In this paper, we give the generic classification of the singularities of 3-parameter line congruences in $\mathbb{R}^4$. We also classify the generic singularities of Blaschke (affine) normal congruences.
Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…
Line congruences are $2$-dimensional families of lines in $3$-space. The singularities that appear in generic line congruences are folds, cusps and swallowtails. In this paper we give a geometric description of these singularities. The main…
In this paper we consider convex improper affine maps of the 3-dimensional affine space and classify their singularities. The main tool developed is a generating family with properties that closely resembles the area function for non-convex…
Using standard methods for studying singularities of projections and of contacts, we classify the stable singularities of affine $\lambda$-equidistants of $n$-dimensional closed submanifolds of $\mathbb R^q$, for $q\leq 2n$, whenever…
We study the equation for improper (parabolic) affine spheres from the view point of contact geometry and provide the generic classification of singularities appearing in geometric solutions to the equation as well as their duals. We also…
For the implicit systems of first order ordinary differential equations on the plane there is presented the complete local classification of generic singularities of family of its phase curves up to smooth orbital equivalence. Besides the…
Generic singularities of line fields have been studied for lines of principal curvature of embedded surfaces. In this paper we propose an approach to classify generic singularities of general line fields on 2D manifolds. The idea is to…
Singularities of even smooth functions are studied. A classification of singular points which appear in typical parametric families of even functions with at most five parameters is given. Bifurcations of singular points near a caustic…
Special generic maps are generalizations of Morse functions with exactly two singular points on spheres and canonical projections of unit spheres. They restrict the manifolds of the domains strongly in considerable cases and are important…
In this paper we study the general affine geometry of curves in affine space $A^2$. For a regular plane curves we define two kinds of moving frames. The first is of minimal order in all moving frames.The second is the Frenet moving frame.…
For a smooth surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ this article contains local study of certain affine equidistants, that is loci of points at a fixed ratio between points of contact of parallel tangent planes (but excluding ratios 0 and 1 where the…
We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups ${\rm GA}(2)={\rm GL}(2,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^2$ and ${\rm GA}(3)={\rm GL}(3,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^3$,…
Two families of general affine surface areas are introduced. Basic properties and affine isoperimetric inequalities for these new affine surface areas as well as for $L_{\phi}$ affine surface areas are established.
A distance-squared function is one of the most significant functions in the application of singularity theory to differential geometry. Moreover, distance-squared mappings are naturally extended mappings of distance-squared functions,…
We investigate singularities of all parallel surfaces to a given regular surface. In generic context, the types of singularities of parallel surfaces are cuspidal edge, swallowtail, cuspidal lips, cuspidal beaks, cuspidal butterfly and…
The generic singularities and bifurcations are classified for one-parameter families of curves with frames in a space form, the Euclidean space, the elliptic space or the hyperbolic space via projective geometry. Two kinds of frames are…
We provide a complete classification of the singularities of cluster algebras of finite cluster type. This extends our previous work about the case of trivial coefficients. Additionally, we classify the singularities of cluster algebras for…
We study curve singularities in a smooth surface relative to a smooth boundary curve. We consider the semiuniversal deformations and equisingular deformations of curves with a fixed local intersection number $w$ with the boundary, and prove…
Given a pair of planar curves, one can define its generalized area distance, a concept that generalizes the area distance of a single curve. In this paper, we show that the generalized area distance of a pair of planar curves is an improper…
