Analytic dependence of riemann mappings for bounded domains and minimal surfaces

In this paper, we prove that the functional which takes a closed Lavrentiev curve to the corresponding Riemann mapping is locally Lipl on the set Ω of all closed Lavrentiev curves. This set is a subset of BMO(T). It is, however, not open in BMO(T). We also prove that the previous functional is analytic for certain classes of closed Lavrentiev curves, including the class of curves which have some symmetry with respect to the unit circle. These classes of curves are submanifolds of BMO(T). Finally, we consider the functional which takes a Lavrentiev curve (closed or not) in n-dimensional Euclidean space to the corresponding minimal surface, and we study the differentiability and analyticity of this functional on certain function spaces. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chains of subsemigroups

We show that if \(\mathcal{L}\) is a line in the plane containing a badly approximable vector, then almost every point in \(\mathcal{L}\) does not admit an improvement in Dirichlet’s theorem. Our proof relies on a measure classification result for certain measures invariant under a nonabelian two-dimensional group on the homogeneous space SL₃(?)/SL₃(?). Using the measure classification theorem, we reprove a result of Shah about planar nondegenerate curves (which are not necessarily analytic), and prove analogous results for the framework of Diophantine approximation with weights. We also show that there are line segments in ?³ which do contain badly approximable points, and for which all points do admit an improvement in Dirichlet’s theorem.     

Matching planar maps

The subject of this paper are algorithms for measuring the similarity of patterns of line segments in the plane, a standard problem in, e.g., computer vision, geographic information systems, etc. More precisely, we define feasible distance measures that reflect how close a given pattern H is to some part of a larger pattern G. These distance measures are generalizations of the well-known Fréchet distance for curves. We first give an efficient algorithm for the case that H is a polygonal curve and G is a geometric graph. Then, slightly relaxing the definition of distance measure, we give an algorithm for the general case where both, H and G, are geometric graphs.     

Commuting dual billiard maps

To a closed convex smooth curve in the plane the dual billiard transformation of its exterior corresponds: given a point outside of the curve, draw a tangent line to it through the point, and reflect the point in the point of tangency. We prove that if two curves are given, such that the corresponding dual billiard transformations commute, then the curves are concentric homothetic ellipses.     

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROJECTIVE GEOMETRIC AND RATIONAL QUADRATIC B-SPLINE CURVES

For two rational quadratic B-spline curves with same control vertexes, the cross ratio of four eollinear points are represented; which are any one of the vertexes, and the two points that the ray initialing from the vertex intersects with the corresponding segments of the twocurves, and the point the ray intersecting with the connecting line between the two neighboring vertexes. Different from rational quadratic Beeier curves, the value is generally related with the loeation of the ray, and the necessary and sufficient condition o5 the ratio being independent of the ray‘s loeation is showed. Alsn another cross ratio o5 the following four collinear points are suggested, i.e. one vertex, the points that the ray from the initlal vertex intersects respectivdy with the curve segmentt the line connecting the segments end points, and the line connecting the two neighboring vertexes. This cross ratio is concerned only whh the ray‘s location, butnot with the weights of the curve. Furthermore, the cross ratio is projective invariant under the projective transformation between the two segments.

Einige Bemerkungen zu den Gauss-Verteilungen auf lokalkompakten abelschen Gruppen

Let G be a connected locally compact abelian group and ν a symmetric Gaussian measure on G. We are concerned with the support of the measure ν and with the relation of ν to the Haar measure ω on G. It is shown that the support of ν is always a closed connected subgroup of G. On G there exists an absolutely continuous Gaussian measure (with respect to ω) if and only if G is locally connected and has a countable basis for its open sets. Special interest is given to Gaussian measures on toroidal groups.     

Continuity of the radius of convergence of differential equations on p-adic analytic curves

This paper deals with connections on non-archimedean, especially p-adic, analytic curves, in the sense of Berkovich. The curves must be compact but the connections are allowed to have a finite number of meromorphic singularities on them. For any choice of a semistable formal model of the curve, we define a geometric, intrinsic notion of normalized radius of convergence of a full set of local solutions as a function on the curve, with values in (0, 1]. For a sufficiently refined choice of the semistable model, we prove continuity, logarithmic concavity and logarithmic piece-wise linearity of that function. We introduce and characterize Robba connections, that is connections whose sheaf of solutions is constant on any open disk contained in the curve, precisely as it happens in the classical case.     

Curves as measured foliation on noncompact surfaces

In the present work, that regards the Thurston's theory, we prove that, if we choose a closed curve, how we wish, on a noncompact surface, it is always possible to construct a particular masured foliation that has the choosed curve like a leaf; we also prove this foliation has a remarkable property that makes very easy to mesure all homotopy classes of closed curves of our surface. To prove this statement we need some Propositions and some Lemma that we also demonstre.     

Segment representation of a subclass of co-planar graphs

A graph is a segment graph if its vertices can be mapped to line segments in the plane such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding line segments intersect. Kratochvíl and Kuběna asked the question of whether the complements of planar graphs, called co-planar graphs, are segment graphs. We show here that the complements of all partial 2-trees are segment graphs.     

Characterization and algorithms of curve map graphs

A curve map is a planar map obtained by dividing the Euclidean plane into a finite number of regions by a finite set of two-way infinite Jordan curves (every one dividing the plane in two regions) such that no two curves intersect in more than one point. A line map is a curve map obtained by Jordan curves being all straight lines. A graph is called a curve map graph respectively a line map graph if it is the dual of a curve map respectively of a line map.In this paper we give a characterization of the curve map graphs and we describe a polynomial time algorithm for their recognition.     

Positive open book decompositions of Stein fillable 3-manifolds along prescribed links

It is known by Loi and Piergallini that a closed, oriented, smooth 3-manifold is Stein fillable if and only if it has a positive open book decomposition. In the present paper we will show that for every link L in a Stein fillable 3-manifold there exists an additional knot L^′ to L such that the link L∪L^′ is the binding of a positive open book decomposition of the Stein fillable 3-manifold. To prove the assertion, we will use the divide, which is a generalization of real morsification theory of complex plane curve singularities, and 2-handle attachings along Legendrian curves.     

Locality and bounding-box quality of two-dimensional space-filling curves

Space-filling curves can be used to organise points in the plane into bounding-box hierarchies (such as R-trees). We develop measures of the bounding-box quality of space-filling curves that express how effective different space-filling curves are for this purpose. We give general lower bounds on the bounding-box quality measures and on locality according to Gotsman and Lindenbaum for a large class of space-filling curves. We describe a generic algorithm to approximate these and similar quality measures for any given curve. Using our algorithm we find good approximations of the locality and the bounding-box quality of several known and new space-filling curves. Surprisingly, some curves with relatively bad locality by Gotsman and Lindenbaum's measure, have good bounding-box quality, while the curve with the best-known locality has relatively bad bounding-box quality.     

Cuspidal representations in the cohomology of Deligne–Lusztig varieties for GL(2) over finite rings

We define closed subvarieties of some Deligne–Lusztig varieties for GL(2) over finite rings and study their ´etale cohomology. As a result, we show that cuspidal representations appear in it. Such closed varieties are studied in [Lus2] in a special case. We can do the same things for a Deligne–Lusztig variety associated to a quaternion division algebra over a non-archimedean local field. A product of such varieties can be regarded as an affine bundle over a curve. The base curve appears as an open subscheme of a union of irreducible components of the stable reduction of the Lubin–Tate curve in a special case. Finally, we state some conjecture on a part of the stable reduction using the above varieties. This is an attempt to understand bad reduction of Lubin–Tate curves via Deligne–Lusztig varieties.     

Illumination in the presence of opaque line segments in the plane

What is the minimal number of light sources which is always sufficient to illuminate the plane in the presence of n disjoint opaque line segments? For n5, O'Rourke proved that 2n/3 light sources are always sufficient and sometimes necessary, if light sources can be placed on the line segments and thus they can illuminate both sides of a segment.

We prove that 2(n+1)/3 light sources are always sufficient and sometimes necessary, if light sources cannot be placed on the line segments. An O(nlogn) time algorithm is presented which allocates at most 2(n+1)/3 light sources collectively illuminating the plane.     

Smooth polynomial approximation of spiral arcs

Constructing fair curve segments using parametric polynomials is difficult due to the oscillatory nature of polynomials. Even NURBS curves can exhibit unsatisfactory curvature profiles. Curve segments with monotonic curvature profiles, for example spiral arcs, exist but are intrinsically non-polynomial in nature and thus difficult to integrate into existing CAD systems. A method of constructing an approximation to a generalised Cornu spiral (GCS) arc using non-rational quintic Bézier curves matching end points, end slopes and end curvatures is presented. By defining an objective function based on the relative error between the curvature profiles of the GCS and its Bézier approximation, a curve segment is constructed that has a monotonic curvature profile within a specified tolerance.     

On evolutoids of planar convex curves

There are many interesting curves which we can associate with a given convex curve, however, in this work we are especially interested in studying the relations between the given curve and its evolutoids: that is, the curve obtained as the envelope of lines making a fixed angle with the normal line at every point of the curve. The first result is an inequality between the area enclosed by the given curve and the area enclosed by its evolutoid. Also, we proved that a convex curve is of constant width (centrally symmetric) if and only if its evolutoid for a fixed angle is of constant width (centrally symmetric).     

Closed Curves in E 2 and S 2 Whose Total Squared Curvatures and Almost Minimal

The total squared curvature of a closed plane curve is minimized by a covering of a circle, if the rotation number of the curve is not zero. We measure the closeness of a closed plane curve to a circle by the difference of its total squared curvature from the minimum. A similar result is obtained for a simple closed curve in the 2-sphere.     

A generalization of the Holditch Theorem for the planar homothetic motions

In this paper, under the one-parameter closed planar homothetic motion, a generalization of Holditch Theorem is obtained by using two different line segments (with fixed lengths) whose endpoints move along two different closed curves.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected missing date string.
