Closed Integral Curves in 3-space and Isotopic Two-dimensional Deformations

نویسنده

چکیده

If there is given an isotopic deformation of a two-dimensional euclidean plane E onto itself, one can adjoin to every point P of E a certain closed curve, the so-called "indicatrix" of P (§1). If the indicatrix does not pass through P, we introduce the order of P relative to its indicatrix as the "rotation number" of the deformation at P. A relation between the rotation numbers in different points of E (§3) and a formula for the rotation number in the general case of a "bounded deformation" (§4) is established. This formula admits an application to the problem of closed integral curves of continuous vector fields in the 3-dimensional sphere.

Linking Integral Projection

The linking integral is an invariant of the link-type of two manifolds immersed in a Euclidean space. It is shown that the ordinary Gauss integral in three dimensions may be simplified to a winding number integral in two dimensions. This result is then generalized to show that in certain circumstances the linking integral between arbitrary manifolds may be similarly reduced to a lower dimension...

Variation of the Total Normal Twist of Closed Curves

The existence of parallel mates to a given closed space curves in the sense of depends on its total normal twist, i.e. the angle of rotation of a normal vector subject to parallel transfer in the normal bundle after one period. Parallel mates exist ii this quantity is an integer multiple of 2. The aim of this note is to investigate the change of the total normal twist under isotopic deformation...

Solvability of infinite system of nonlinear singular integral equations in the C(Itimes‎ I‎, ‎c) space and modified semi-analytic method to find a closed-form of solution

‎In this article‎, ‎we discuss about solvability of infinite systems of singular integral equations with two variables in the Banach sequence space $C(I times I‎, ‎c)$ by applying measure of noncompactness‎ and Meir-Keeler condensing operators‎. By presenting an example, we have illustrated our results‎. ‎For validity of the results we introduce a modified semi-analytic method in the case of tw...

Hard Unknots and Collapsing Tangles

Classical knot theory is about the classification, up to isotopy, of embedded closed curves in three-dimensional space. Two closed curves embedded in three-dimensional space are said to be isotopic if there is a continuous family of embeddings starting with one curve and ending with the other curve. This definition of isotopy captures our intuitive notion of moving a length of elastic rope abou...

Constructing Two-Dimensional Multi-Wavelet for Solving Two-Dimensional Fredholm Integral Equations

In this paper, a two-dimensional multi-wavelet is constructed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The constructed multi-wavelet is an orthonormal basis for space. By discretizing two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation reduce to a algebraic system. The obtained system is solved by the Galerkin method in the subspace of by using two-dimensional multi-wavelet bases. Because the bases of subs...
