Examples of surfaces of constant mean curvature
Дифференциальная геометрия многообразий фигур, 2019 A surface in E3 is called parallel to the surface M if it consists of the ends of constant length segments, laid on the normals to the surfaces at points of this surface. The tangent planes at the corresponding points will be parallel.

Computing Gaussian Curvature in Real-Time for 4K Video Processing
IEEE Access, 2019 Computing Gaussian curvature is a fundamental task in image and video processing. However, this task becomes more and more time consuming when the image resolution goes higher and higher. In this paper, we tackle this issue from two aspects.

Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2018 In this paper, we construct a helicoidal surface of type I+ with prescribed weighted mean curvature and Gaussian curvature in the Minkowski 3−space ℝ13${\Bbb R}_1^3$with a positive density function. We get a result for minimal case.

Some Characterizations of Generalized Null Scrolls
Mathematics, 2019 In this work, a family of ruled surfaces named generalized null scrolls in Minkowski 3-space are investigated via the defined structure functions. The relations between the base curve and the ruling flow of the generalized null scroll are revealed.

The curvature of contact structure on 3-manifolds [PDF]
, 2008 We study the sectional curvature of plane distributions on 3-manifolds. We show that if the distribution is a contact structure it is easy to manipulate this curvature. As a corollary we obtain that for every transversally oriented contact structure on a

Gaussian curvature from flat elastica sheets [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010 We discuss methods of reversibly inducing non-developable surfaces from flat sheets of material at the micro-scale all the way to macroscopic objects. We analyse the elastic ground states of a nematic glass in the membrane approximation as a function of temperature for disclination defects of topological charge +1.

Light in curved two-dimensional space
Advances in Physics: X, 2020 The extrinsic and intrinsic curvature of a two-dimensional waveguide influences wave propagation therein. While this can already be apprehended from a geometric point of view in terms of geodesics generalizing straight lines as the shortest distance ...

Existence and non existence results for the singular Nirenberg problem [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper we study the problem, posed by Troyanov (Trans AMS 324: 793–821, 1991), of prescribing the Gaussian curvature under a conformal change of the metric on surfaces with conical singularities.

The Weighted Mean Curvature Derivative of a Space-Filling Diagram
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2020 Representing an atom by a solid sphere in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, we get the space-filling diagram of a molecule by taking the union. Molecular dynamics simulates its motion subject to bonds and other forces, including the solvation free energy ...

Shape programming lines of concentrated Gaussian curvature [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 2021 Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can undergo large reversible contractions along their nematic director upon heating or illumination. A spatially patterned director within a flat LCE sheet, thus, encodes a pattern of contraction on heating, which can morph the sheet into a curved shell, akin to how a pattern of growth sculpts a developing organism ...
