Near a singular point of a surface or a curve, geometric invariants diverge in general, and the orders of diverge, in particular the boundedness about these invariants represent geometry of the surface and the curve. In this paper, we study…
We introduce an estimator for the curvature of curves and surfaces by using finite sample points drawn from sampling a probability distribution that has support on the curve or surface. First we give an algorithm for estimation of the…
This paper outlines a methodology for constructing a geometrically smooth interpolatory curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ applicable to oriented and flattenable points with $d\ge 2$. The construction involves four essential components: local…
We study geodetic lines on a surface generated by a small deformation of the standard 2D-sphere. We construct an auxiliary hamiltonian system with the view of describing geodetic coils and almost closed geodesics, by using the fact that…
This paper proposes to generalize linear subdivision schemes to nonlinear subdivision schemes for curve and surface modeling by refining vertex positions together with refinement of unit control normals at the vertices. For each round of…
We investigate whether there is a relationship between the discrete Bakry-\'{E}mery curvature of a graph and the smooth curvature of an ambient surface into which the graph is embedded geodesically. As we used weighted graphs as test…
We present a nodal interpolation method to approximate a subdivision model. The main application is to model and represent curved geometry without gaps and preserving the required simulation intent. Accordingly, we devise the technique to…
Gaussian curvature is an important geometric property of surfaces, which has been used broadly in mathematical modeling. Due to the full nonlinearity of the Gaussian curvature, efficient numerical methods for models based on it are uncommon…
We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…
This paper proposes a method for computing the visible occluding contours of subdivision surfaces. The paper first introduces new theory for contour visibility of smooth surfaces. Necessary and sufficient conditions are introduced for when…
For the complex of curves of a closed orientable surface of genus $g$, $\mathcal{C}(S_{g>1})$, the notion of efficient geodesic in was introduced in arXiv:1408.4133. There it was established that there always exists (finitely many)…
This paper deals with finding surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are as close as possible to being flat and span a given contour such that the contour is a geodesic on the sought surface. We look for a surface which minimizes the total…
The behavior of geodesic curves on even seemingly simple surfaces can be surprisingly complex. In this paper we use the Hamiltonian formulation of the geodesic equations to analyze their integrability properties. In particular, we examine…
In discrete differential geometry, it is widely believed that the discrete Gaussian curvature of a polyhedral vertex star equals the algebraic area of its Gauss image. However, no complete proof has yet been described. We present an…
We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global…
We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An…
Some results about the geodesic boundary of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2\times \mathbb{R}$ are generalized for surfaces of constant mean curvature surfaces $H$, with $0\le H\le 1/2$.
For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…
The curve graphs are not locally finite. In this paper, we show that the curve graphs satisfy a property which is equivalent to graphs being uniformly locally finite via Masur--Minsky's subsurface projections. As a direct application of…
This article introduces a new approach to discrete curvature based on the concept of effective resistances. We propose a curvature on the nodes and links of a graph and present the evidence for their interpretation as a curvature. Notably,…
