We discuss recent results on minimal surfaces and mean curvature flow, focusing on the classification and structure of embedded minimal surfaces and the stable singularities of mean curvature flow. This article is dedicated to Rick Schoen.
We analyze the performance of alternating minimization for loss functions optimized over two variables, where each variable may be restricted to lie in some potentially nonconvex constraint set. This type of setting arises naturally in…
