Suppose $M \subset \mathbb R^d$ is a $C^2$ $(d-1)$-manifold. In particular I am interested in when $M$ is the set $\{x \in \mathbb R^d: f(x) \le 1\}$ for some $C^2$ function $f:\mathbb R^d \to \...

My question is as follows: It is known that a closed smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is convex iff its (signed) curvature has a constant sign. I wonder if one can characterize smooth convex cones in $\...

This might be a trivial question, but I can't seem to figure it out. Suppose I have an implicitly defined curve in the plane given by $f(x,y) = t$. This curve is strictly convex, and feel free to ...

Let $C$ be a smooth curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that lies entirely on its convex hull, $\cal{H}(C)$. Under what conditions on $C$ is $\cal{H}(C)$ the union of developable surface patches? I believe ...
