On Poncelet's porism

Waldemar Cieślak, Elżbieta Szczygielska (2010)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

We consider circular annuli with Poncelet's porism property. We prove two identities which imply Chapple's, Steiner's and other formulas. All porisms can be expressed in the form in which elliptic functions are not used.

On Schrödinger maps from T 1 to  S 2

Robert L. Jerrard, Didier Smets (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove an estimate for the difference of two solutions of the Schrödinger map equation for maps from T 1 to  S 2 . This estimate yields some continuity properties of the flow map for the topology of  L 2 ( T 1 , S 2 ) , provided one takes its quotient by the continuous group action of  T 1 given by translations. We also prove that without taking this quotient, for any t > 0 the flow map at time t is discontinuous as a map from 𝒞 ( T 1 , S 2 ) , equipped with the weak topology of  H 1 / 2 , to the space of distributions ( 𝒞 ( T 1 , 3 ) ) * . The argument relies in an essential...

On the four vertex theorem in planes with radial density e φ ( r )

Doan The Hieu, Tran Le Nam (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that in a plane with a radial density the four vertex theorem holds for the class of all simple closed curves if and only if the density is constant. On the other hand, for the class of simple closed curves that are invariant under a rotation about the origin, the four vertex theorem holds for every radial density.
