We consider variational problems that model the bending behavior of curves that are constrained to belong to given hypersurfaces. Finite element discretizations of corresponding functionals are justified rigorously via Gamma-convergence.…
In this paper are studied the nets of principal curvature lines on surfaces embedded in Euclidean $3-$space near their end points, at which the surfaces tend to infinity. This is a natural complement and extension to smooth surfaces of the…
We study the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta -\alpha \delta (x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\R^3)$ with a $\delta$ interaction supported by an infinite non-planar surface $\Gamma$ which is smooth, admits a global normal parameterization with a…
A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…
When measuring the roughness of rough surfaces, the limited sizes of scanned areas lead to its systematic underestimation. Levelling by polynomials and other filtering used in real-world processing of atomic force microscopy data increases…

We discuss the methods to calculate the roughness exponent alpha and the dynamic exponent z from the scaling properties of the local roughness, which is frequently used in the analysis of experimental data. Through numerical simulations, we…
We examine the solution of the constraints in spherically symmetric general relativity when spacetime has a flat spatial hypersurface. We demonstrate explicitly that given one flat slice, a foliation by flat slices can be consistently…
We propose a computation of curvature of arbitrary two-dimensional surfaces of three-dimensional objects, which is a contribution to discrete gravity with potential applications in network geometry. We begin by linking each point of the…
In this paper, we study factorable surfaces in a 3-dimensional isotropic space. We classify such surfaces with constant isotropic Gaussian (K) and mean curvature (H). We provide a non-existence result related with the surfaces satisfying…
In a system with long-ranged correlations, the behavior of correlation functions is sensitive to the presence of a boundary. We show that surface deformations strongly modify this behavior as compared to a flat surface. The modified near…
We prove an improvement of flatness result for nonlocal minimal surfaces which is independent of the fractional parameter $s$ when $s\rightarrow 1^-$. As a consequence, we obtain that all the nonlocal minimal cones are flat and that all the…
In this work we generalize the etching model (Mello et al 2001 Phys. Rev. E 63 041113) to d + 1 dimensions. The dynamic exponents of this model are compatible with those of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. We investigate the…
In this paper, we study $4$-dimensional complete hypersurfaces with $w$-constant mean curvature in the unit sphere. We give a lower bound of the scalar curvature for $4$-dimensional complete hypersurfaces with $w$-constant mean curvature.…
