Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians naturally appear when one studies intrinsically "the Jacobi equations for extremals", associated with control systems and geometric structures. In this way one reduces the problem of construction of the…

Considering the tangent plane at a point to a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, we find an invariant of a pair of two tangents in this plane. If this invariant is zero, the two tangents are said to be conjugate. When the two…

We consider deformations of singular Lagrangian varieties in symplectic spaces. We show the coherence of the direct image sheaves of relative infinitesimal Lagrangian deformations. Using this result, we prove that, under some assumptions, a…

In order to analyze structure of tangent spaces of a transient orbit, we propose a new algorithm which pulls back vectors in tangent spaces along the orbit by using a calculation method of covariant Lyapunov vectors. As an example, the…

New aspects of turbulence are uncovered if one considers flow motion from the perspective of a fluid particle (known as the Lagrangian approach) rather than in terms of a velocity field (the Eulerian viewpoint). Using a new experimental…

We show that every continuous simple curve with $\sigma$-finite length has a tangent at positively many points. We also apply this result to functions with finite lower scaled oscillation; and study the validity of the results in higher…

In this note we investigate the behavior of the polar tangential angle of a general plane curve, and in particular prove its monotonicity for certain curves of monotone curvature. As an application we give (non)existence results for an…

We give the complete solution to the local diffeomorphism classification problem of generic singularities which appear in tangent surfaces, in as wider situations as possible. We interpret tangent geodesics as tangent lines whenever a…

We consider a surface embedded in the Euclidean 3-space and fix a tangential vector $v$ at a given point $p$ on the surface. In this paper, we first review a history of the formula obtained by Mannheim, d'Ocagne and Koenderink, which…

The local analysis is an established approach to the study of singularities and mobility of linkages. Key result of such analyses is a local picture of the finite motion through a configuration. This reveals the finite mobility at that…

The starting assumptions to study the convergence and complexity of gradient-type methods may be the smoothness (also called Lipschitz continuity of gradient) and the strong convexity. In this note, we revisit these two basic properties…
