We study ruled surfaces in R3 which are obtained from dual spher- ical indicatrix curves of dual Frenet vector fields. We find the Gaussian and mean curvatures of the ruled surfaces and give some results of being Wein- garten surface.
This paper concerns the geometry of bicycle tracks. We model bicycle as an oriented segment of a fixed length that is moving in the Euclidean plane so that the trajectory of the rear point is tangent to the segment at all times. The…
Weingarten surfaces are those whose principal curvatures satisfy a functional relation, whose set of solutions is called the curvature diagram or the W-diagram of the surface. Making use of the notion of geometric linear momentum of a plane…
A common representation of a three dimensional object in computer applications, such as graphics and design, is in the form of a triangular mesh. In many instances, individual or groups of triangles in such representation need to satisfy…
We prove that the unique least-perimeter way of partitioning the unit 2-dimensional disk into three regions of prescribed areas is by means of the standard graph consisting in three balanced constant geodesic curvature curves meeting…
A \emph{$(k,t)$-track layout} of a graph $G$ consists of a (proper) vertex $t$-colouring of $G$, a total order of each vertex colour class, and a (non-proper) edge $k$-colouring such that between each pair of colour classes no two…
This paper addresses the problem of designing a trajectory tracking control law for a quadrotor UAV, subsequent to complete failure of a single rotor. The control design problem considers the reduced state space which excludes the angular…
This note proposes a general control approach, called vector-field guided constraint-following control, to solve the dynamics control problem of geometric path-following for a class of uncertain mechanical systems. More specifically, it…
Qualifying the discrepancy between 3D geometric models, which could be represented with either point clouds or triangle meshes, is a pivotal issue with board applications. Existing methods mainly focus on directly establishing the…
In this paper, Legendre curves on unit tangent bundle are given using rotation minimizing (RM) vector fields. Ruled surfaces corresponding to these curves are represented. Singularities of these ruled surfaces are also analyzed and…
We consider ruled surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space and some geometrically distinguished families of curves on them whose normal curvature has a concrete form. The aim of this paper is to find and classify all ruled surfaces…
A unibike curve is a track that can be made by either a bicycle or a unicycle. More precisely, the end of a unit tangent vector at any point on a unibike curve lies on the curve (so the bike's front wheel always lies on the track made by…

Directional fields, including unit vector, line, and cross fields, are essential tools in the geometry processing toolkit. The topology of directional fields is characterized by their singularities. While singularities play an important…
In this paper, we propose a novel lower dimensional representation of a shape sequence. The proposed dimension reduction is invertible and computationally more efficient in comparison to other related works. Theoretically, the differential…
Many well-known combinatorial optimization problems can be stated over the set of acyclic orientations of an undirected graph. For example, acyclic orientations with certain diameter constraints are closely related to the optimal solutions…
Horizontal curves are often associated with roadway crashes due to speed misjudgment and loss of control. With the growing adoption of autonomous and connected vehicles, the accurate estimation of safe speed at curves is becoming…
The paper deals with motion planning for a spin-rolling sphere when the sphere follows a straight path on a plane. Since the motion of the sphere is constrained by the straight line, the control of the sphere's spin motion is essential to…
The ruled surfaces, i.e., surfaces generated by one parametric set of lines, are widely used in the~field of applied geometry. An~isophote on a surface is a curve consisting of surface points whose normals form a constant angle with some…
For a surface immersed in a three-dimensional space endowed with a norm instead of an inner product, one can define analogous concepts of curvature and metric. With these concepts in mind, various questions immediately appear. The aim of…
