In this article, we investigate Bertrand curves corresponding to the spherical images of the tangent, binormal, principal normal and Darboux indicatrices of a space curve in Euclidean 3-space. As a result, in case of a space curve is a general helix, we show that the curves corresponding to the spherical images of its …

Study on Bertrand lightcone framed curves in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space.

The method for approximation of planar curve by circular arcs with length preservation, proposed by I.Kh. Sabitov and A.V. Slovesnov, is analyzed. We extend the applicability of the method, and consider some corollaries, not related to the approximation problem. Inequalities for the length of a convex spiral arc with p…

We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix, a general helix or a slant helix.

This paper is about interpolating minimal surfaces between two real analytic curves, a and b, each of which are simple real analytic curves, using the Björling-Schwarz formula in the domain where it is valid, changing the normal distributions on inital curves. We insert curves $l_1,...l_L$ at specific locations and cla…

This paper introduces a novel mixture model-based approach for simultaneous clustering and optimal segmentation of functional data which are curves presenting regime changes. The proposed model consists in a finite mixture of piecewise polynomial regression models. Each piecewise polynomial regression model is associat…

This paper is devoted to the study of AW(k)-type curves according to the equiform differential geometry of the pseudo-Galilean space. We show that equiform Bertrand curves are circular helices or isotropic circles of the pseudo-Galilean space. Also, there are equiform Bertrand curves of AW(3) and weak AW(3)-types. More…

New distance comparison principle for curve shortening flow in higher dimensions.

Given a non circular spacial closed curve whose total torsion is an integer multiple of $2π$, we construct a germ of a smooth surface that contains it as a hyperbolic principal cycle.

Legendre curves are smooth plane curves which may have singular points, but still have a well defined smooth normal (and corresponding tangent) vector field. Because of the existence of singular points, the usual curvature concept for regular curves cannot be straightforwardly extended to these curves. However, Fukunag…

In this article we investigate a first order reparametrization-invariant Sobolev metric on the space of immersed curves. Motivated by applications in shape analysis where discretizations of this infinite-dimensional space are needed, we extend this metric to the space of Lipschitz curves, establish the wellposedness of…

We describe the curves of constant (geodesic) curvature and torsion in the three-dimensional round sphere. These curves are the trajectory of a point whose motion is the superposition of two circular motions in orthogonal planes. The global behavior may be periodic or the curve may be dense in a Clifford torus embedded…

We perform a geometric study of the equilibrium locus of the flow that models the diffusion process over a circular network of cells. We prove that when considering the set of all possible values of the parameters, the equilibrium locus is a smooth manifold with corners, while for a given value of the parameters, it is…

We provide a new proof of the classical result that any closed rectifiable Jordan curve Gamma in space being piecewise of class C^2 bounds at least one immersed minimal surface of disc-type, under the additional assumption that the total curvature of Gamma is smaller than 6*Pi. In contrast to the methods due to Osserma…

We describe a general family of curved-crease folding tessellations consisting of a repeating "lens" motif formed by two convex curved arcs. The third author invented the first such design in 1992, when he made both a sketch of the crease pattern and a vinyl model (pictured below). Curve fitting suggests that this init…

We show how to compute the circular area invariant of planar curves, and the spherical volume invariant of surfaces, in terms of line and surface integrals, respectively. We use the Divergence Theorem to express the area and volume integrals as line and surface integrals, respectively, against particular kernels; our r…

In this paper, we deals with isoperimetric-type inequalities for closed convex curves in the Euclidean plane R^2. We derive a family of parametric inequalities involving the following geometric functionals associated to a given convex curve with a simple Fourier series proof: length, area of the region included by the …

Let $K$ be a closed polygonal curve in $\RR^3$ consisting of $n$ line segments. Assume that $K$ is unknotted, so that it is the boundary of an embedded disk in $\RR^3$. This paper considers the question: How many triangles are needed to triangulate a Piecewise-Linear (PL) spanning disk of $K$? The main result exhibits …

Cyclidic nets are introduced as discrete analogs of curvature line parametrized surfaces and orthogonal coordinate systems. A 2-dimensional cyclidic net is a piecewise smooth $C^1$-surface built from surface patches of Dupin cyclides, each patch being bounded by curvature lines of the supporting cyclide. An explicit de…

In this paper we study the curvature flow of a curve in a plane endowed with a minkowskian norm whose unit ball is smooth. We show that many of the properties known in the euclidean case can be extended (with due adaptations) to this new situation. In particular, we show that simple, closed, strictly convex, smooth cur…

Based on the gauge analogue of the notion of Birkhoff orthogonality from Banach space theory, we study all curvature types of curves in gauge planes, thus g…

This paper establishes an interesting connection between the family of CMC surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb E_1^3$ and some specific families of elliptic curves. As a consequence of this connection, we show in the class of spacelike CMC surfaces of revolution in the $\mathbb E_1^3$, only spacelike cylinders and stand…
