<p>Power convexities of a class of Hessian equations are considered in this paper. It is proved that some power functions of the smooth admissible solutions to the Hessian equations are strictly convex in the ball. For a special case of the equation, a lower bound principal curvature and Gaussian curvature estimates are given.</p>

The Mean

The notion of “mean II-curvature” of a C4-surface (without parabolic points) in the three-dimensional Euclidean space has been introduced by Ekkehart Glässner. The aim of this note is to give some global characterizations of the sphere related to the above notion.In the three-dimensional Euclidean space E3 we consider a sufficiently smooth ovaloid S (closed convex surface) with Gaussian curvature K > 0 . The ovaloid S possesses a positive definite second fundamental form II, if appropriately oriented. During the last years several authors have been concerned with the problem of characterizations of the sphere by the curvature of the second fundamental form of S. In this paper we give some characterizations of the sphere using the concept of the mean II-curvatureHII (of S), defined by Ekkehart Glässner.

Articular Surfaces

Although joints with synovial cavities and articular surfaces are very variable, they all have one common peculiarity. In most cases, one of the articular surfaces is concave, whereas the other one is convex. During the formation of a joint, the epiphysis, which has less kinetic energy during the movements in the joint, forms a convex surface, whereas large kinetic energy forms the epiphysis with a concave surface. Basing on this concept, the analysis of the structure of the joints, allows to determine forces involved into their formation, and to identify the general patterns of the formation of the skeleton.

The Many

The theory of cartographic projections is a tool which can present the convex surface of the Earth on the plane. Of the many types of maps, thematic maps perform an important function due to the wide possibilities of adapting their content to current needs. The limitation of classic maps is their two-dimensional nature. In the era of rapidly growing methods of mass acquisition of spatial data, the use of flat images is often not enough to reveal the level of complexity of certain objects. In this case, it is necessary to use visualization in three-dimensional space. The motivation to conduct the study was the use of cartographic projections methods, spatial transformations, and the possibilities offered by thematic maps to create thematic three-dimensional map imaging (T3DMI). The authors presented a practical verification of the adopted methodology to create a T3DMI visualization of the marina of the National Sailing Centre of the Gdańsk University of Physical Education and Sport (Poland). The profiled characteristics of the object were used to emphasize the key elements of its function. The results confirmed the increase in the interpretative capabilities of the T3DMI method, relative to classic two-dimensional maps. Additionally, the study suggested future research directions of the presented solution.

The Waves

AbstractMulti-welled energy landscapes arising in shells with nonzero Gaussian curvature typically fade away as their thickness becomes larger because of the increased bending energy required for inversion. Motivated by this limitation, we propose a strategy to realize doubly curved shells that are bistable for any thickness. We then study the nonlinear dynamic response of one-dimensional (1D) arrays of our universally bistable shells when coupled by compressible fluid cavities. We find that the system supports the propagation of bidirectional transition waves whose characteristics can be tuned by varying both geometric parameters as well as the amount of energy supplied to initiate the waves. However, since our bistable shells have equal energy minima, the distance traveled by such waves is limited by dissipation. To overcome this limitation, we identify a strategy to realize thick bistable shells with tunable energy landscape and show that their strategic placement within the 1D array can extend the propagation distance of the supported bidirectional transition waves.
