Study the geometry and dynamics of skew evolutes and involutes, related to bicycle kinematics.

We study the evolution equations for a regularized version of Dirac-harmonic maps from closed Riemannian surfaces. We establish the existence of a global weak solution for the regularized problem, which is smooth away from finitely many singularities. Moreover, we discuss the convergence of the evolution equations and …

We solve the differentiability problem for the evolution map in Milnor's infinite dimensional setting. We first show that the evolution map of each $C^k$-semiregular Lie group $G$ (for $k\in \mathbb{N}\sqcup\{\mathrm{lip},\infty\}$) admits a particular kind of sequentially continuity $-$ called Mackey k-continuity. We …

The evolute of a smooth curve in an m-dimensional Euclidean space is the locus of centers of its osculating spheres, and the evolute of a spatial polygon is the polygon whose consecutive vertices are the centers of the spheres through the consecutive (m+1)-tuples of vertices of the original polygon. We study the iterat…

We study the evolution equations for a regularized version of Dirac-geodesics, which are the one-dimensional version of Dirac-harmonic maps. We show that for the regularization being sufficiently large, the evolution equations subconverge to a regularized Dirac-geodesic. In the end, we discuss the limiting process of r…

The paper extends Cartan development to infinite dimensional Lie groups.

Paper studies heat flow for maps on manifolds, avoiding singularities.

An array system of coupled maps is proposed as a model for economy evolution. The local dynamics of each map or agent is controlled by two parameters. One of them represents the growth capacity of the agent and the other one is a control term representing the local environmental pressure which avoids an exponential gro…

The paper proposes a method to learn evolving multivariate distributions from sample paths.

We study iterations of two classical constructions, the evolutes and involutes of plane curves, and we describe the limiting behavior of both constructions on a class of smooth curves with singularities given by their support functions. Next we study two kinds of discretizations of these constructions: the curves are r…

We study spacelike hypersurfaces in anti-De Sitter spacetime that evolve by the Lagrangian angle of their Gauß maps.

Consider vector valued harmonic maps of at most linear growth, defined on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. For the norm square of the pull-back of the target volume form by such maps, we report a strong maximum principle, and equalities among its supremum, its asymptotic ave…

The paper proposes an evolution-based approach to estimate causal effects in interference networks without fully observing the network structure.

Develops a machine learning method for parameter estimation in branching processes models.

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 evolution equation, akin to Raychaudhuri's equation. We develop the necessary g…

We construct a general procedure to extract the exclusive Racah matrices S and \bar S from the inclusive 3-strand mixing matrices by the evolution method and apply it to the first simple representations R =[1], [2], [3] and [2,2]. The matrices S and \bar S relate respectively the maps (R\otimes R)\otimes \bar R\longrig…

We solve the regularity problem for Milnor's infinite dimensional Lie groups in the $C^0$-topological context, and provide necessary and sufficient regularity conditions for the (standard) $C^k$-topological setting. We prove that the evolution map is $C^0$-continuous on its domain $\textit{iff}\hspace{1pt}$ the Lie gro…

We consider the mean curvature flow of the graph of a smooth map $f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2$ between two-dimensional Euclidean spaces. If $f$ satisfies an area-decreasing property, the solution exists for all times and the evolving submanifold stays the graph of an area-decreasing map $f_t$. Further, we prove unifo…

Paper confirms Thom's conjecture for nonlinear evolutions on manifolds.

In this paper we study the Teichmüller harmonic map flow as introduced by Rupflin and Topping [15]. It evolves pairs of maps and metrics $(u,g)$ into branched minimal immersions, or equivalently into weakly conformal harmonic maps, where $u$ maps from a fixed closed surface $M$ with metric $g$ to a general target manif…

New heat flow for harmonic maps avoids singularities but not bubbles.

Some optimization problems coming from the Differential Geometry, as for example, the minimal submanifolds problem and the harmonic maps problem are solved here via interior solutions of appropriate multitime optimal control problems. Section 1 underlines some science domains where appear multitime optimal control prob…

In this article we give a complete description of the evolution of an area decreasing map $f:M\to N$ induced by its mean curvature in the situation where $M$ and $N$ are complete Riemann surfaces with bounded geometry, $M$ being compact, for which their sectional curvatures $σ_M$, $σ_N$ satisfy $\minσ_M\ge\supσ_N$.

Motivation. Protein contact map describes the pairwise spatial and functional relationship of residues in a protein and contains key information for protein 3D structure prediction. Although studied extensively, it remains very challenging to predict contact map using only sequence information. Most existing methods pr…

This paper gives two methods for constructing associative 3-folds in R^7, based around the fundamental idea of evolution equations, and uses these methods to construct examples of these geometric objects. The paper is a generalisation of the work by Joyce in math.DG/0008021, math.DG/0008155, math.DG/0010036 and math.DG…

A microscopic approach to macroeconomic features is intended. A model for macroeconomic behavior under heterogeneous spatial economic conditions is reviewed. A birth-death lattice gas model taking into account the influence of an economic environment on the fitness and concentration evolution of economic entities is nu…

We present a framework for recovering/approximating unknown time-dependent partial differential equation (PDE) using its solution data. Instead of identifying the terms in the underlying PDE, we seek to approximate the evolution operator of the underlying PDE numerically. The evolution operator of the PDE, defined in i…

The normal map of curves is analyzed as a vector field on a cylinder.

In this paper, we investigate the Gauss maps of a Ricci-mean curvature flow. A Ricci-mean curvature flow is a coupled equation of a mean curvature flow and a Ricci flow on the ambient manifold. Ruh and Vilms proved that the Gauss map of a minimal submanifold in a Euclidean space is a harmonic map, and Wang extended thi…

We show global existence theorems for Gowdy symmetric spacetimes with type IIB stringy matter. The areal and constant mean curvature time coordinates are used. Before coming to that, it is shown that a wave map describes the evolution of this system.

This paper uses bandit theory and Thompson Sampling to optimize protein sequences.

We investigate length decreasing maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $M$, $N$ of dimensions $m\ge 2$ and $n$, respectively. Assuming that $M$ is compact and $N$ is complete such that $$\sec_M>-σ\quad\text{and}\quad{\Ric}_M\ge(m-1)σ\ge(m-1)\sec_N\ge-μ,$$ where $σ$, $μ$ are positive constants, we show that the m…

Jets of mappings introduced by Ehresmann are still the most useful objects for formulating geometric frameworks of physical theories. We are proposing modifications designed to make jet theory less dependent on local coordinates. Extensions of the theory with applications to the calculus of variations and mechanics are…

Let f:Σ_1 --> Σ_2 be a map between compact Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. This article considers the evolution of the graph of f in the product of Σ_1 and Σ_2 by the mean curvature flow. Under suitable conditions on the curvature of Σ_1 and Σ_2 and the differential of the initial map, we show that the flow…

Let $N$ be a complete manifold with bounded geometry, such that $\sec_N\le -σ< 0$ for some positive constant $σ$. We investigate the mean curvature flow of the graphs of smooth length-decreasing maps $f:\mathbb{R}^m\to N$. In this case, the solution exists for all times and the evolving submanifold stays the graph of a…

Also, a covariant phase space interpretation of the coa…
