We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by smooth functions of the Weingarten map. We introduce the notion of `quasi-ancient' solutions for flows that do not admit non-trivial, convex, ancient…
The parametric nonlinear Schrodinger equation models a variety of parametrically forced and damped dispersive waves. For the defocusing regime, we derive a normal velocity for the evolution of curved dark-soliton fronts that represent a…
We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…
This article describes the mean curvature flow, some of the discoveries that have been made about it, and some unresolved questions.
In this paper, we investigate the evolution of spacelike curves in Lorentz-Minkowski plane $\mathbb{R}^{2}_{1}$ along prescribed geometric flows (including the classical curve shortening flow or mean curvature flow as a special case), which…
We construct embedded ancient solutions to mean curvature flow related to certain classes of unstable minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for $n \geq 2$. These provide examples of mean convex yet nonconvex ancient solutions that are…
Accretion of mineralized thin wall-like structures via localized growth along their edges is observed in a range of physical and biological systems ranging from molluscan and brachiopod shells to carbonate-silica composite precipitates. To…
We investigate a system of nonlocal transport equations in one spatial dimension. The system can be regarded as a model for the 3D Euler equations in the hyperbolic flow scenario. We construct blowup solutions with control up to the blowup…
We apply our recent formalism establishing new connections between the geometry of moving space curves and soliton equations, to the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (NLS). We show that any given solution of the NLS gets associated with…
We study the geometric flow of a planar curve driven by its curvature and the normal derivative of its capacity potential. Under a convexity condition that is natural to our problem, we establish long term existence and large time…
In this paper we study a flow by minkowskian curvature where we have a different Minkowski plane at each time. We derive some evolution formulas, present sufficient hypotesis for the short time existence and convexity of solutions and study…
The main purpose is to describe the evolution of $\Xt = \Xs \wedge_- \Xss,$ with $\X(s,0)$ a regular polygonal curve with a nonzero torsion in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Unlike in the Euclidean space, a nonzero torsion implies two…
We describe the evolution under the mean curvature flow of embedded Lagrangian spherical surfaces in the complex Euclidean plane $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we answer the Question 4.7 addressed in [Ne10b] by A. Neves about finding out a…
The square root velocity transformation provides a convenient and numerically efficient approach to functional and shape data analysis of curves. We study fundamental geometric properties of curves under this transformation. Moreover,…
We study one-parameter curves on the universal Teichm\"uller space $T$ and on the homogeneous space $M=\Diff S^1/\Rot S^1$ embedded into $T$. As a result, we deduce evolution equations for conformal maps that admit quasiconformal extensions…
We study the curve shortening flow on Riemann surfaces with finitely many conformal conical singularities. If the initial curve is passing through the singular points, then the evolution is governed by a degenerate quasilinear parabolic…
The elastic energy of a bending-resistant interface depends both on its geometry and its material composition. We consider such a heterogeneous interface in the plane, modeled by a curve equipped with an additional density function. The…
We investigate the moving contact line problem for two-phase incompressible flows with a kinematic approach. The key idea is to derive an evolution equation for the contact angle in terms of the transporting velocity field. It turns out…
The mean curvature flow is an evolution process under which a submanifold deforms in the direction of its mean curvature vector. The hypersurface case has been much studied since the eighties. Recently, several theorems on regularity,…
We consider the numerical integration of moving boundary problems with the curve-shortening property, such as the mean curvature flow and Hele-Shaw flow. We propose a fully discrete curve-shortening polygonal evolution law. The proposed…
