Using Green's theorem we reduce the variation of the total mean curvature of a smooth surface in the Euclidean 3-space to a line integral of a special vector field and obtain the following well-known theorem as an immediate consequence: the…

In this paper are studied the nets of principal curvature lines on surfaces embedded in Euclidean $3-$space near their end points, at which the surfaces tend to infinity. This is a natural complement and extension to smooth surfaces of the…

A \emph{surface of translation} is a sum $(u,v)\mapsto\gt\alpha(u)+\gt\beta(v)$ of two space curves: a \emph{path} $\gt\alpha$ and a \emph{profile} $\gt\beta$. A fundamental problem of differential geometry and shell theory is to determine…

Of concern is the study of the space of curves in homogeneous spaces. Motivated by applications in shape analysis we identify two curves if they only differ by their parametrization and/or a rigid motion. For curves in Euclidean space the…
