We give a sharp lower bound on the area of the domain enclosed by an embedded curve lying on a two-dimensional sphere, provided that geodesic curvature of this curve is bounded from below. Furthermore, we prove some dual inequalities for…
Recently, a set of tools has been developed with the purpose of the study of Quantum Gravity. Until now, there have been very few attempts to put these tools into a rigorous mathematical framework. This is the case, for example, of the so…
Consider a 2D coordinate space with a set of red and a set of blue points. We define a scenic point as a point that is equidistant to a red point and a blue point. The set of contiguous scenic points form a scenic path. The perpendicular…
Simulations of motion by mean curvature in bounded domains, with applications to bubble motion and grain growth, rely upon boundary conditions that are only approximately compatible with the equation of motion. Three closed form solutions…
Quantum entanglement does not necessarily imply Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering. We identify a \emph{boundary mechanism} that closes this gap when an entangled state meets the boundary of the trusted state space in a nondegenerate way. The…
By variational methods, we prove existence of planar closed curves with prescribed curvature for some classes of curvature functions. The main difficulty is to obtain bounded Palais-Smale sequences. This is achieved by adding a parameter in…
The (parallel) linear transports along paths in vector bundles are axiomatically described. Their general form and certain properties are found. It is shown that these transports are locally (i.e. along every fixed path) always Euclidean…
The connection between curvature and topology is a very well-studied theme in the subject of differential geometry. By suitably defining curvature on networks, the study of this theme has been extended into the domain of network analysis as…
The linear transports along paths in vector bundles introduced in Ref. [1] are applied to the special case of tensor bundles over a given differentiable manifold. Links with the transports along paths generated by derivations of tensor…
Using tangent bundle geometry we construct an equivalent reformulation of classical field theory on flat spacetimes which simultaneously encodes the perspectives of multiple observers. Its generalization to curved spacetimes realizes a new…
A consistent path system in a graph $G$ is an intersection-closed collection of paths, with exactly one path between any two vertices in $G$. We call $G$ metrizable if every consistent path system in it is the system of geodesic paths…
We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…
The medial axis $M_X$ of a closed set $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is the set of points from the ambient space that admit more than one closest point in $X$. We study the problem of reaching the singularities, i.e. of characterising the points…
We consider the motion by mean curvature of an $n$-dimensional graph over a time-dependent domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, intersecting $\mathbb{R}^n$ at a constant angle. In the general case, we prove local existence for the corresponding…
A closed plane meander of order $n$ is a closed self-avoiding curve intersecting an infinite line $2n$ times. Meanders are considered distinct up to any smooth deformation leaving the line fixed. We have developed an improved algorithm,…
In rotations with a binary symbolic dynamics, a critical curve is the locus of parameters for which the boundaries of the partition that defines the symbolic dynamics are connected via a prescribed number of iterations and symbolic…
A reparametrization (of a continuous path) is given by a surjective weakly increasing self-map of the unit interval. We show that the monoid of reparametrizations (with respect to compositions) can be understood via ``stop-maps'' that allow…
A continuous frame is a family of vectors in a Hilbert space which allows reproductions of arbitrary elements by continuous superpositions. Associated to a given continuous frame we construct certain Banach spaces. Many classical function…
The displacement and deviation vectors in spaces (manifolds), the tangent bundle of which is endowed with a transport along paths, are introduced. In case these spaces are equipped with a linear connection, the deviation equations (between…
Motion planning seeks a collision-free path in a configuration space (C-space), representing all possible robot configurations in the environment. As it is challenging to construct a C-space explicitly for a high-dimensional robot, we…
