We investigate a second order infinitesimal bending of curves in a three-dimensional Euclidean space in this paper. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the vector fields to be infinitesimal bending fields of the corresponding order, as well as explicit formulas which determine these fields. We examine the first and the second variation of some geometric magnitudes which describe a curve, specially a change of the curvature. Two illustrative examples (a circle and a helix) are studied not only analytically but also by drawing curves using computer program Mathematica.

We propose three integral criteria that must be satisfied by all closed surfaces with constant mean curvature immersed in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. These criteria are integral identities that follow from requiring the second variation of the area functional to be invariant under rigid displacements. We obtain from them a new proof of the old result by Delaunay, to the effect that the sphere is the only closed axis-symmetric surface.

Within the geometrical framework developed in [Geometric constrained variational calculus. I: Piecewise smooth extremals, Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 12 (2015) 1550061], the problem of minimality for constrained calculus of variations is analyzed among the class of differentiable curves. A fully covariant representation of the second variation of the action functional, based on a suitable gauge transformation of the Lagrangian, is explicitly worked out. Both necessary and sufficient conditions for minimality are proved, and reinterpreted in terms of Jacobi fields.

In this paper, we consider infinitesimal bending of the second-order of curves and knots. The total curvature of the knot during the second-order infinitesimal bending is discussed and expressions for the first and the second variation of the total curvature are given. Some examples aimed to illustrate infinitesimal bending of knots are shown using figures. Colors are used to illustrate curvature values at different points of bent knots and the total curvature is numerically calculated.

AbstractIn this work, we present new necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of a class of second-order neutral delay impulsive differential equations. Our oscillation results complement, simplify and improve recent results on oscillation theory of this type of nonlinear neutral impulsive differential equations that appear in the literature. An example is provided to illustrate the value of the main results.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.

In this article we study an optimal control problem subject to the Fokker-Planck equation ∂tρ − ν∆ρ − div(ρB[u]) = 0 The control variable u is time-dependent and possibly multidimensional, and the function B depends on the space variable and the control. The cost functional is of tracking type and includes a quadratic regularization term on the control. For this problem, we prove existence of optimal controls and first order necessary conditions. Main emphasis is placed on second order necessary and sufficient conditions.
