Abstract:
Based on the negative exponential pair potential ([Formula: see text]), the interaction potential between curved surface body with negative Gauss curvature and an outside particle is proved to be of curvature-based form, i.e., it can be written as a function of curvatures. Idealized numerical experiments are designed to test the accuracy of the curvature-based potential. Compared with the previous results, it is confirmed that the interaction potential between curved surface body and an outside particle has a unified expression of curvatures regardless of the sign of Gauss curvature. Further, propositions below are confirmed: Highly curved surface body may induce driving forces, curvatures and the gradient of curvatures are the essential factors forming the driving forces.

Abstract:
Superspirals include a very broad family of monotonic curvature curves, whose radius of curvature is defined by a completely monotonic Gauss hypergeometric function. They are generalizations of log-aesthetic curves, and other curves whose radius of curvature is a particular case of a completely monotonic Gauss hypergeometric function. In this work, we study superspirals of confluent type via similarity geometry. Through a detailed investigation of the similarity curvatures of superspirals of confluent type, we find a new class of planar curves with monotone curvature in terms of Tricomi confluent hypergeometric function. Moreover, the proposed ideas will be our guide to expanding superspirals.

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate three-dimensional complete minimal hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0). We prove that if the scalar curvature of a such hypersurface is bounded from below, then its Gauss-Kronecker curvature vanishes identically. Examples of complete minimal hypersurfaces which are not totally geodesic in the Euclidean space E4 and the hyperbolic space H4(c) with vanishing Gauss-Kronecker curvature are also presented. It is also proved that totally umbilical hypersurfaces are the only complete hypersurfaces with non-zero constant mean curvature and with zero quasi-Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0) if the scalar curvature is bounded from below. In particular, we classify complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and with constant quasi-Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0) if the scalar curvature r satisfies r≥ ⅔c.

AbstractWe construct distinctive surfaces of revolution with finite total curvature whose Gauss curvatures are not bounded. Such a surface of revolution is employed as a reference surface of comparison theorems in radial curvature geometry. Moreover, we prove that a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary if the manifold M is not less curved than a noncompact model surface of revolution and if the total curvature of the model surface is finite and less than 2π. By the first result mentioned above, the second result covers a much wider class of manifolds than that of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds whose sectional curvatures are bounded from below by a constant.

Abstract:
In this paper we adopt the hyperboloid in Minkowski space as the model of hyperbolic space. We define the hyperbolic Gauss map and the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix of a hypersurface in hyperbolic space. The hyperbolic Gauss map has been introduced by Ch. Epstein [J. Reine Angew. Math. 372 (1986) 96–135] in the Poincaré ball model, which is very useful for the study of constant mean curvature surfaces. However, it is very hard to perform the calculation because it has an intrinsic form. Here, we give an extrinsic definition and we study the singularities. In the study of the singularities of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix), we find that the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix is much easier to calculate. We introduce the notion of hyperbolic Gauss–Kronecker curvature whose zero sets correspond to the singular set of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix). We also develop a local differential geometry of hypersurfaces concerning their contact with hyperhorospheres.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 53A25, 53A05, 58C27.

We study the second-order invariants of a Lorentzian surface in ℝ2,2, and the curvature hyperbolas associated with its second fundamental form. Besides the four natural invariants, new invariants appear in some degenerate situations. We then introduce the Gauss map of a Lorentzian surface and give an extrinsic proof of the vanishing of the total Gauss and normal curvatures of a compact Lorentzian surface. The Gauss map and the second-order invariants are then used to study the asymptotic directions of a Lorentzian surface and discuss their causal character. We also consider the relation of the asymptotic lines with the mean directionally curved lines. We finally introduce and describe the quasi-umbilic surfaces, and the surfaces whose four classical invariants vanish identically.

Abstract:
The Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm of mechanics establishes that, within an inertial frame, a body either remains at rest or moves uniformly on a line, unless a force acts externally upon it. This crucial assertion breaks down when the classical concepts of space, time and measurement reveal to be inadequate. If, for example, the space is non-flat, an effective translation might occur from rest in the absence of external applied force. In this paper we examine mathematically the motion of a small object or lizard on an arbitrary curved surface. Particularly, we allow the lizard’s shape to undergo a cyclic deformation due exclusively to internal forces, so that the total linear momentum is conserved. In addition to the fact that the deformation produces a swimming event, we prove –under fairly simplifying assumptions that such a translationis some what directly proportional to the Gauss curvature of the surface at the point where the lizardlies.

Full text
Abstract:
Weingarten surfaces are those whose principal curvatures satisfy a functional relation, whose set of solutions is called the curvature diagram or the W-diagram of the surface. Making use of the notion of geometric linear momentum of a plane curve, we propose a new approach to the study of rotational Weingarten surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. Our contribution consists of reducing any type of Weingarten condition on a rotational surface to a first-order differential equation on the momentum of the generatrix curve. In this line, we provide two new classification results involving a cubic and an hyperbola in the W-diagram of the surface characterizing, respectively, the non-degenerated quadric surfaces of revolution and the elasticoids, defined as the rotational surfaces generated by the rotation of the Euler elastic curves around their directrix line. As another application of our approach, we deal with the problem of prescribing mean or Gauss curvature on rotational surfaces in terms of arbitrary continuous functions depending on distance from the surface to the axis of revolution. As a consequence, we provide simple new proofs of some classical results concerning rotational surfaces, such as Euler’s theorem about minimal ones, Delaunay’s theorem on constant mean curvature ones, and Darboux’s theorem about constant Gauss curvature ones.

Full text
Abstract:
It is common practice in science and engineering to approximate smooth surfaces and their geometric properties by using triangle meshes with vertices on the surface. Here, we study the approximation of the Gaussian curvature through the Gauss–Bonnet scheme. In this scheme, the Gaussian curvature at a vertex on the surface is approximated by the quotient of the angular defect and the area of the Voronoi region. The Voronoi region is the subset of the mesh that contains all points that are closer to the vertex than to any other vertex. Numerical error analyses suggest that the Gauss–Bonnet scheme always converges with quadratic convergence speed. However, the general validity of this conclusion remains uncertain. We perform an analytical error analysis on the Gauss–Bonnet scheme. Under certain conditions on the mesh, we derive the convergence speed of the Gauss–Bonnet scheme as a function of the maximal distance between the vertices. We show that the conditions are sufficient and necessary for a linear convergence speed. For the special case of locally spherical surfaces, we find a better convergence speed under weaker conditions. Furthermore, our analysis shows that the Gauss–Bonnet scheme, while generally efficient and effective, can give erroneous results in some specific cases.

This paper discusses the calculation method of Gauss Curvature on space mesh points in simplified level-of-detail (LOD) model technique and how to program with C# language at the platform of .NET. Then, with this algorithm, get the curvature value of the mesh points, delete the center point of the small curvature and triangularize the cavity left so as to realize the simplification of the LOD model. In order to show the result of this algorithm, this paper visualizes the LOD model of the three-dimensional terrain model in full detail with Gauss Curvature Algorithm, puts forward the idea of carrying out error analysis on the algorithm with the geometric property of curvature, and compares the result with that with other algorithms. All the example and the error analysis show that this algorithm is not only of fast speed but also with good effect.

Abstract:
The moving frame and associated Gauss-Codazzi equations for surfaces in three-space are introduced. A quaternionic representation is used to identify the Gauss-Weingarten equation with a particular Lax representation. Several examples are given, such as the case of constant mean curvature.
