Farin proposed a method for designing Bezier curves with monotonic curvature and torsion. Such curves are relevant in design due to their aesthetic shape. The method relies on applying a matrix M to the first edge of the control polygon of…

For immersed curves in Euclidean space of any codimension we establish a Li--Yau type inequality that gives a lower bound of the (normalized) bending energy in terms of multiplicity. The obtained inequality is optimal for any codimension…

This is a continuation of the joint paper with the same title by A.Belenkiy and Yu.Burago. It is proved here that two homeomorphic closed Alexandrov surfaces (of bounded integral curvature) are bi-Lipschitz with a constant depending only on…

We prove that if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ can be drawn in the plane such that each pair of crossing edges is independent and there is a crossing-free edge that connects their endpoints, then $G$ has $O(n)$ edges. Graphs that admit such…

In this paper, we study Toeplitz operators on generalized flag manifolds of compact Lie groups using a representation-theoretic point of view. We prove several basic properties of these Toeplitz operators, including an abstract formula for…

We prove the "End Curve Theorem," which states that a normal surface singularity $(X,o)$ with rational homology sphere link $\Sigma$ is a splice-quotient singularity if and only if it has an end curve function for each leaf of a good…

Given a finite connected graph $G$, place a bin at each vertex. Two bins are called a pair if they share an edge of $G$. At discrete times, a ball is added to each pair of bins. In a pair of bins, one of the bins gets the ball with…

We study logarithmically averaged binary correlations of bounded multiplicative functions $g_1$ and $g_2$. A breakthrough on these correlations was made by Tao, who showed that the correlation average is negligibly small whenever $g_1$ or…

We investigate the problem of constructing planar drawings with few bends for two related problems, the partially embedded graph problem---to extend a straight-line planar drawing of a subgraph to a planar drawing of the whole graph---and…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a non-degenerate planar curve. We show that the curve is of Khintchine-type for convergence in the case of simultaneous approximation with two independent approximation functions; that is if a certain sum converges then…

We study a class of semilinear diffusion equations on infinite, connected, weighted graphs, focusing on two types of nonlinearities: monotone decreasing and Lipschitz continuous. Under minimal structural assumptions on the graph, we…

Square grid circle patterns with prescribed intersection angles, mimicking holomorphic maps z^a and log(z) are studied. It is shown that the corresponding circle patterns are imbedded and described by special separatrix solutions of…

The problem of maximizing the $L^p$ norms of chords connecting points on a closed curve separated by arclength $u$ arises in electrostatic and quantum--mechanical problems. It is known that among all closed curves of fixed length, the…

The paper deals with a comprehensive theory of mappings, whose local behavior can be described by means of linear subspaces, contained in the graphs of two (primal and dual) generalized derivatives. This class of mappings includes the…

Let $X$ be a toric surface and $u$ be a normalized symplectic potential on the corresponding polygon $P$. Suppose that the Riemannian curvature is bounded by a constant $C_1$ and $\int_{\partial P} u ~ d \sigma < C_2, $ then there exists a…

We give an approximate Menger-type theorem for when a graph $G$ contains two $X-Y$ paths $P_1$ and $P_2$ such that $P_1 \cup P_2$ is an induced subgraph of $G$. More generally, we prove that there exists a function $f(d) \in O(d)$, such…

We consider weak solutions to a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems invloving the $p$-Laplace operator, and prove that the second weak derivatives are in $L^{q}$ with $q$ as large as it is desirable, provided $p$ is sufficiently…

A simplicial complex of dimension $d-1$ is said to be balanced if its graph is $d$-colorable. Juhnke-Kubitzke and Murai proved an analogue of the generalized lower bound theorem for balanced simplicial polytopes. We establish a…

This paper deals with a kind of design of a ruled surface. It combines concepts from the fields of computer aided geometric design and kinematics. A dual unit spherical B\'ezier-like curve on the dual unit sphere (DUS) is obtained with…

We study the topological entropy of a two-parameter family of maps related to (a,b)-continued fraction algorithms and prove that it is constant on a square within the parameter space (two vertices of this square correspond to well-studied…
