We present a method for constructing all bounded rational motions that frame a space curve $\mathbf{r}(t)$. This means that the motion guides an orthogonal frame along the curve such that one frame axis is in direction of the curve tangent.…
We consider variational problems that model the bending behavior of curves that are constrained to belong to given hypersurfaces. Finite element discretizations of corresponding functionals are justified rigorously via Gamma-convergence.…
This thesis is devoted to the Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces along with applications in Quantum Mechanics. In the 1st part we introduce the well known Frenet frame. Later, we show that the curvature function is a lower bound…
A parametric curve $\gamma$ of class $C^n$ on the $n$-sphere is said to be nondegenerate (or locally convex) when $\det\left(\gamma(t),\gamma'(t),\cdots,\gamma^{(n)}(t)\right)>0$ for all values of the parameter $t$. We orthogonalize this…
We compute the optical conductivity for an out-of-plane deformation in graphene using an approach based on solutions of the Dirac equation in curved space. Different examples of periodic deformations along one direction translates into an…
In this paper, we extend the method developed in [17, 18] to curves in the Minkowski plane. The method proposes a way to study deformations of plane curves taking into consideration their geometry as well as their singularities. We deal in…
We give a sufficient condition for a first order infinitesimal deformation of a curve on a 3-fold to be obstructed. As application we construct generically non-reduced components of the Hilbert schemes of uniruled 3-folds and the Hom scheme…
We study the motion of self deforming bodies with non zero angular momentum when the changing shape is known as a function of time. The conserved angular momentum with respect to the center of mass, when seen from a rotating frame,…
We consider a length functional for $C^1$ curves of fixed degree in graded manifolds equipped with a Riemannian metric. The first variation of this length functional can be computed only if the curve can be deformed in a suitable sense, and…
Geometric modeling by constraints, whose applications are of interest to communities from various fields such as mechanical engineering, computer aided design, symbolic computation or molecular chemistry, is now integrated into standard…
Let f = 0 be an implicit singular plane curve. When deforming f = 0, inflections and vertex emerge from the singularities. In this papper, we classify the deformations of f = 0 with respect to the inflections and the vertices in the cases…
We examine three-dimensional metric deformations based on a tetrad transformation through the action the matrices of scalar fields. We describe by this approach to deformation the results obtained by Coll et al. in [1], where it is stated…
We compare the Serret-Frenet frame with a {\em relatively parallel adapted frame} (RPAF) introduced by Bishop to parametrize $W^{2,2}$-curves. Next, we derive the geometric invariants, curvature and torsion, with the RPAF associated to the…
In the plane, we study the transform $R_\gamma f$ of integrating a unknown function $f$ over circles centered at a given curve $\gamma$. This is a simplified model of SAR, when the radar is not directed but has other applications, like…
Suppose that $M$ is a $2$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold, and let $\gamma$ be a simple closed curve on $M$. Let $m \gamma$ denote the curve formed by tracing $\gamma$ $m$ times. We prove that if $m \gamma$ is contractible through…
Turbulence-degraded image frames are distorted by both turbulent deformations and space-time-varying blurs. To suppress these effects, we propose a multi-frame reconstruction scheme to recover a latent image from the observed image…
This paper studies the obstructions to deforming a map from a complex variety to another variety which is an immersion of codimension one. We extend the classical notion of semiregularity of subvarieties to maps between varieties, and show…
Let $\gamma: I \rightarrow \mathbb R^n$ be a parametric curve of class $C^{n+1}$, regular of order $n$. The Frenet-Serret apparatus of $\gamma$ at $\gamma(t)$ consists of a frame $e_1(t), \dots , e_n(t)$ and generalized curvature values…
We consider the decomposition of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces in terms of functions forming frames. Similar to the singular-value decomposition, the resulting frame decompositions encode information on the structure and…
The {\em focal curve} of an immersed smooth curve $\gamma:s\mapsto \gamma(s)$, in Euclidean space $\R^{m+1}$, consists of the centres of its osculating hyperspheres. The focal curve may be parametrised in terms of the Frenet frame of…
