Paper studies singularities of timelike minimal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space.

We study surfaces of constant positive Gauss curvature in Euclidean 3-space via the harmonicity of the Gauss map. Using the loop group representation, we solve the regular and the singular geometric Cauchy problems for these surfaces, and use these solutions to compute several new examples. We give the criteria on the …

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 3-dimensional $D_4^\pm$ singularities. We give criteria for these singularities type…

Study geometric singular solutions of generalized Monge-Ampère equations.

We give an explicit handy (and cocycle-free) description of the groupoid of weak maps between two crossed-modules in terms of certain digrams of groups which we we call a {\em butterflies}. We define composition of butterflies and this way find a bicategory that is naturally biequivalent to the 2-category of pointed ho…

Sparse butterfly network replaces dense layers in neural networks, improving expressibility and performance.

Deep networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been successfully applied in various areas of machine learning as well as to challenging problems in other scientific and engineering fields. This paper introduces Butterfly-Net, a low-complexity CNN with structured and sparse cross-channel connection…

We introduce two invariants called the secondary cuspidal curvature and the bias on $5/2$-cuspidal edges, and investigate their basic properties. While the secondary cuspidal curvature is an analog of the cuspidal curvature of (ordinary) cuspidal edges, there are no invariants corresponding to the bias. We prove that t…

We study parallel surfaces and dual surfaces of cuspidal edges. We give concrete forms of principal curvature and principal direction for cuspidal edges. Moreover, we define ridge points for cuspidal edges by using those. We clarify relations between singularities of parallel and dual surfaces and differential geometri…

In L^3, cuspidal edges can have bounded mean curvature under specific conditions.

In unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), classifiers for the target domain (TD) are trained with clean labeled data from the source domain (SD) and unlabeled data from TD. However, in the wild, it is difficult to acquire a large amount of perfectly clean labeled data in SD given limited budget. Hence, we consider a new…

Along cuspidal edge singularities on a given surface in Euclidean 3-space, which can be parametrized by a regular space curve, a unit normal vector field $ν$ is well-defined as a smooth vector field of the surface. A cuspidal edge singular point is called generic if the osculating plane of the cuspidal edge (as a regul…

ButterflyFlow uses butterfly matrices for efficient invertible layers in normalizing flows.

Study of cuspidal edges on focal surfaces of regular surfaces.

We study the geometry of cuspidal $S_k$ singularities in $\mathbb R^3$ obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap $M$, i.e. the cuspidal $S_0$ singularity. We study geometrical invariants associated to $M$ and show that they determine it up to order 5.…

Study relates Gaussian curvature signs to cuspidal edge types and geometric invariants.

Characterizes no Butterfly arbitrage in SVI model parameters.

In the second, fourth and fifth authors' previous work, a duality on generic real analytic cuspidal edges in the Euclidean 3-space $\boldsymbol R^3$ preserving their singular set images and first fundamental forms, was given. Here, we call this an `isometric duality'. When the singular set image has no symmetries and d…

We give useful criteria for S_1 singularities in the Mond classification table, and cuspidal S_k singularities. As applications, we give a simple proof of a result given by Mond and a characterization of cuspidal S_k singularities for the composition of a cuspidal edge and a fold map indicated by Arnol'd for the case k…

Geometric study of cuspidal $S_1$ singularities using diffeomorphisms and isometries.

Maxfaces can have cuspidal edges near certain singularities.

We study differential geometric properties of cuspidal edges with boundary. There are several differential geometric invariants which are related with the behavior of the boundary in addition to usual differential geometric invariants of cuspidal edges. We study the relation of these invariants with several other invar…

We give a normal form of the cuspidal edge which uses only diffeomorphisms on the source and isometries on the target. Using this normal form, we study differential geometric invariants of cuspidal edges which determine them up to order three. We also clarify relations between these invariants.

We shall introduce the singular curvature function on cuspidal edges of surfaces, which is related to the Gauss-Bonnet formula and which characterizes the shape of cuspidal edges. Moreover, it is closely related to the behavior of the Gaussian curvature of a surface near cuspidal edges and swallowtails.

The study of symplectic fillings for rational cuspidal curves.

We use invariants of Hendricks and Manolescu coming from involutive Heegaard Floer theory to find constraints on possible configurations of singular points of a rational cuspidal curve of odd degree in the projective plane. We show that the results do not carry over to rational cuspidal curves of even degree.

We define cuspidal curvature $κ_c$ (resp. normalized cuspidal curvature $μ_c$) along cuspidal edges (resp. at swallowtail singularity) in Riemannian $3$-manifolds, and show that it gives a coefficient of the divergent term of the mean curvature function. Moreover, we show that the product $κ_Π$ called the product curva…

Structured CNN designed using the prior information of problems potentially improves efficiency over conventional CNNs in various tasks in solving PDEs and inverse problems in signal processing. This paper introduces BNet2, a simplified Butterfly-Net and inline with the conventional CNN. Moreover, a Fourier transform i…

We show that the singularities of spacelike maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space generically consist of cuspidal edges, swallowtails and cuspidal cross caps. The same result holds for spacelike mean curvature one surfaces in de Sitter 3-space. To prove these, we shall give a simple criterion for a given singul…

Formula conjectured for rational cuspidal curves in projective plane.

We show how to integrate a weak morphism of Lie algebra crossed-modules to a weak morphism of Lie 2-groups. To do so we develop a theory of butterflies for 2-term L_infty algebras. In particular, we obtain a new description of the bicategory of 2-term L_infty algebras. We use butterflies to give a functorial constructi…

Letting $C$ be a compact $C^ω$-curve embedded in $\boldsymbol R^3$ ($C^ω$ means real analyticity), we consider a $C^ω$-cuspidal edge $f$ along $C$. When $C$ is non-closed, in the authors' previous works, the local existence of three distinct cuspidal edges along $C$ whose first fundamental forms coincide with that of $…

Timelike minimal surfaces in Lorentzian Heisenberg group have singular points.

We study rational cuspidal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces. We provide two obstructions for the existence of rational cuspidal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces with prescribed types of singular points. The first result comes from Heegaard--Floer theory and is a generalization of a result by Livingston and the first author. …

This note gives a correction to the proof of the main result of "Harmonic representatives for cuspidal cohomology classes" by J. Dodziuk, J. McGowan and Peter Perry, an article that appeared in Serge Lang memorial volume.

In this paper we prove existence and uniqueness of a CMC foliation in asymptotically cuspidal manifolds. Moreover, we study the isoperimetric problem in this case. Our proof does not require any curvature assumption and it holds for any dimension.

We compute the differential geometric invariants of cuspidal edges on flat surfaces in hyperbolic $3$-space and in de Sitter space. Several dualities of invariants are pointed out.

Support Vector Regression (SVR) has achieved high performance on forecasting future behavior of random systems. However, the performance of SVR models highly depends upon the appropriate choice of SVR parameters. In this study, a novel BOA-SVR model based on Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) is presented. The perf…

In this paper we test for the sensitive dependence on initial conditions (the so called "butterfly effect") of energy futures time series (heating oil, natural gas), and thus the determinism of those series. This paper is distinguished from previous studies in the following points: first, we reread existent works in th…
