We construct a branched center manifold in a neighborhood of a singular point of a $2$-dimensional integral current which is almost minimizing in a suitable sense. Our construction is the first half of an argument which shows the discreteness of the singular set for the following three classes of $2$-dimensional curren…

Classifies complex structures on specific nilpotent Lie algebras.

This is the second paper of a series of three on the regularity of higher codimension area minimizing integral currents. Here we perform the second main step in the analysis of the singularities, namely the construction of a center manifold, i.e. an approximate average of the sheets of an almost flat area minimizing cu…

The paper improves estimates of Gaussian curvature for minimal graphs over a unit disk.

Study shows certain toric arrangements have minimal topological complements.

We aim at explaining the most basic ideas underlying two fundamental results in the regularity theory of area minimizing oriented surfaces: De Giorgi's celebrated $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem and Almgren's center manifold. Both theorems will be proved in a very simplified situation, which however allows to illustra…

The main goal of the paper is to solve some problems about shadow for the sphere generalized on the case of the ellipsoid. Here, the essence of the problem is to find the the minimal number of non-overlapping balls with centers on the sphere which are not holding the center of the sphere and such that every line passin…

We construct a sequence of embedded minimal disks in a ball where the curvatures blow up only at the center. The sequence converges to a limit which is not smooth and not proper.

Equivalence proven between algebraic stability and geometric stability.

New minimal surfaces found with spherical curvature lines.

The (isothermic) compressibility of lattice knots can be examined as a model of the effects of topology and geometry on the compressibility of ring polymers. In this paper, the compressibility of minimal length lattice knots in the simple cubic, face centered cubic and body centered cubic lattices are determined. Our r…

Study on Funk geometry volume growth and polytope flags, verifying conjectures.

This is a survey on symplectic birational geometry. In arbitrary dimension, this subject is centered around the notion of uniruledness. In low dimensions, we will also discuss Kodaira dimension and minimality.

Analyzes branch points of area-minimizing currents with non-2 planar frequency.

We prove that curves indicated in the title exist. This results answers to a question posed by A.G.Vitushkin about 30 years ago. We also discuss the minimal number of boundary components of a curve in the unit ball passing through the center, under the condition that all these components are shorter than a given number…

CoCP optimizes prediction intervals by jointly learning center and radius, improving efficiency and coverage.

We study knots in $\mathbb{S}^3$ obtained by the intersection of a minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a small 3-sphere centered at a branch point. We construct examples of new minimal knots. In particular we show the existence of non-fibered minimal knots. We show that simple minimal knots are either reversible or …

The paper studies isoperimetric inequalities on warped product manifolds.

We consider a projection from the center of the unit sphere to a tangent space of it, the central projection, and study two area minimizing problems of the image of a closed subset in the sphere. One of the problems is the uniqueness of the tangent plane that minimizes the area for an arbitrary fixed subset. The other …

A novel k-means method for MNAR data improves clustering accuracy.

Proposes a new clustering method based on expectiles for non-spherical clusters.

We prove that, among the polygons in a punctured disc with fixed angles, the perimeter is minimized by the polygon with an inscribed horocycle centered at the puncture. We generalize this to a disc with a cone point and to an annulus with a geodesic boundary component and a complete end. Then we apply this result to de…

Almost perimeter-minimizing boundaries in plentiful groups can be approximated by Lipschitz graphs.

A centered innovation MA is equivalent to a digamma-link DARMA for bank-asset shares.

Finding the optimal $k$-means clustering is NP-hard in general and many heuristics have been designed for minimizing monotonically the $k$-means objective. We first show how to extend Lloyd's batched relocation heuristic and Hartigan's single-point relocation heuristic to take into account empty-cluster and single-poin…

Upper bound on singular set dimension for area-minimizing currents.

Spirals are not shortest paths in certain sub-Riemannian geometries.

By exploiting the property that the RBM log-likelihood function is the difference of convex functions, we formulate a stochastic variant of the difference of convex functions (DC) programming to minimize the negative log-likelihood. Interestingly, the traditional contrastive divergence algorithm is a special case of th…

Center identified in stated skein algebra for quantum traces.

Study finds Scherk type surfaces as extremals for zero-curvature minimal graphs.

The object of our investigation is a point that gives the maximum value of a potential with a strictly decreasing radially symmetric kernel. It defines a center of a body in Rm. When we choose the Riesz kernel or the Poisson kernel as the kernel, such centers are called a radial center or an illuminating center, respec…

We prove that any manifold diffeomorphic to $S^3$ and endowed with a generic metric contains at least two embedded minimal two-spheres. The existence of at least one minimal two-sphere was obtained by Simon-Smith in 1983. Our approach combines ideas from min-max theory and mean curvature flow. We also establish the exi…

In this study, we analyze the general canal surfaces in terms of the features flat, II-flat minimality and II-minimality, namely we study under which conditions the first and second Gauss and mean curvature vanishes, i.e. K=0, H=0, K_{II}=0 and H_{II} =0. We give a non-existence result for general canal surfaces in E^3…

Optimal noise excitation for linear system identification reduces sample complexity.

Constructs minimal hypersurfaces in S^4(1) by doubling equatorial S^3.

Let f:M->M be a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism such that all of its center leaves are compact. We prove that Sullivan's example of a circle foliation that has arbitrary long leaves cannot be the center foliation of f. This is proved by thorough study of the accessible boundaries of the center-stable and the center…

Quadratic memory is essential for optimal convex optimization queries.

It is proved that the Heisenberg group $\operatorname*{Nil}\nolimits_{3}$ with a balanced metric, the sum of the left and right invariant metrics, splits as a Riemannian product $\mathbb{T\times Z}$, where $\mathbb{T}$ is a totally geodesic surface and $\mathbb{Z}$ the center of $\operatorname*{Nil}$ It…

Sharp inequalities for curved surfaces and cones.

We investigate centers of a body (the closure of a bounded open set) defined as maximum points of potentials. In particular, we study centers defined by the Riesz potential and by Poisson's integral. These centers, in general, depend on parameters and move with respect to the parameters. We give a necessary and suffici…

A new method predicts electron density accurately from atom-centered models.

Outlier based Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) requires centering of the non-outliers. We show a "bias trick" that automatically centers these non-outliers. Using this bias trick we obtain the first RPCA algorithm that is optimal with respect to centering.

We prove the existence of a center, or continuous selection of a point, in the relative interior of $C^1$ embedded $k$-disks in Riemannian $n$-manifolds. If $k\le 3$ the center can be made equivariant with respect to the isometries of the manifold, and under mild assumptions the same holds for $k=4=n$. By contrast, for…

The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the paper develops a prediction model that identifies factors that determine the prob…
