We establish a principle of deformation of an arbitrary planar curve, so that the integral of a harmonic function over this curve does not change. The equations of deformation can be derived from a specific “potential.” Several applications are presented.

AbstractGiven a pair of real functions (k, f), we study the conditions they must satisfy for $$k+\lambda f$$ k + λ f to be the curvature in the arc-length of a closed planar curve for all real $$\lambda $$ λ . Several equivalent conditions are pointed out, certain periodic behaviours are shown as essential and a family of such pairs is explicitely constructed. The discrete counterpart of the problem is also studied.

AbstractLet $\mathbb C$ be a non-degenerate planar curve. We show that the curve is of Khintchine-type for convergence in the case of simultaneous approximation in $\mathbb R^2$ with two independent approximation functions; that is if a certain sum converges then the set of all points (x,y) on the curve which satisfy simultaneously the inequalities ||qx|| < ψ1(q) and ||qy|| < ψ2(q) infinitely often has induced measure 0. This completes the metric theory for the Lebesgue case. Further, for multiplicative approximation ||qx|| ||qy|| < ψ(q) we establish a Hausdorff measure convergence result for the same class of curves, the first such result for a general class of manifolds in this particular setup.

An algorithm for the recognition of a digital image of a planar curve which has undergone an affine transformation is presented. The algorithm is based on affine-invariant extremal geometric properties of curves, utilizes existing computational-geometric methods, and is relatively insensitive to noise. Its time complexity is linear in the number of image pixels on the curve. Extensions of our algorithm to deal with some cases of occlusion of the image curve and recognition under perspective transformations are also described. These algorithms are almost linear in the number of image pixels on the curve.

AbstractThis paper develops the metric theory of simultaneous inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on a planar curve with respect to multiple approximating functions. Our results naturally generalize the homogeneous Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff dimension results for the sets of simultaneously well-approximable points on planar curves, established in Badziahin and Levesley (Glasg. Math. J., 49(2):367–375, 2007), Beresnevich et al. (Ann. of Math. (2), 166(2):367–426, 2007), Beresnevich and Velani (Math. Ann., 337(4):769–796, 2007) and Vaughan and Velani (Invent. Math., 166(1):103–124, 2006).

An algorithm for representing planar curves in B-splines is presented in this paper. The representing problem is different from the approximation to data points; planar curve provided more information than data points. To make full use of the information, we propose a three-step representing approach: 1.Sample data points along with their tangent vectors from the planar curve according to the given accuracy. 2. Fit the sampled points by Bezier segments using local interpolation; compose these segments to an interpolation curve. 3. Approximate the interpolation curve using the best least approximation to get the final B-spline curve. Tangent information is used in the second step to construct the interpolation curve. In the third step, the system is always positive because of using the best least square approximation, so we can get more freedoms to approximate the interpolation curve. Finally, some examples of this algorithm demonstrate its usefulness and quality.

The conclusion returns to some of the ideas raised in the Introduction, specifically Gillian Beer’s suggestion that literature and science ‘share the moment’s discourse’. It argues for the relevance of this model to different periods and disciplines, while also suggesting some specific potential areas for further development in relation to the present study, including generalist periodicals. It also considers some of the evaluative criteria that have previously been suggested for studies in the field of literature and science, and raises some questions as to the direction in which that field of research should now move. The study concludes finally by suggesting that literature and science, as well as a range of other disciplines, some of which are included here, do more than share the moment’s discourse—they share in the creation, development, and modification of that discourse because they share the moment itself.

Given a harmonic function u on a Riemann surface R, we define a period functionfor every one-dimensional cycle γ of the Riemann surface R. Γx(R) denote the totality of period functions Γu such that harmonic functions u satisfy a boundedness property X. As for X, we let B stand for boundedness, and D for the finiteness of the Dirichlet integral.

AbstractWe consider geometric Hermite subdivision for planar curves, i.e., iteratively refining an input polygon with additional tangent or normal vector information sitting in the vertices. The building block for the (nonlinear) subdivision schemes we propose is based on clothoidal averaging, i.e., averaging w.r.t. locally interpolating clothoids, which are curves of linear curvature. To this end, we derive a new strategy to approximate Hermite interpolating clothoids. We employ the proposed approach to define the geometric Hermite analogues of the well-known Lane-Riesenfeld and four-point schemes. We present numerical results produced by the proposed schemes and discuss their features.
