We introduce a characterization for affine equivalence of two surfaces of translation defined by either rational or meromorphic generators. In turn, this induces a similar characterization for minimal surfaces. In the rational case, our…

The two-fold singularity has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface…

It is shown that surface of a liquid consisting of several interpenetrating superfluids becomes unstable at some threshold. We demonstrate that the criterion for the onset of the instability changes in the presence of dissipative…
