It is hereby established that, in Euclidean spaces of finite dimension, bounded self-contracted curves have finite length. This extends the main result of Daniilidis, Ley, and Sabourau (J. Math. Pures Appl. 2010) concerning continuous…

In the paper, we use $\mathrm{U}(2)$, the group of $2\times 2$ unitary matices, to parameterize the space of all self-adjoint boundary conditions for a fixed Sturm-Liouville equation on the interval $[0,1]$. The adjoint action of…

The combination of recent results due to Yu and Chen [Proc. AMS 150(4), 2020, 1749-1765] and to Bostan and Yurkevich [Proc. AMS 150(5), 2022, 2131-2136] shows that the 3-D Euclidean shape of the square Clifford torus is uniquely determined…
