In this paper, we show that the inverse anisotropic mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, initiating from a star-shaped, strictly $F$-mean convex hypersurface, exists for all time and after rescaling the flow converges exponentially fast to a rescaled Wulff shape in the $C^\infty$ topology. As an application, we p…

Curvature estimate for stable free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in wedge-shaped manifolds.

In shape analysis, the concept of shape spaces has always been vague, requiring a case-by-case approach for every new type of shape. In this paper, we give a general definition for an abstract space of shapes in a manifold. This notion encompasses every shape space studied so far in the literature, and offers a rigorou…

In this paper we introduce a Guan-Li type volume preserving mean curvature flow for free boundary hypersurfaces in a ball. We give a concept of star-shaped free boundary hypersurfaces in a ball and show that the Guan-Li type mean curvature flow has long time existence and converges to a free boundary spherical cap, pro…

We use tools from geometric statistics to analyze the usual estimation procedure of a template shape. This applies to shapes from landmarks, curves, surfaces, images etc. We demonstrate the asymptotic bias of the template shape estimation using the stratified geometry of the shape space. We give a Taylor expansion of t…

Optimal inequality for free boundary hypersurfaces in convex domains.

The class of surfaces in 3-space possessing nontrivial deformations which preserve principal directions and principal curvatures (or, equivalently, the shape operator) was investigated by Finikov and Gambier as far back as in 1933. We review some of the known examples and results, demonstrate the integrability of the c…

Given a positive function F on Sn which satisfies a convexity condition, we introduce the r-th anisotropic mean curvature Mr for hypersurfaces in Rn+1 which is a generalization of the usual r-th mean curvature Hr. We get integral formulas of Minkowski type for compact hypersurfaces in Rn+1. We give some new characteriz…

Study on shape optimization for specific eigenvalue problems on domains.

We study the relation between the centro-affine geometry of star-shaped planar curves and the projective geometry of parametrized maps into $\RP^1$. We show that projectivization induces a map between differential invariants and a bi-Poisson map between Hamiltonian structures. We also show that a Hamiltonian evolution …

By using two different invariants for the Rubik's Magic puzzle, one of metric type, the other of topological type, we can dramatically reduce the universe of constructible configurations of the puzzle. Finding the set of actually constructible shapes remains however a challenging task, that we tackle by first reducing …

The problem of immersing a simply connected surface with a prescribed shape operator is discussed. From classical and more recent work, it is known that, aside from some special degenerate cases, such as when the shape operator can be realized by a surface with one family of principal curves being geodesic, the space o…

We prove that every biconservative Lorentz hypersurface $M_{1}^{n}$ in $E_{1}^{n+1}$ whose shape operator has complex eigen values with at most five distinct prin…

This article introduces planar shape signatures derived from homology nerves, which are intersecting 1-cycles in a collection of homology groups endowed with a proximal relator (set of nearness relations) that includes a descriptive proximity. A 1-cycle is a closed, connected path with a zero boundary in a simplicial c…

The importance of training robust neural network grows as 3D data is increasingly utilized in deep learning for vision tasks in robotics, drone control, and autonomous driving.

As applications, we get a formula for the volumes o…

Second order Sobolev metrics are a useful tool in the shape analysis of curves.
