Isolated singular points of harmonic functions

Critical Points of Functions on Singular Spaces

We compare and contrast various notions of the “critical locus” of a complex analytic function on a singular space. After choosing a topological variant as our primary notion of the critical locus, we justify our choice by generalizing Lê and Saito’s result that constant Milnor number implies that Thom’s af condition is satisfied.

Singular values of convex functions of matrices

‎Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $‎sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $‎sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$  are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is‎ ‎positive semidefinite‎. ‎It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing ‎convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right)‎ ‎=0 $‎, ‎then  $$‎2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...

Generalized Helices and Singular Points

In this paper, we define X-slant helix in Euclidean 3-space and we obtain helix, slant helix, clad and g-clad helix as special case of the X-slant helix. Then we study Darboux, tangential darboux developable surfaces and their singular points. Especially we show that the striction lines of these surfaces are singular locus of the surfaces.

Critical Points of Harmonic Functions on Domains In/?3

It is shown that the critical point relations of Morse theory, together with the maximum principle, comprise a complete set of critical point relations for harmonic functions of three variables. The proof proceeds by first constructing a simplified example and then developing techniques to modify this example to realize all admissible possibilities. Techniques used differ substantially from tho...
