Convex functions with restricted curvature

Retrieving Convex Bodies from Restricted Covariogram Functions

The covariogram gK(x) of a convex body K ⊆ E is the function which associates to each x ∈ E the volume of the intersection of K with K+x. Matheron [Mat86] asked whether gK determines K, up to translations and reflections in a point. Positive answers to Matheron’s question have been obtained for large classes of planar convex bodies, while for d ≥ 3 there are both positive and negative results. ...

Cylindrical Estimates for Hypersurfaces Moving by Convex Curvature Functions

Convexity estimates for hypersurfaces moving by convex curvature functions

We consider the evolution of compact hypersurfaces by fully non-linear, parabolic curvature ows for which the normal speed is given by a smooth, convex, degree one homogeneous function of the principal curvatures. We prove that solution hypersurfaces on which the speed is initially positive become weakly convex at a singularity of the ow. The result extends the convexity estimate [HS99b] of Hui...

Mean Curvature Flow with Convex Gauss Image

We study the mean curvature flow of complete space-like submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space with bounded Gauss image, as well as that of complete submanifolds in Euclidean space with convex Gauss image. By using the confinable property of the Gauss image under the mean curvature flow we prove the long time existence results in both cases. We also study the asymptotic behavior of these soluti...

Unfolding Restricted Convex Caps

This paper details an algorithm for unfolding a class of convex polyhedra, where each polyhedron in the class consists of a convex cap over a rectangular base, with several restrictions: the cap’s faces are quadrilaterals, with vertices over an underlying integer lattice, and such that the cap convexity is “radially monotone,” a type of smoothness constraint. Extensions of Cauchy’s arm lemma ar...
