A Variational Problem for Surfaces in Laguerre Geometry
We consider the variational problem defined by the functional ∫ H−K K dA on immersed surfaces in Euclidean space. Using the invariance of the functional under the group of Laguerre transformations, we study the extremal surfaces by the method of moving frames.
متن کاملRemarks on a Variational Problem in Laguerre Geometry
Recently there has been some renewed interest in Laguerre differential geometry [1], [2], [3]. This geometry was to a large extent developed by Blaschke and his school and a large amount of material about it can be found in [4]. Consider the set of oriented spheres in Euclidean space. If we add to this set the space of oriented planes, i.e. the spheres of infinite radii, then we obtain the spac...
متن کاملGalilei Laguerre Geometry and Rational Circular Ooset Surfaces
In this paper the Laguerre geometry of three-dimensional Galilei space, that is, the geometry of oriented planes and cycles of an aane Cayley-Klein space with absolute line and two conjugate complex absolute points on it, is studied. Several diierent models are presented: A cyclographic model and an isotropic model together with their duals and an interpretation in terms of geometrical optics o...
متن کاملThe fitting line problem in the laguerre geometry
We address the problem of computing the fitting line of a set of circles in the Laguerre metric, that minimizes the distance to the farthest circle. To solve the fitting line problem we introduce a generalization of the concept of the width of a set of points using the Laguerre metric. We also present an efficient algorithm for finding the fitting line of a set of circles using minimization dia...
متن کاملGeneralization of Laguerre Geometry
The article deals with the relationship between Laguerre geometry and Minkowski sum. This relationship is used to create new geometry based generally on fundamental objects different to closed balls that formed Laguerre geometry. In the end of the article, there is defined also generalization of medial axis transform to the newly defined spaces and proved its uniqueness. The article continues t...
