We consider minimising $p$-harmonic maps from three-dimensional domains to the real projective plane, for $1<p<2$. These maps arise as least-energy configurations in variational models for nematic liquid crystals. We show that the singular…

Algorithmic methods for the explicit inversion of the indefinite double covering maps are proposed. These are based on either the Givens decomposition or the polar decomposition of the given matrix in the proper, indefinite orthogonal group…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of the sphere S^n to itself can be decomposed into bi-Lipschitz mappings of small isometric distortion and which move points a small amount in the spherical metric.

We establish two-point distortion theorems for sense-preserving planar harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline{g}$ which satisfies the univalence criteria in the unit disc such that, Becker's and Nehari`s harmonic version. In addition, we find the…

Morse functions with exactly two singular points on homotopy spheres and canonical projections of spheres are generalized as special generic maps. A special generic map is, roughly, a smooth map represented as the composition of a smooth…

We present an algorithm for creating contiguous cartograms using meshes. We use numerical optimization to minimize cartographic error and distortion by transforming the mesh vertices. The vertices can either be optimized in the plane or…

We present a construction method for triharmonic maps to spheres. In particular, we show that for any $m\in\mathbb{N}$ with $m\geq 3$ there exists a triharmonic map from $\mathbb{R}^m\setminus\{0\}$ into a round sphere. In addition, we…

The reflection map introduced by D'Angelo is applied to deduce simpler descriptions of nondegeneracy conditions for sphere maps and to the study of infinitesimal deformations of sphere maps. It is shown that the dimension of the space of…

We present in this paper a framework which leverages the underlying topology of a data set, in order to produce appropriate coordinate representations. In particular, we show how to construct maps to real and complex projective spaces,…

For a pointed topological space $X$, we use an inductive construction of a simplicial resolution of $X$ by wedges of spheres to construct a "higher homotopy structure" for $X$ (in terms of chain complexes of spaces). This structure is then…

Let $M$ be a compact surface and $P$ be a one dimensional manifold without boundary, that is the line $\mathbb{R}^1$ or a circle $S^1$. The classification of path-components of the space of Morse maps from $M$ into $P$ was recently obtained…

We analyse the singularity formation of congruences of solutions of systems of second order PDEs via the construction of \emph{shape maps}. The trace of such maps represents a congruence volume whose collapse we study through an appropriate…

In this paper, we study diagonal maps between spheres given by two homogeneous polynomial maps between spheres, defined on the same domain sphere. First we find their bitension field, then we give a method for generating proper biharmonic…

Biharmonic and conformal-biharmonic maps are two fourth-order generalizations of the well-studied notion of harmonic maps in Riemannian geometry. In this article we consider maps into the Euclidean sphere and investigate a geometric…

Conformal mapping may be the best-known topic in complex analysis. Any simply connected nonempty domain $\Omega$ in the complex plane ${{\mathbb{C}}}$ (assuming $\Omega\ne {{\mathbb{C}}}$) can be mapped bijectively to the unit disk by an…

We construct complete nonorientable minimal surfaces whose Gauss map omits two points of the projective plane. This result proves that Fujimoto's theorem is sharp in nonorientable case.

We generalise the concept of duality to systems of ordinary difference equations (or maps). We propose a procedure to construct a chain of systems of equations which are dual, with respect to an integral $H$, to the given system, by…

We study bipartite maps on the plane with one infinite face and one face of perimeter 2. At first we consider the problem of their enumeration an then study the connection between the combinatorial structure of a map and the degree of its…

The aim of this paper is to prove that every continuous map from a compact subset of a real algebraic variety into a sphere can be approximated by piecewise-regular maps of class C^k, where k is an arbitrary integer.

Given two circle patterns of the same combinatorics in the plane, the M\"{o}bius transformations mapping circumdisks of one to the other induces a $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$-valued function on the dual graph. Such a function plays the role of an…
