Variational problems and PDEs in affine differential geometry

H. Z. Li (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper is part of the autumn school on "Variational problems and higher order PDEs for affine hypersurfaces". We discuss variational problems in equiaffine differential geometry, centroaffine differential geometry and relative differential geometry, which have been studied by Blaschke [Bla], Chern [Ch], C. P. Wang [W], Li-Li-Simon [LLS], and Calabi [Ca-II]. We first derive the Euler-Lagrange equations in these settings; these equations are complicated, strongly nonlinear fourth order...

Affine maximal hypersurfaces

An-Min Li, Fang Jia (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper is part of the autumn school on "Variational problems and higher order PDEs for affine hypersurfaces". We discuss affine Bernstein problems and complete constant mean curvature surfaces in equiaffine differential geometry.

An affine framework for analytical mechanics

Paweł Urbański (2003)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An affine Cartan calculus is developed. The concepts of special affine bundles and special affine duality are introduced. The canonical isomorphisms, fundamental for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the dynamics in the affine setting are proved.

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.

Affine invariants of annuli

Waldemar Cieślak, Elzbieta Szczygielska (2012)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

A family of regular annuli is considered. Affine invariants of annuli are introduced.
