We introduce the natural notion of (p,q)-harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds. This unifies several theories that have been studied during the last decades. We then study the special case when the maps involved are…

This work is devoted to studying dynamic interpolation for obstacle avoidance. This is a problem that consists of minimizing a suitable energy functional among a set of admissible curves subject to some interpolation conditions. The given…

Interpolation techniques play a central role in Astronomy, where one often needs to smooth irregularly sampled data into a smooth map. In a previous article (Lombardi & Schneider 2001), we have considered a widely used smoothing technique…

Maps between Riemannian manifolds which are submersions on a dense subset, are studied by means of the eigenvalues of the pull-back of the target metrics, the first fundamental form. Expressions for the derivatives of these eigenvalues…

We compute the minimum number of critical points of a small codimension smooth map between two manifolds. We give as well some partial results for the case of higher codimension when the manifolds are spheres.

This work has two main purposes. The first aim is to study isotropic Riemannian maps as a generalization of isotropic immersions. For this purpose, the concept of isotropic Riemannian map is presented, an example is given and a…

The development of the theory of three-dimensional harmonic mappings is considered. The new classes of mappings that generate three-dimensional harmonic functions are introduced. The physical interpretation of these mappings is applied to…

The harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of…

As a generalization of slant submersions (Sahin, 2011), semi-slant submersions (Park and Prasad), and slant Riemannian maps (Sahin), we define the notion of semi-slant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds.…

Interpolating between measures supported by polygonal or polyhedral domains is a problem that has been recently addressed by the semi-discrete optimal transport framework. Within this framework, one of the domains is discretized with a set…

In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…

Let $\phi$ be a quasiconformal mapping, and let $T_\phi$ be the composition operator which maps $f$ to $f\circ\phi$. Since $\phi$ may not be bi-Lipschitz, the composition operator need not map Sobolev spaces to themselves. The study begins…

For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from $(\Omega, g)$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $(N,h)\subset\mathbb R^k$ without boundary. We generalize the notion of…

We study the map from conductances to edge energies for harmonic functions on finite graphs with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove that for any compatible acyclic orientation and choice of energies there is a unique choice of…

We consider quasi-interpolation with a main application in radial basis function approximations and compression in this article. Constructing and using these quasi-interpolants, we consider wavelet and compression-type approximations from…

Asymptotic behavior of energy of a harmonic map defined on an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold is considered. Using the growth of energy, we show that a harmonic map defined on some asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds has to be constant…

A lemma of Micchelli's, concerning radial polynomials and weighted sums of point evaluations, is shown to hold for arbitrary linear functionals, as is Schaback's more recent extension of this lemma and Schaback's result concerning…

We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…

The results of this paper are twofold: In the first part, we prove that for Schr\"odinger map flows from hyperbolic planes to Riemannian surfaces with non-positive sectional curvatures, the harmonic maps which are holomorphic or…

An existence result is shown for the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the product of the hyperbolic planes to the hyperbolic space, where the Dirichlet data is given on the distinguished boundary (the product of the…
