We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area…
We consider ruled surfaces with finite multiplicity. We study behaviors of the striction curves and the singularities of the ruled surfaces. We also give geometric meanings of invariants related to the ruled surfaces.
We solve the following problem: given a polynomial of order $n$ and the corresponding $B\'ezier$ tensor product patches over an unstructured regular quadrilateral mesh of any valence, find a solution to the $G^{1}1$ or $C^{1}1$…
Biharmonic or polyharmonic curves and surfaces in 3-dimensional contact manifolds are investigated.
Let $\Gamma_g$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We introduce a combinatorial structure of "core surfaces", that represent subgroups of $\Gamma_g$. These structures are (usually)…
We introduce a compactification of the space of simple positive divisors on a Riemann surface, as well as a compactification of the universal family of punctured surfaces above this space. These are real manifolds with corners. We then…
In this paper, we define a new type of ruled surface called ruled surface by using the alternative frame of a base curve. Then, we study its differential geometric properties such as striction line, distribution parameter, fundamental…
A method is given for evaluating electromagnetic scattering by an irregular surface with spatially-varying impedance. This uses an operator expansion with respect to impedance variation and allows examination of its effects and the…
Surface tension tends to minimize the area of interfaces between pieces of matter in different thermodynamic phases, be they in the solid or the liquid state. This can be relevant for the macroscopic shape of very soft solids, and lead to a…
We show that a complex normal surface singularity admitting a contracting automorphism is necessarily quasihomogeneous. We also describe the geometry of a compact complex surface arising as the orbit space of such a contracting…
We are concerned with the Calder\'on inverse inclusion problem, where one intends to recover the shape of an inhomogeneous conductive inclusion embedded in a homogeneous conductivity by the associated boundary measurements. We consider the…
We show that two properly embedded compact surfaces in an orientable 4-manifold are cobordant if and only if they are $\mathbb{Z}/2$-homologous and either the 4-manifold has boundary or the surfaces have the same normal Euler number. If the…
We develop a characterization for the existence of symmetries of canal surfaces defined by a rational spine curve and rational radius function. In turn, this characterization inspires an algorithm for computing the symmetries of such canal…
We consider compact convex hypersurfaces contracting by functions of their curvature. Under the mean curvature flow, uniformly convex smooth initial hypersurfaces evolve to remain smooth and uniformly convex, and contract to points after…
Long time existence and convergence to a circle is proved for radial graph solutions to a mean curvature type curve flow in warped product surfaces (under a weak assumption on the warp potential of the surface). This curvature flow…
We study the structural and thermodynamic properties of patchy particle liquids, with a special focus on the role of "color", i.e. specific interactions between individual patches. A possible experimental realization of such "chromatic"…
We construct a series of vortex patch solutions in a doubly-periodic rectangular domain (flat torus), which is accomplished by studying the contour dynamic equation for patch boundaries. We will illustrate our key idea by discussing the…
A branched affine structure on a compact topological surface with marked points is a complex affine structure outside the marked points. We give a proof of an unpublished foundational theorem of Veech, stating that any branched affine…
In this paper we prove several quantitative rigidity results for conformal immersions of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with bounded total curvature. We show that (branched) conformal immersions which are close in energy to either a round…
Marching surfaces is a method for isosurface extraction and approximation based on a $G^1$ multi-sided patch interpolation scheme. Given a 3D grid of scalar values, an underlying curve network is formed using second order information and…
