A family of maps or flows depending on a parameter $\nu$ which varies in an interval, spans a certain property if along the interval this property depends continuously on the parameter and achieves some asymptotic values along it. We…
We show that if the gradient of $f:\RR^2\rightarrow\RR$ exists everywhere and is nowhere zero, then in a neighbourhood of each of its points the level set $\{x\in\RR^2:f(x)=c\}$ is homeomorphic either to an open interval or to the union of…
Motivated by geometry processing for surfaces with non-trivial topology, we study discrete harmonic maps between closed surfaces of genus at least two. Harmonic maps provide a natural framework for comparing surfaces by minimizing…
A subclass of complex-valued close-to-convex harmonic functions that are univalent and sense-preserving in the open unit disc is investigated. The coefficient estimates, growth results, area theorem, boundary behavior, convolution and…
We present a systematic and reliable methodology, termed hierarchical mean-field theory (HMFT), to study and predict the behavior of strongly coupled many-particle systems. HMFT is a simple approximation, based upon group theoretical…
This article establishes several remarkably simple identities relating certain metric invariants of level curves of real and complex functions. In particular, we relate lengths of level curves to their curvature and to the gradient field of…
We investigate the logarithmic convexity of the length of the level curves for harmonic functions on surfaces and related isoperimetric type inequalities. The results deal with smooth surfaces, as well as with singular Alexandrov surfaces…
We study time- and parameter-dependent ordinary differential equations in the geometric setting of vector fields and their flows. Various degrees of regularities in state are considered, including Lipschitz, finitely diferentiable, smooth,…
A sufficient condition for a cluster point of a planar harmonic function to be an asymptotic value is given, based on a partitioning into regions of constant valence. A sufficient condition for the cluster set of a planar harmonic function…
The authors lay the foundations for the study of normal families of holomorphic functions and mappings on an infinite-dimensional normed linear space. Characterizations of normal families, in terms of value distribution, spherical…
We characterize homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex space forms which arise as critical points of a higher order energy functional. As a consequence, we obtain existence and non-existence results for $\mathbb{CP}^n$ and $\mathbb{CH}^n$,…
We present some results of geometric convergence of level sets for solutions of total variation denoising as the regularization parameter tends to zero. The common feature among them is that they make use of explicit constructions of…
Harmonic functions of two variables are exactly those that admit a conjugate, namely a function whose gradient has the same length and is everywhere orthogonal to the gradient of the original function. We show that there are also partial…
A major issue in harmonic analysis is to capture the phase dependence of frequency representations, which carries important signal properties. It seems that convolutional neural networks have found a way. Over time-series and images,…
We study the problem of approximating the level set of an unknown function by sequentially querying its values. We introduce a family of algorithms called Bisect and Approximate through which we reduce the level set approximation problem to…
In this article we prove a sufficient condition of quasi-normality in higher dimension for a family of meromorphic mappings in which each pair of functions of family shares some moving hypersurfaces. We also prove a normality criterion…
In this note we prove that the level-set flow of the topologist's sine curve is a smooth closed curve. In previous work it was shown by the second author that under level-set flow, a locally-connected set in the plane evolves to be smooth,…
We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with normal velocity given by a positive power of the mean curvature. The hypersurfaces under consideration are assumed to be strictly mean convex (positive mean curvature),…
In the present work, we discuss how the functional form of thermodynamic observables can be deduced from the geometric properties of subsets of phase space. The geometric quantities taken into account are mainly extrinsic curvatures of the…
Physical systems with symmetries are described by functions containing kinematical and dynamical parts. We consider the case when kinematical symmetries are described by a noncompact semisimple real Lie group $G$. Then separation of…
