On the unfolding of simple closed curves [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2008
We show that every rectifiable simple closed curve in the plane can be continuously deformed into a convex curve in a motion which preserves arc length and does not decrease the Euclidean distance between any pair of points on the curve. This result is obtained by approximating the curve with polygons and invoking the result of Connelly, Demaine, and ...

An equality for the curvature function of a simple and closed curve on the plane

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003
We prove an equality for the curvature function of a simple and closed curve on the plane. This equality leads to another proof of the four-vertex theorem in differential geometry.

Fractional-Order Approximation of PID Controller for Buck–Boost Converters

open access: yesMicromachines, 2021
Viability of a fractional-order proportional–integral–derivative (PID) approximation to regulate voltage in buck–boost converters is investigated. The converter applications range not only to high-power ones but also in micro/nano-scale systems from ...

From curves to currents

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2021
Many natural real-valued functions of closed curves are known to extend continuously to the larger space of geodesic currents. For instance, the extension of length with respect to a fixed hyperbolic metric was a motivating example for the development of

Simple method to reduce the effect of patient positioning variation on three-dimensional motion analysis during treadmill gait

open access: yesClinics and Practice, 2013
Recently, three-dimensional (3D) closed curve trajectories of markers placed at strategic body locations, called cyclograms or Lissajous-like graphs, are used for treadmill gait analysis.

Convex curves of bounded type

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1985
Let C be a simple closed convex curve in the plane for which the radius of curvature ρ is a continuous function of the arc length. Such a curve is called a convex curve of bounded type, if ρ lies between two fixed positive bounds.

Simple quantum systems in spacetimes with closed timelike curves [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 1992
Three simple examples illustrate properties of path integral amplitudes in fixed background spacetimes with closed timelike curves: non-relativistic potential scattering in the Born approximation is non-unitary, but both an example with hard spheres and the exact solution of a totally discrete model are unitary.
