We transform the problem of determining isometric immersions from into into that of solving equations of degenerate Monge-Ampère type on the unit ball . By presenting one family of special solutions to the equations, we obtain a great many noncongruent examples of such isometric immersions with or without umbilic set.
We show that in any family of stunted sawtooth maps, the set of maps whose set of periods is the set of all powers of 2 has no interior point. Similar techniques then allow us to show that, under mild assumptions, smooth multimodal maps whose set of periods is the set of all powers of 2 are infinitely renormalizable with the diameters of all periodic intervals going to zero as the period goes to infinity.
Let M̅ be a compact Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature satisfying (resp. ), which can be isometrically immersed as a hypersurface in the Euclidean space (resp. the unit Euclidean sphere). Then there exist no stable compact minimal submanifolds in M̅. This extends Shen and Xu’s result for 1/4-pinched Riemannian manifolds and also suggests a modified version of the well-known Lawson-Simons conjecture.
The Dehn quandle, Q, of a surface was defined via the action of Dehn twists about circles on the surface upon other circles. On the torus, 𝕋², we generalize this to show the existence of a quandle Q̂ extending Q and whose elements are measured geodesic foliations. The quandle action in Q̂ is given by applying a shear along such a foliation to another foliation. We extend some results which related Dehn quandle homology to the monodromy of Lefschetz fibrations. We apply certain quandle 2-cycles...
This paper is concerned with the design of event-based state estimation algorithm for nonlinear complex networks with fading measurements and stochastic coupling strength. The event-based communication protocol is employed to save energy and enhance the network transmission efficiency, where the changeable event-triggered threshold is adopted to adjust the data transmission frequency. The phenomenon of fading measurements is described by a series of random variables obeying certain probability distribution....
