Singularities of Parallel Surfaces

چکیده
We investigate singularities of all parallel surfaces to a given regular surface. In generic context, the types of singularities of parallel surfaces are cuspidal edge, swallowtail, cuspidal lips, cuspidal beaks, cuspidal butterfly and 3-dimensional D4 singularities. We give criteria for these singularities types in terms of differential geometry (Theorem 3.4 and 3.5).

Geometric Modeling of Parallel Curves on Surfaces
This paper is concerned with various aspects of the modeling of parallel curves on surfaces with special emphasis on surfaces of revolution. An algorithm for efficient tracking of the geodesics on these surfaces is presented. Existing methods for plane offset curves are adapted to generate G-spline approximations of parallel curves on arbitrary surfaces. An algorithm to determine singularities ...
متن کاملSurfaces and Fronts with Harmonic-mean Curvature One in Hyperbolic Three-space
We investigate surfaces with constant harmonic-mean curvature one (HMC-1 surfaces) in hyperbolic three-space. We allow them to have certain kinds of singularities, and discuss some global properties. As well as flat surfaces and surfaces with constant mean curvature one (CMC-1 surfaces), HMC-1 surfaces belong to a certain class of Weingarten surfaces. From the viewpoint of parallel surfaces, CM...
متن کاملMonge-ampère Equations and Surfaces with Negative Gaussian Curvature
In [24], we studied the singularities of solutions of Monge-Ampère equations of hyperbolic type. Then we saw that the singularities of solutions do not coincide with the singularities of solution surfaces. In this note we first study the singularities of solution surfaces. Next, as the applications, we consider the singularities of surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature. Our problems are as ...
متن کاملTimelike Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Singularities
We use integrable systems techniques to study the singularities of timelike non-minimal constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in the LorentzMinkowski 3-space. The singularities arise at the boundary of the Birkhoff big cell of the loop group involved. We examine the behaviour of the surfaces at the big cell boundary, generalize the definition of CMC surfaces to include those with finite, gener...
متن کاملDynkin Graphs and Triangle Singularities
In Arnold’s classification list of singularities (Arnold [1].) we find interesting singularities to be studied. Though we find singularities of any dimension in Arnold’s list, we consider singularities of dimension two in particular. Among them there is a class called exceptional singularities or triangle singularities. This class consists of fourteen singularities. It is known that they are cl...
