Calculating and categorizing the similarity of curves is a fundamental problem which has generated much recent interest. However, to date there are no implementations of these algorithms for curves on surfaces with provable guarantees on…
We consider the functional $$I_\Omega(v) = \int_\Omega [f(|Dv|) - v] dx,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain and $f$ is a convex function. Under general assumptions on $f$, G. Crasta [Cr1] has shown that if $I_\Omega$ admits a minimizer in…
We consider deformations of the scalar curvature of a partially integrable pseudohermitian manifold, in analogy with the work of Fischer and Marsden on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we introduce and discuss $R$-singular spaces, give…
We study the infinitesimal rigidity of equivariant minimal maps from the universal cover of a smooth oriented surface (possibly non-compact) into a Riemannian symmetric space, focusing on representations arising from cyclic harmonic…
Length spectral rigidity is the question of under what circumstances the geometry of a surface can be determined, up to isotopy, by knowing only the lengths of its closed geodesics. It is known that this can be done for negatively curved…
We obtain a uniform $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ a priori bound, for any positive weak solutions to elliptic problem with a nonlinearity $f$ slightly subcritical, slightly superlinear, and regularly varying. To achieve our result, we first obtain a…
In a matter-filled spacetime, perhaps with positive cosmological constant, a stable marginally outer trapped 2-sphere must satisfy a certain area inequality. Namely, as discussed in the paper, its area must be bounded above by $4\pi/c$,…
In this paper, a geometric resolution of singularities algorithm is developed. This method is elementary in its statement and proof, using explicit coordinate systems as much as possible. Each coordinate change used in the resolution…
Spherical localisation is a technique whose history goes back to M.Gromov and V.Milman. It's counterpart, the Euclidean localisation is extensively studied and has been put to great use in various branches of mathematics. The purpose of…
Motivated by the challenging formation stabilization problem for mobile robotic teams when no distance or relative displacement measurements are available and each robot can only measure some of those angles formed by rays towards its…
In this paper, we combine separate works on (a) the transfer of infinitesimal rigidity results from an Euclidean space to the next higher dimension by coning, (b) the further transfer of these results to spherical space via associated…
This paper focuses on computing the directional extremal boundary of a union of equal-radius circles. We introduce an efficient algorithm that accurately determines this boundary by analyzing the intersections and dominant relationships…
In this paper, we initiate the study of the instability of naked singularities without symmetries. In a series of papers, Christodoulou proved that naked singularities are not stable in the context of the spherically symmetric Einstein…
What is the least surface area of a symmetric body $B$ whose $\mathbb{Z}^n$ translations tile $\mathbb{R}^n$? Since any such body must have volume $1$, the isoperimetric inequality implies that its surface area must be at least…
In 1971, S.Smale presented a generalization of Pareto optimum he called the critical Pareto set. The underlying motivation was to extend Morse theory to several functions, i.e. to find a Morse theory for $m$ differentiable functions defined…
Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form $\mathbb{S}^n = \mathbb{S}^n$. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle.…
In 1970, Schneider introduced the $m$th order difference body of a convex body, and also established the $m$th-order Rogers-Shephard inequality. In this paper, we extend this idea to the projection body, centroid body, and radial mean…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of proximally completeness, proximally closedness and proximally continuity and utilize the same to prove a result on existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in the setting of metric space…
We prove weighted isoperimetric inequalities for smooth, bounded, and simply connected domains. More precisely, we show that the moment of inertia of inner parallel curves for domains with fixed perimeter attains its maximum for a disk.…
