We prove the following results: (1) For every generic closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a point with at least $6$ emanating normals to the curve. (2) For every generic closed piecewise linear curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ there is a…

In order to detect salient lines in spherical images, we consider the problem of minimizing the functional $\int \limits_0^l C(\gamma(s)) \sqrt{\xi^2 + k_g^2(s)} \, {\rm d}s$ for a curve $\gamma$ on a sphere with fixed boundary points and…

The reductivity of a spherical curve is the minimal number of a local transformation called an inverse-half-twisted splice required to obtain a reducible spherical curve from the spherical curve. It is unknown if there exists a spherical…

In this article, we prove that there exists a unique perimeter minimizer among all piecewise smooth simple closed curves in $M_{\kappa}^2$ enclosing area $A > 0$ $(A \leq 2{\pi}$ if ${\kappa} = 1)$, and it is a circle in $M_{\kappa}^2$ of…

A tetrahedral curve is a space curve whose defining ideal is an intersection of powers of monomial prime ideals of height two. It is supported on a tetrahedral configuration of lines. Schwartau described when certain such curves are ACM,…

In this paper, we study stable constant mean curvature $H$ surfaces in $\R^3$. We prove that, in such a surface, the distance from a point to the boundary is less that $\pi/(2H)$. This upper-bound is optimal and is extended to stable…

The minimal network problem is a classical topic in geometric measure theory and the calculus of variations, which aims to find networks of minimal length connecting given points. Most classical results are established in the Euclidean…

We present a new technique for efficiently removing almost all short cycles in a graph without unintentionally removing its triangles. Consequently, triangle finding problems do not become easy even in almost $k$-cycle free graphs, for any…

We study points of moderately low degree on a curve $C$ over a number field, which is embedded on a nice toric surface $S$. Recently, Smith and Vogt related the linear equivalence classes of such points to intersections of $C$ with curves…

In mathematics curves are typically defined as the images of continuous real functions (parametrizations) defined on a closed interval. They can also be defined as connected one-dimensional compact subsets of points. For simple curves of…

The round Taylor method uses rational arithmetic, allowing control of both round-off and truncation errors in approximating solutions of differential equations. In this paper, we employ this method together with the Poincare-Miranda theorem…
