This volume on pure and applied differential geometry, includes topics on submanifold theory, affine differential geometry and applications of geometry in engineering sciences. The conference was dedicated to the 70th birthday of Prof Katsumi Nomizu. Papers on the scientific work and life of Katsumi Nomizu are also included.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Geometry of Submanifolds, held from October 25–26, 2014, at San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA, and the AMS Special Session on Recent Advances in the Geometry of Submanifolds: Dedicated to the Memory of Franki Dillen (1963–2013), held from March 14–15, 2015, at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Ml. The focus of the volume is on recent studies of submanifolds of Riemannian, semi-Riemannian, Kaehlerian and contact manifolds. Some of these use techniques in classical differential geometry, while others use methods from ordinary differential equations, geometric analysis, or geometric PDEs. By brainstorming on the fundamental problems and exploring a large variety of questions studied in submanifold geometry, the editors hope to provide mathematicians with a working tool, not just a collection of individual contributions. This volume is dedicated to the memory of Franki Dillen, whose work in submanifold theory attracted the attention of and inspired many geometers.
This three-volume handbook includes state-of-the-art surveys in different areas of neoclassical production economics. Volumes 1 and 2 cover theoretical and methodological issues only. Volume 3 includes surveys of empirical applications in different areas like manufacturing, agriculture, banking, energy and environment, and so forth.
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the international meeting of Differential Geometry and Computer Vision held in Norway and of international meetings on Pure and Applied Differential Geometry held in Belgium. This volume is dedicated to Prof Dr Tom Willmore for his contribution to the development of the domain of differential geometry. Furthermore, it contains a survey on recent developments on affine differential geometry, including a list of publications and a problem list.
The topics covered are pure differential geometry, especially submanifolds and affine differential geometry, and applications of geometry to human vision, robotics, and gastro-entrology.
