A Stability Criterion for Extremals of Elliptic Parametric Functionals

چکیده

In this paper we consider parametric integrals F with elliptic integrands depending on the surface normal. The main result is a stability criterion for F-extremal immersions, containing the result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] as a special case. Using similar techniques we are also able to show a condition for instability. The last section contains a simple proof of the fact that the surface normal of F-extremals is topologically equivalent to a holomorphic function. AMS Classification: 35J50, 49Q10, 53C42

Enclosure Theorems for Extremals of Elliptic Parametric Functionals

In the following paper we study parametric functionals. First we introduce a generalized mean curvature (so called F -mean curvature). This enables us to describe extremals of parametric funcionals as surfaces of prescribed F -mean curvature. Furthermore we give a differential equation for arbitrary immersions generalizing ∆X = HN and apply this equation to surfaces of vanishing and prescribed ...

Stability of Critica of Parametric Elliptic Functionals

We study the stability of noncompact critica of parametric elliptic functionals with a volume constraint. Let F : U ⊂ S → R be a smooth function. For a smooth, oriented hypersurface X : Σ → E whose Gauss map ν : Σ → S is assumed to lie in U , we define the functional FΛ(X) = ∫ Σ F (ν)dΣ + ΛV (X), Λ ∈ R, (1) where V (X) denotes the algebraic n + 1 dimensional volume enclosed by X, V (X) := 1 n +...

Anisotropic umbilic points and Hopf’s Theorem for surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature By MIYUKI KOISO and BENNETT PALMER

We show that for elliptic parametric functionals whose Wulff shape is smooth and has strictly positive curvature, any surface with constant anisotropic mean curvature which is a topological sphere is a rescaling of the Wulff shape.

Arithmeticity, Discreteness and Volume

We give an arithmetic criterion which is sufficient to imply the discreteness of various two-generator subgroups of PSL(2,C). We then examine certain two-generator groups which arise as extremals in various geometric problems in the theory of Kleinian groups, in particular those encountered in efforts to determine the smallest co-volume, the Margulis constant and the minimal distance between el...

Parametric Robust Stability

Robust stability of LTI systemswith parametric uncertainty is a very interesting topic to study, industrial world is contained in parametric uncertainty. In industrial reality, there is not a particular system to analyze, there is a family of systems to be analyzed because the values of physical parameters are not known, we know only the lower and upper bounds of each parameter involved in the ...
