New necessary and sufficient conditions are proposed for the stability investigation of dynamical systems using the flow and the divergence of the phase vector velocity. The obtained conditions generalize the well-known results of V.P.…
By variational methods, we prove existence of planar closed curves with prescribed curvature for some classes of curvature functions. The main difficulty is to obtain bounded Palais-Smale sequences. This is achieved by adding a parameter in…
In this article we develop and analyze novel iterative regularization techniques for the solution of systems of nonlinear ill--posed operator equations. The basic idea consists in considering separately each equation of this system and…
This article gives an alternative approach to the self-shrinking and self-expanding solutions of the curve shortening flow, which are related to singularity formation of the mean curvature flow. The motivation for the self-similar solutions…
We study the evolution of a Jordan curve on the plane by curvature flow, also known as curve shortening flow, and by level-set flow, which is a weak formulation of curvature flow. We show that the evolution of the curve depends continuously…
We explore the problem of stabilization of unstable periodic orbits in discrete nonlinear dynamical systems. This work proposes the generalization of predictive control method for resolving the stabilization problem. Our method embodies the…
The curve shortening flow is a geometric heat equation for curves and provides an accessible setting to illustrate many important concepts from nonlinear partial differential equations, including maximum principle estimates, monotonicity…
In this paper we investigate a time dependent family of plane closed Jordan curves evolving in the normal direction with a velocity which is assumed to be a function of the curvature, tangential angle and position vector of a curve. We…
The metric for plane gravitational waves is quantized within the Hamiltonian framework, using a Dirac constraint quantization and the self-dual field variables proposed by Ashtekar. The z axis (direction of travel of the waves) is taken to…
We formulate an isoperimetric deformation of curves on the Minkowski plane, which is governed by the defocusing mKdV equation. Two classes of exact solutions to the defocusing mKdV equation are also presented in terms of the $\tau$…
Different ways to achieve the stabilization of a linear z-pinch by a superimposed shear flow are analyzed. They are: 1) Axial shear flow proposed by Arber and Howell with the pinch discharge in its center, and experimentally tested by…
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 we address anisotropic and inhomogeneous mean curvature flows with forcing and mobility, and show that the minimizing movements scheme converges to level set/viscosity solutions and to distributional solutions \textit{\`a la}…
We consider the evolution of hypersurfaces on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ by their mean curvature. We prove a differential Harnack inequality for any weakly convex solution to the mean curvature flow. As an application, by applying…
We present two types of self-similar shrinking solutions of positive genus for the crystalline mean curvature flow in three dimensions analogous to the solutions known for the standard mean curvature flow. We use them to test a numerical…
In this paper we discuss novel numerical schemes for the computation of the curve shortening and mean curvature flows that are based on special reparametrizations. The main idea is to use special solutions to the harmonic map heat flow in…
This paper considers and proposes some algorithms to compute the mean curvature flow under topological changes. Instead of solving the fully nonlinear partial differential equations based on the level set approach, we propose some…
In this paper we consider finite element approaches to computing the mean curvature vector and normal at the vertices of piecewise linear triangulated surfaces. In particular, we adopt a stabilization technique which allows for first order…
We present a new implementation of anisotropic mean curvature flow for contour recognition. Our procedure couples the mean curvature flow of planar closed smooth curves, with an external field from a potential of point-wise charges. This…
General area-preserving motion of polygonal curves is formulated as a system of ODEs. Solution polygonal curves belong to a prescribed polygonal class, which is similar to the admissible class used in the crystalline curvature flow. The…
