In this paper, we propose simple numerical algorithms for partial differential equations (PDEs) defined on closed, smooth surfaces (or curves). In particular, we consider PDEs that originate from variational principles defined on the…
A surface is considered flexible if it allows a continuous deformation that preserves both metric and smoothness. We introduce a novel construction method, called 'base + crinkle,' for generating a broad class of non-self-intersecting…
The paper introduces a new differential-geometric system which originates from the theory of $m$-Hessian operators. The core of this system is a new notion of invariant differentiation on multidimensional surfaces. This novelty gives rise…
Recent work in the literature has studied fourth-order elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. This paper proves that, in the case of the squared Laplace operator, the boundary conditions which require that the eigenfunctions and…
Starting from the approach to the Laplacian with respect to coupling measures and undirected weighted graphs, we provide a setting for a general point of view for a Kirchhoff type divergence and a Laplace operators built on the trivial…
The theory of algebraic-geometric codes has been developed in the beginning of the 80's after a paper of V.D. Goppa. Given a smooth projective algebraic curve X over a finite field, there are two different constructions of error-correcting…
We analyze $p$-Laplace operators with degenerate elliptic coefficients. This investigation includes Gru\v{s}in type $p$-Laplace operators. We describe a \emph{separation phenomenon} in elliptic and parabolic $p$-Laplace type equations,…
The properties of curl and gradient of divergence operators in the domain $G$ of three-dimensional space are described. The self-conjugacy of these operators in the subspaces $\mathbf{L}_{2}(G) $ and the basis property of the system of…
Divergence-free (div-free) and curl-free vector fields are pervasive in many areas of science and engineering, from fluid dynamics to electromagnetism. A common problem that arises in applications is that of constructing smooth approximants…
We consider a free boundary problem for the $p$-Laplace operator which is related to the so-called Bernoulli free boundary problem. In this formulation, the classical boundary gradient condition is replaced by a condition on the distance…
We identify conditions giving large natural classes of partial differential operators for which it is possible to construct a complete set of Laplace invariants. In order to do that we investigate general properties of differential…
We introduce orthogonal ring patterns in the 2-sphere and in the hyperbolic plane, consisting of pairs of concentric circles, which generalize circle patterns. We show that their radii are described by a discrete integrable system. This is…

A non-traditional approach to the discretization of differential-geometrical connections was suggested by the authors in 1997. At the same time we started studying first order difference ``black and white triangle operators (equations)'' on…
This manuscript, titled Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Three-dimensional Euclidean Space, is intended for undergraduate students of mathematics and other sciences with the need of use of Euclidean differential geometry. We…
A formulation of quantum mechanics with additive and multiplicative (q-)difference operators instead of differential operators is studied from first principles. Borel-quantisation on smooth configuration spaces is used as guiding…

In this paper, we present a fast divergence-free spectral algorithm (FDSA) for the curl-curl problem. Divergence-free bases in two and three dimensions are constructed by using the generalized Jacobi polynomials. An accurate spectral method…
These notes are designed for those who either plan to work in differential geometry, or at least want to have a good reason not to do it. We discuss smooth curves and surfaces -- the main gate to differential geometry. We focus on the…
It is shown how to define difference operators and equations on particular lattices $\{x_n\}$, $2n\in\mathbb{Z}$, such that the divided difference operator $(\mathcal{D}f)(x_{n+1/2})= (f(x_{n+1})-f(x_n))/(x_{n+1}-x_n)$ has the property that…
