The minimal geodesic models based on the Eikonal equations are capable of finding suitable solutions in various image segmentation scenarios. Existing geodesic-based segmentation approaches usually exploit image features in conjunction with…

In this paper we study the shape space of curves with values in a homogeneous space $M = G/K$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $K$ is a compact Lie subgroup. We generalize the square root velocity framework to obtain a reparametrization…

We classify curvature-adapted real hypersurfaces $M$ of non-flat quaternionic space forms $\mathbb HP^m$ and $\mathbb HH^m$ that are of Chen type 2 in an appropriately defined (pseudo) Euclidean space of quaternion-Hermitian matrices, where…

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 prove that a proper geodesic metric space has non-positive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov if and only if it satisfies the Euclidean isoperimetric inequality for curves. Our result extends to non-geodesic spaces and non-zero…

It is still an open question whether a compact embedded hypersurface in the Euclidean space R^{n+1} with constant mean curvature and spherical boundary is necessarily a hyperplanar ball or a spherical cap, even in the simplest case of…

We show that for any two convex curves $C_1$ and $C_2$ in $\mathbb R^d$ parametrized by $[0,1]$ with opposite orientations, there exists a hyperplane $H$ with the following property: For any $t\in [0,1]$ the points $C_1(t)$ and $C_2(t)$ are…

This paper is devoted to the 3-dimensional relative differential geometry of surfaces. In the Euclidean space $\R{E} ^3 $ we consider a surface $\varPhi %\colon \vect{x} = \vect{x}(u^1,u^2) $ with position vector field $\vect{x}$, which is…

We investigate the curves in the complex plane which are generated by sequences of real numbers being the lifts of the points on the orbit of an orientation preserving circle homeomorphism. Geometrical properties of these curves such as…

We classify complete orientable hypersurfaces of constant isotropic curvature in space forms. We show that such a hypersurface has constant mean curvature only if it is an isoparametric hypersurface, and that it is minimal if and only if it…

We investigate the evolution of open curves with fixed endpoints under the curve shortening flow, which evolves curves in proportion to their curvature. Using a distance comparison of Huisken, we determine the long-term behavior of open…

We introduce a new class of surfaces in Euclidean $3$-space, called surfaces of osculating circles, using the concept of osculating circle of a regular curve. These surfaces contain a uniparametric family of planar lines of curvature. In…

We investigate vertices for plane curves with singular points. As plane curves with singular points, we consider Legendre curves (respectively, Legendre immersions) in the unit tangent bundle over the Euclidean plane and frontals…

We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of…

We study the contraction of strictly convex, axially symmetric hypersurfaces by a non-symmetric, non-homogeneous, fully nonlinear function of curvature. Starting from axially symmetric hypersurfaces with even profile curves, we show…

This paper deals with relative normalizations of skew ruled surfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. In section 2 we investigate some new formulae concerning the Pick invariant, the relative curvature, the relative mean curvature…

We show that a bijection $f:\mathbb{H}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{H}^2$ of the hyperbolic plane that sends horocycles to horocycles (respectively hypercycles to hypercycles) is an isometry. This extends a previous result of J. Jeffers on geodesics…

Along cuspidal edge singularities on a given surface in Euclidean 3-space, which can be parametrized by a regular space curve, a unit normal vector field $\nu$ is well-defined as a smooth vector field of the surface. A cuspidal edge…
