Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ be a broken sheared waveguide, i.e., it is built by translating a cross-section in a constant direction along a broken line in $\mathbb R^3$. We prove that the discrete spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian…
In Euclidean space we study surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature $\Lambda$ of the Dirichlet energy $\int_\Omega( |Du|^2+\Lambda u)$. We prove the existence of non-rotational surfaces with $\Lambda=0$ and foliated by a…

In this paper, we propose a novel meshfree Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM) approach to discretize PDEs defined on manifolds. Derivative approximations for the same are done directly on the tangent space, in a manner that mimics…
This note is to concern a generalization to the case of twisted coefficients of the classical theory of Abelian differentials on a compact Riemann surface. We apply the Dirichlet's principle to a modified energy functional to show the…
We propose a proof of the characterization of spherical hypersurfaces as the only strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces which have contracting germs of diffeomorphisms. Unlike previous proofs, our approach does not use Chern-Moser theory. It…
This paper proposes a new notion of smoothness of algebras, termed differential smoothness, that combines the existence of a top form in a differential calculus over an algebra together with a strong version of the Poincar\'e duality…
We show that integral curvature energies on surfaces of the type $E_0(M) := \int_M f(x,n_M(x),D n_M(x))\,d\mathcal{H}^2(x)$ have discrete versions for triangular complexes, where the shape operator $D n_M$ is replaced by the piecewise…
The article contributes to the theory of infinitesimal bendings of smooth surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. We derive a linear differential equation of the first order, which previously did not appear in the literature and which is satisfied…
Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods offer an enormous flexibility regarding local grid refinement and variation of polynomial degrees for a variety of different problem classes. With a focus on diffusion problems, we consider DG…
We present a novel approach for high-order accurate numerical differentiation on unstructured meshes of quadrilateral elements. To differentiate a given function, an auxiliary function with greater smoothness properties is defined which…

The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about…
The main goal of this work is to construct and study a reasonable compactification of the strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials. This allows us to compute the Kodaira dimension of some strata of the moduli space of Abelian…
