Homogeneous systems of higher-order ordinary differential equations

Mike Crampin (2010)

Communications in Mathematics

The concept of homogeneity, which picks out sprays from the general run of systems of second-order ordinary differential equations in the geometrical theory of such equations, is generalized so as to apply to equations of higher order. Certain properties of the geometric concomitants of a spray are shown to continue to hold for higher-order systems. Third-order equations play a special role, because a strong form of homogeneity may apply to them. The key example of a single third-order equation...

How to unify the total/local-length-constraints of the gradient flow for the bending energy of plane curves

Yuki Miyamoto, Takeyuki Nagasawa, Fumito Suto (2009)

Kybernetika

The gradient flow of bending energy for plane curve is studied. The flow is considered under two kinds of constraints; one is under the area and total-length constraints; the other is under the area and local-length constraints. The fundamental results (the local existence and uniqueness) were obtained independently by Kurihara and the second author for the former one; by Okabe for the later one. For the former one the global existence was shown for any smooth initial curves, but the asymptotic...

Hypersurfaces with almost complex structures in the real affine space

Mayuko Kon (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study affine hypersurface immersions f : M 2 n + 1 , where M is an almost complex n-dimensional manifold. The main purpose is to give a condition for (M,J) to be a special Kähler manifold with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of an affine fundamental form.

Hypersurfaces with constant curvature in n + 1

J. A. Gálvez, A. Martínez (2002)

Banach Center Publications

We give some optimal estimates of the height, curvature and volume of compact hypersurfaces in n + 1 with constant curvature bounding a planar closed (n-1)-submanifold.

Hypersurfaces with constant k -th mean curvature in a Lorentzian space form

Shichang Shu (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, we study n ( n 3 ) -dimensional complete connected and oriented space-like hypersurfaces M n in an (n+1)-dimensional Lorentzian space form M 1 n + 1 ( c ) with non-zero constant k -th ( k < n ) mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures λ and μ . We give some characterizations of Riemannian product H m ( c 1 ) × M n - m ( c 2 ) and show that the Riemannian product H m ( c 1 ) × M n - m ( c 2 ) is the only complete connected and oriented space-like hypersurface in M 1 n + 1 ( c ) with constant k -th mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures, if the multiplicities of...

Hypersurfaces with free boundary and large constant mean curvature: concentration along submanifolds

Mouhamed Moustapha Fall, Fethi Mahmoudi (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Given a domain Ω of m + 1 and a k -dimensional non-degenerate minimal submanifold K of Ω with 1 k m - 1 , we prove the existence of a family of embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Ω which as their mean curvature tends to infinity concentrate along K and intersecting Ω perpendicularly along their boundaries.
