A Variational Problem for Surfaces in Laguerre Geometry

چکیده
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.

Laguerre Geometry of Hypersurfaces in Rn
Laguerre geometry of surfaces in R is given in the book of Blaschke [1], and have been studied by E.Musso and L.Nicolodi [5], [6], [7], B. Palmer [8] and other authors. In this paper we study Laguerre differential geometry of hypersurfaces in Rn. For any umbilical free hypersurface x : M → Rn with non-zero principal curvatures we define a Laguerre invariant metric g on M and a Laguerre invarian...
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 کاملA Laguerre geometric approach to rational offsets
Laguerre geometry provides a simple approach to the design of rational curves and surfaces with rational offsets. These so-called PH curves and PN surfaces can be constructed from arbitrary rational curves or surfaces with help of a geometric transformation which describes a change between two models of Laguerre geometry. Closely related to that is their optical interpretation as anticaustics o...
متن کاملControlling Nonlinear Processes, using Laguerre Functions Based Adaptive Model Predictive Control (AMPC) Algorithm
Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...
