Curvature functionals for curves in the equi-affine plane

Steven Verpoort (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

After having given the general variational formula for the functionals indicated in the title, the critical points of the integral of the equi-affine curvature under area constraint and the critical points of the full-affine arc-length are studied in greater detail. Notice. An extended version of this article is available on arXiv:0912.4075.

General-affine invariants of plane curves and space curves

Shimpei Kobayashi, Takeshi Sasaki (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups GA ( 2 ) = GL ( 2 , ℝ ) ⋉ ℝ 2 and GA ( 3 ) = GL ( 3 , ℝ ) ⋉ ℝ 3 , respectively. We define general-affine length parameter and curvatures and show how such invariants determine the curve up to general-affine motions. We then study the extremal problem of the general-affine length functional and derive a variational formula. We give several examples of curves and also discuss some relations with equiaffine treatment and...

Affine bijections of C(X,I)

Janko Marovt (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 𝒳 be a compact Hausdorff space which satisfies the first axiom of countability, I = [0,1] and 𝓒(𝒳,I) the set of all continuous functions from 𝒳 to I. If φ: 𝓒(𝒳,I) → 𝓒(𝒳,I) is a bijective affine map then there exists a homeomorphism μ: 𝒳 → 𝒳 such that for every component C in 𝒳 we have either φ(f)(x) = f(μ(x)), f ∈ 𝓒(𝒳,I), x ∈ C, or φ(f)(x) = 1-f(μ(x)), f ∈ 𝓒(𝒳,I), x ∈ C.
