A perimeter-based angle measure in Minkowski planes

Measuring angles in the Euclidean plane is a well-known topic, but for general normed planes there exists a variety of different concepts. These can be of a special kind, e.g. also preserving special orthogonality types. But these concepts are no angle measures in the sense of measure theory since they are not additive. This motivates us to define a new angle measure for normed planes that is in fact a measure in the sense of measure theory. Furthermore, we look at related types of rotation and reflection.     

Isolated resonances and nonlinear damping

We analyze isolated resonance curves (IRCs) in single-degree-of-freedom systems possessing nonlinear damping. Through the combination of singularity theory and the averaging method, the onset and merging of IRCs, which coincide to isola and simple bifurcation singularities, respectively, can be analytically predicted. Numerical simulations confirm the accuracy of the analytical developments. Another important finding of this paper is that we unveil a geometrical connection between the topology of the damping force and IRCs. Specifically, we demonstrate that extremas and zeros of the damping force correspond to the appearance and merging of IRCs. Considering a damping force possessing several minima and maxima confirms the general validity of the analytical result. It also evidences a very complex scenario for which different IRCs are created, co-exist and then merge together to form a super IRC which eventually merges with the main resonance peak.     

Parametrix for the localization of the Bergman metric on strictly pseudoconvex domains

We give the parameter version of a localization theorem for the Bergman metric near the boundary points of strictly pseudoconvex domains. The approximation theorem for square integrable holomorphic functions on such domains in the spirit of Graham-Kerzman is proved in the hereby paper, as well.
