In this paper, by using new auxiliary functions, we study a class of contracting flows of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $r^{\frac{\alpha}{\beta}}\sigma_k^{\frac{1}{\beta}}$, where $\sigma_k$ is the…

We characterize embedded $\C^1$ hypersurfaces of $\R^n$ as the only locally closed sets with continuously varying flat tangent cones whose measure-theoretic-multiplicity is at most $m<3/2$. It follows then that any (topological)…

We show that all the automorphisms of the symmetric product Sym^d(X), d>2g-2, of a smooth projective curve X of genus g>2 are induced by automorphisms of X.

In [3], it is proved that the quotient of an abelian variety $A$ by a finite order automorphism $g$ is uniruled if and only if some power of $g$ satisfies a numerical condition $0<\age(g^k)<1$. In this paper, we show that $\age(g^k)=1$ is…

We characterise smooth curves in a smooth cubic threefold whose blow-ups produce a weak-Fano threefold. These are curves $C$ of genus $g$ and degree $d$, such that (i) $2(d-5) \le g$ and $d\le 6$; (ii) $C$ does not admit a 3-secant line in…

Optimal maps, solutions to the optimal transportation problems, are completely determined by the corresponding c-convex potential functions. In this paper, we give simple sufficient conditions for a smooth function to be c-convex when the…

We show that a fluid-flow interpretation of Service Curve Earliest Deadline First (SCED) scheduling simplifies deadline derivations for this scheduler. By exploiting the recently reported isomorphism between min-plus and max-plus network…

We consider immersions admitting uniform graph representations over the affine tangent space over a ball of fixed radius r>0. We show that for sufficiently small C^0-norm of the graph functions, each graph function is smooth with small…

In this paper, we introduce a framework of $(\alpha,\beta)$-flows on triangulated manifolds with two and three dimensions, which unifies several discrete curvature flows previously defined in the literature.

Let $C_1,C_2\subseteq\mathbb{G}_m^N(\mathbb{C})$ be irreducible closed algebraic curves, with $N\geq 3$. Suppose $C_1$ is not contained in an algebraic subgroup of $\mathbb{G}_m^N(\mathbb{C})$ of dimension $1$ and $C_1\cup C_2$ is not…

In this paper we introduce the branched $\alpha$-flows on closed surfaces with Euler characteristic \(\chi \leq 0\). Based on the strict convexity of the branched $\alpha$-potentials, we establish the long time existence and convergence of…

This paper gives a framework to study a continuum limit of a gradient flow on a graph where the number of vertices increases in an appropriate way. As examples we prove the convergence of a discrete total variation flow and a discrete…

We give a proof of the "five gradients inequality" of Optimal Transportation Theory for general costs of the form $c(x,y)=h(x-y)$ where $h$ is a $C^1$ strictly convex radially symmetric function.

We give a sharp bound on the number of automorphisms of a stable curve of a given genus and describe all curves attaining this bound.

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, and let $F:M \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function on $M$. We show the following holds generically for the function $F$: for each maximum $p$ of $F$, there exist two minima, denoted by $m_+(p)$…

We prove that every $C^1$ three-dimensional flow with positive topological entropy can be $C^1$ approximated by flows with homoclinic orbits. This extends a previous result for $C^1$ surface diffeomorphisms \cite{g}.

It is shown that the solution maps of an abstract functional differential equations (FDEs) are $\alpha$-contractions in the phase space equipped with an equivalent norm under appropriate assumptions. This result can be applied to…

Imposing some conditions on derivatives of the known functions, using the Fiber Contraction Theorem we prove the existence of $C^1$ solutions of a class of iterative functional equations which involves iterates of the unknown functions and…

The equation of a motion of curves in the projective plane is deduced. Local flows are defined in terms of polynomial differential functions. A family of local flows inducing the Kaup-Kupershmidt hierarchy is constructed. The integration of…

We consider the 1-harmonic flow of maps from a bounded domain into a submanifold of a Euclidean space, i.e. the gradient flow of the total variation functional restricted to maps taking values in the manifold. We restrict ourselves to…
