Sphericity and roundness are fundamental measures used for assessing object uniformity in 2D and 3D images. However, using their strict definition makes computation costly. As both 2D and 3D microscopy imaging datasets grow larger, there is…

Let $G$ be a strictly pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary $\partial G$. Let $S$ be a 2-dimensional sphere embedded into $\partial G$. Denote by $\mathcal{E}$ the set of all complex points on $S$. We study…

This paper is devoted to the study of tilt stability of local minimizers, which plays an important role in both theoretical and numerical aspects of optimization. This notion has been comprehensively investigated in the unconstrained…

For any odd $n$, we describe a smooth minimal (i.e. obtained by adding an irreducible hypersurface) compactification $\tilde S_n$ of the quasi-projective homogeneous variety $S_{n}=PGL(n+1)/SL(2)$ that parameterizes the rational normal…

We study shortest curves in proximally smooth subsets of a Hilbert space. We consider an $R$-proximally smooth set $A$ in a Hilbert space with points $a$ and $b$ satisfying $\left|{a-b}\right| < 2R.$ We provide a simple geometric algorithm…

Strongly convex sets in Hilbert spaces are characterized by local properties. One quantity which is used for this purpose is a generalization of the modulus of convexity \delta_\Omega of a set \Omega. We also show that \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}…

By employing the method of moving planes in a novel way we extend some classical symmetry and rigidity results for smooth minimal surfaces to surfaces that have singularities of the sort typically observed in soap films.

Smoothness of a function $f:{\mathbb R}^n\to {\mathbb R}$ can be measured in terms of the rate of convergence of $f\ast\rho_\varepsilon$ to $f$, where $\rho$ is an appropriate mollifier. In the framework of fractional Sobolev spaces, we…

``Rubber'' coated rolling bodies satisfy a no-twist in addition to the no slip satisfied by ``marble'' coated bodies. Rubber rolling has an interesting differential geometric appeal because the geodesic curvatures of the curves on the…

Numerical studies performed with a primitive equation model on two-dimensional sinusoidal hills show that the local velocity profiles behave logarithmically to a very good approximation, from a distance from the surface of the order of the…

We introduce a notion of rigid local system on the comple- ment of a plane curve $Y$, which relies on a canonical Waldhausen de- composition of the Milnor sphere associated to $Y$. We show that when $Y$ is weigthed homogeneous this notion…

Given a sequence $\{\mathcal{E}_{k}\}_{k}$ of almost-minimizing clusters in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which converges in $L^{1}$ to a limit cluster $\mathcal{E}$ we prove the existence of $C^{1,\alpha}$-diffeomorphisms $f_k$ between…

It is well known that any measure in S^2 satisfying certain simple conditions is the surface measure of a bounded convex body in R^3. It is also known that a local perturbation of the surface measure may lead to a nonlocal perturbation of…

Consider the problem when $X_1,X_2,..., X_n$ are distributed on a circle following an unknown distribution $F$ on $S^1$. In this article we have consider the absolute general set-up where the density can have local features such as…

It has recently been established byWang and Xia [WX] that local minimizers of perimeter within a ball subject to a volume constraint must be spherical caps or planes through the origin. This verifies a conjecture of the authors and is in…

Jammed soft matter systems are often modelled as dense packings of overlapping soft spheres, thus ignoring particle deformation. For 2D (and 3D) soft disks packings, close to the critical packing fraction $\varphi_c$, this results in an…

We investigate a one-dimensional model describing the motion of liquid drops sliding down an inclined plane (the so-called quasi-static approximation model). We prove existence and uniqueness of a solution and investigate its long time…

Mean density of lower dimensional random closed sets, as well as the mean boundary density of full dimensional random sets, and their estimation are of great interest in many real applications. Only partial results are available so far in…

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m, m\geq 2,$ of class $C^0$, the properties are studied of fields of `good directions', that is the directions with respect to which $\partial\Omega$ can be locally represented as the graph of a…

Isomorphs are curves in the thermodynamic phase diagram of invariant excess entropy, structure, and dynamics, while pseudoisomorphs are curves of invariant structure and dynamics, but not of the excess entropy. The latter curves have been…
