Non-degenerate quadric surfaces of Weingarten type

Dae Won Yoon, Yılmaz Tunçer, Murat Kemal Karacan (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study quadric surfaces in Euclidean 3-space with non-degenerate second fundamental form, and classify them in terms of the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature, the second Gaussian curvature and the second mean curvature.

Gaussian curvature based tangential redistribution of points on evolving surfaces

Medľa, Matej, Mikula, Karol

Similarity:

There exist two main methods for computing a surface evolution, level-set method and Lagrangian method. Redistribution of points is a crucial element in a Lagrangian approach. In this paper we present a point redistribution that compress quads in the areas with a high Gaussian curvature. Numerical method is presented for a mean curvature flow of a surface approximated by quads.

Uniqueness results for the Minkowski problem extended to hedgehogs

Yves Martinez-Maure (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

The classical Minkowski problem has a natural extension to hedgehogs, that is to Minkowski differences of closed convex hypersurfaces. This extended Minkowski problem is much more difficult since it essentially boils down to the question of solutions of certain Monge-Ampère equations of mixed type on the unit sphere 𝕊 n of ℝn+1. In this paper, we mainly consider the uniqueness question and give first results.
