqrt{p^2 - r^2} $, where $p \ge r \ge 0$ and $p,q \in \mathbb{Q}$.

We provide an existence proof for two 1-parameter families of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces of genus three, namely the tG family with tetragonal symmetry that contains the gyroid, and the rGL family with rhombohedral symmetry…

Let $C$ be the unit circle in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We can view $C$ as a plane graph whose vertices are all the points on $C$, and the distance between any two points on $C$ is the length of the smaller arc between them. We consider a graph…

Given any set of points $S$ in the unit square that contains the origin, does a set of axis aligned rectangles, one for each point in $S$, exist, such that each of them has a point in $S$ as its lower-left corner, they are pairwise interior…

In this paper we obtain density estimates for compact surfaces immersed in R^n with total boundary curvature less than 4pi and with sufficiently small L^p norm of the mean curvature, p>2. Our results generalize the main results in [2]. We…

We show that the largest size of a collection of simple closed curves pairwise intersecting at most once on an orientable surface of Euler characteristic $\chi$ grows quadratically in $|\chi|$. This resolves a longstanding question of…
