On the geometry of convex reflectors

Vladimir I. Oliker (2002)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a special class of convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space which arise as weak solutions to some inverse problems of recovering reflectors from scattering data. For this class of hypersurfaces we study the notion of the focal function which, while sharing the important convexity property with the classical support function, has the advantage of being exactly the "right tool" for such inverse problems. We also discuss briefly the close analogy between one such...

Parallel hypersurfaces

Barbara Opozda, Udo Simon (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We investigate parallel hypersurfaces in the context of relative hypersurface geometry, in particular including the cases of Euclidean and Blaschke hypersurfaces. We describe the geometric relations between parallel hypersurfaces in terms of deformation operators, and we apply the results to the parallel deformation of special classes of hypersurfaces, e.g. quadrics and Weingarten hypersurfaces.

A Useful Characterization of Some Real Hypersurfaces in a Nonflat Complex Space Form

Takehiro Itoh, Sadahiro Maeda (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We characterize totally η-umbilic real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form M̃ₙ(c) (= ℂPⁿ(c) or ℂHⁿ(c)) and a real hypersurface of type (A₂) of radius π/(2√c) in ℂPⁿ(c) by observing the shape of some geodesics on those real hypersurfaces as curves in the ambient manifolds (Theorems 1 and 2).
