Illumination of scenes is usually generated in computer graphics using polygonal meshes. In this paper, we present a geometric method using projections. Starting from an implicit polynomial equation of a surface in 3-D or a curve in 2-D, we…

Dupin cyclides are interesting algebraic surfaces used in geometric design and architecture to join canal surfaces smoothly and to construct model surfaces. Dupin cyclides are special cases of Darboux cyclides, which in turn are rather…
We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular,…
The self intersection of an immersion i : S^2 \to R^3 dissects S^2 into pieces which are planar surfaces (unless i is an embedding). In this work we determine what collections of planar surfaces may be obtained in this way. In particular,…

In this paper, we find a full description of concircular hypersurfaces in space forms as a special family of ruled hypersurfaces. We also characterize concircular helices in 3-dimensional space forms by means of a differential equation…
Concept of curvature of liquid surrounding a spherical surface seems obvious in daily life, but based on earthly conditions everywhere. However, our understanding about the concept seems more transparent when we keep the system out of the…
We study the surface shape of two-dimensional piles using experiments and a continuum theory for surface flows of granular materials (the BCRE equations). We first obtain an analytical solution to the BCRE equations with a simple…
For the problem of 3D object recognition, researchers using deep learning methods have developed several very different input representations, including "multi-view" snapshots taken from discrete viewpoints around an object, as well as…
In this paper, we study edge-transitive surfaces, i.e. triangulated 2-dimensional manifolds whose automorphism groups act transitively on the edges of these triangulated surfaces. We show that there exist four types of edge-transitive…
In this note, using some regular triangular tilings of the sphere, the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, we examine the potential relationship between their discrete Bakry - Emery curvatures and the smooth curvatures of their…
Second order partial differential equations which describe spherical surfaces (ss) or pseudospherical surfaces (pss) are considered. These equations are equivalent to the structure equations of a metric with Gaussian curvature $K = 1$ or $K…
It is a well known phenomenon that many classical minimal surfaces in Euclidean space also exist with higher dihedral symmetry. More precisely, these surfaces are solutions to free boundary problems in a wedge bounded by two vertical planes…

Kinetic equations bridge the gap between a microscopic description and a macroscopic description of the physical reality. Due to the high dimensionality the construction of numerical methods represents a challenge and requires a careful…
We survey some aspects of the theory of elliptic surfaces and give some results aimed at determining the Picard number of such a surface. For the surfaces considered, this will be equivalent to determining the Mordell-Weil rank of an…
