Historical Comments on Monge’s Ellipsoid and the Configurations of Lines of Curvature on Surfaces Immersed in R
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is an essay on the historical landmarks leading to the study of principal configurations on surfaces, their structural stability and further generalizations. Here it is pointed out that in the work of Monge, 1796, are found elements of the qualitative theory of differential equations, founded by Poincaré in 1881. Two open problems are proposed.

Principal Lines on Surfaces Immersed with Constant Mean Curvature
Configurations of lines of principal curvature on constant mean curvature immersed surfaces are studied. Analytical models for these configurations near general isolated umbilical points and particular types of ends are found. From the existence of transversal invariant measures for the foliations by principal lines, established here, follows that the union of recurrent lines of principal curva...
متن کاملStructurally Stable Configurations of Lines of Mean Curvature and Umbilic Points on Surfaces Immersed in R
In this paper we study the pairs of orthogonal foliations on oriented surfaces immersed in R3 whose singularities and leaves are, respectively, the umbilic points and the lines of normal mean curvature of the immersion. Along these lines the immersions bend in R3 according to their normal mean curvature. By analogy with the closely related Principal Curvature Configurations studied in [S-G], [G...
متن کاملHarmonic Mean Curvature Lines on Surfaces Immersed in R Ronaldo Garcia and Jorge Sotomayor
Consider oriented surfaces immersed in R. Associated to them, here are studied pairs of transversal foliations with singularities, defined on the Elliptic region, where the Gaussian curvature K, given by the product of the principal curvatures k1, k2 is positive. The leaves of the foliations are the lines of harmonic mean curvature, also called characteristic or diagonal lines, along which the ...

Associated to oriented surfaces immersed in R 3 , here are studied pairs of transversal foliations with singularities, defined on the Elliptic region, where the Gaussian curvature K, given by the product of the principal curvatures k1, k2 of the immersion, is positive. The leaves of the foliations are the lines of M-mean curvature, along which the normal curvature of the immersion is given by a...
متن کاملA new approach for Robot selection in manufacturing using the ellipsoid algorithm
The choice of suitable robots in manufacturing, to improve product quality and to increase productivity, is a complicated decision due to the increase in robot manufacturers and configurations. In this article, a novel approach is proposed to choose among alternatives, differently assessed by decision makers on different criteria, to make the final evaluation for decision-making. The approach i...
