Covering polygonal annuli by strips [PDF]
In 2000 Bezdek asked which plane convex bodies have the property that whenever an annulus, consisting of the body less a sufficiently small scaled copy of itself, is covered by strips, the sum of the widths of the strips must still be at least the ...

New Model for the Assessment of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Devices in Sheep
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective therapy in treating high-risk patients suffering from aortic stenosis. Animal models used to evaluate safety and efficacy of TAVR devices prior to clinical use lack a stenotic ...

Aortic annulus ellipticity and outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Elliptical shape of the aortic annulus has been associated with an increased risk of device failure after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared with a circular annular shape.

Existence of non-contractible periodic orbits for homeomorphisms of the open annulus [PDF]
In this article we consider homeomorphisms of the open annulus $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{R}$ which are isotopic to the identity and preserve a Borel probability measure of full support, focusing on the existence of non-contractible periodic orbits.

Solutions of two-point boundary value problems via phase-plane analysis
We consider period annuli (continua of periodic solutions) in equations of the type $x''+g(x)=0$ and $x''+f(x) x'^2 + g(x)= 0,$ where $g$ and $f$ are polynomials.

S-shaped bifurcations in a two-dimensional Hamiltonian system
We study the solutions to the following Dirichlet boundary problem: \begin{equation*}\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}+\lambda f(x(t))=0,\end{equation*} where $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $t \in \mathbb{R}$, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}^+$, with boundary conditions: \begin ...

Rotation sets and monotone periodic orbits for annulus homeomorphisms [PDF]
This paper is about the existence of periodic points for homeomorphisms of the annulus and contains an affirmative answer to a question posed by \textit{G. R. Hall} [Contemp. Math. 81, 135--152 (1988; Zbl 0677.58026)]. Using Thurston-Nielsen theory for surface homeomorphisms, the following theorem is proved: If \(f\) is an orientation and boundary ...

The bifurcation of limit cycles of two classes of cubic systems with homogeneous nonlinearities
In this paper, we study the bifurcation of limit cycles of the periodic annulus of two classes of cubic isochronous systems. By using complete elliptic integrals of the first, second kinds and the Chebyshev criterion, we show that the upper bound for ...
