We prove a Heinz type inequality for harmonic diffeomorphisms of of the half-plane onto itself. We then apply this result to prove some sharp bound of the Gaussian curvature of a minimal surface, provided that it lies above the whole…
We obtain new curvature estimates and Bernstein type results for minimal $n-$submanifolds in $\ir{n+m},\, m\ge 2$ under the condition that the rank of its Gauss map is at most 2. In particular, this applies to minimal surfaces in Euclidean…
Near a singular point of a surface or a curve, geometric invariants diverge in general, and the orders of diverge, in particular the boundedness about these invariants represent geometry of the surface and the curve. In this paper, we study…
We consider a linear-quadratic optimization problem with pointwise bounds on the state for which the constraint is given by the Laplace-Beltrami equation (to have uniqueness we add an lower order term) on a two-dimensional surface . By…
In this paper, we study the Gauss map of a free boundary minimal surface. The main theorem asserts that if components of the Gauss map are eigenfunctions of the Jacobi-Steklov operator, then the surface must be rotationally symmetric.
The geometry of minimal surfaces generated by charge 2 Bogomolny monopoles on 3-dimensional Euclidean space is described in terms of the moduli parameter k. We find that the distribution of Gaussian curvature on the surface reflects the…
In this paper, close surfaces are considered in 3-dimensional harmonic conformally flat space in point of the variation. It is shown that if the conformal vector field be tangent to surface and the sign of the mean curvature does not change…
We consider the problem of geometric optimization of the lowest eigenvalue for the Laplacian on a compact, simply-connected two-dimensional manifold with boundary subject to an attractive Robin boundary condition. We prove that in the…
We find conditions under which Almgren-Pitts min-max for the prescribed geodesic curvature functional in a closed oriented Riemannian surface produces a closed embedded curve of constant curvature. In particular, we find a closed embedded…
Surfaces of finite geometric type are complete, immersed into the tree-dimensional Euclidean space with finite total curvature and Gauss map extending to an oriented compact surface as a smooth branched covering map over the unit sphere of…
A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we…
We consider discretized two-dimensional PDE-constrained shape optimization problems, in which shapes are represented by triangular meshes. Given the connectivity, the space of admissible vertex positions was recently identified to be a…
We prove that, given a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ and disjoint finite sets $\varnothing\neq E\subset\Sigma$ and $\Lambda\subset\Sigma$, every map $\Lambda \to \mathbb{R}^3$ extends to a complete conformal minimal immersion…
We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…
We prove that singular minimal surfaces with constant Gauss curvature are planes, spheres and cylindrical surfaces. We also classify all singular minimal surfaces with a constant principal curvature and singular minimal surfaces with…
We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group.…
We classify all surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ in Euclidean $3$-space that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are real functions of one variable. If $K=0$, we prove…
We study the problem of finding, for a given one-dimensional topological space $X$, a cover of $X$ of smallest size by geodesics with respect to some metric. The infimal size of such a set is called the metric geodesic cover number of $X$.…
In this paper we consider the problem of prescribing the Gaussian and geodesic curvature on a disk and its boundary, respectively, via a conformal change of the metric. This leads us to a Liouville-type equation with a nonlinear Neumann…
