Two generalizations of a property of the catenary

V Coll, M Harrison - The American Mathematical Monthly, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
A well-known property of the catenary curve is that the ratio of the area under the curve to
the arc length of the curve is independent of the interval over which these quantities are …

Hypersurfaces of revolution with proportional principal curvatures

V Coll, M Harrison - Advances in Geometry, 2013 - degruyter.com
We classify hypersurfaces of revolution for which the principal curvatures are proportional.
These hypersurfaces form a one-parameter family indexed by the reals. The subsequent …

Gabriel's horn: A revolutionary tale

V Coll, M Harrison - Mathematics Magazine, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
We generalize hypersurfaces of revolution by allowing the profile curve to be dependent on
more than one variable. We call these more general objects spherical arrays and we use …

Hanging around in non-uniform fields

F Kuczmarski, J Kuczmarski - The American Mathematical Monthly, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
We define a family of curves, the n-catenaries, parameterized by the nonzero reals. They
include the classical catenaries (n= 1), parabolas (n= 1/2), cycloids (n=− 1/2), and …

The Archimedean projection property

V Coll, J Dodd, M Harrison - Advances in Geometry, 2017 - degruyter.com
Let H be a hypersurface in ℝ n and let π be an orthogonal projection in ℝ n restricted to H.
We say that H satisfies the Archimedean projection property corresponding to π if there …

The Grazing Goat and Spherical Curiosities

M Harrison - Mathematics Magazine, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
We consider a variation of the classical Grazing Goat Problem and we explore connections
to a number of surprising properties of spheres, including the curious volume-accumulation …

On the smoothness of the equizonal ovaloids

V Coll, J Dodd, M Harrison - Journal of Geometry, 2012 - Springer
We show that the n-dimensional equizonal ovaloids are analytic when n is even and are of
exactly C n-1 smoothness when n is odd. This substantially improves the previously …

The hyperspherical functions of a derivative

N Cakic, D Letic, B Davidovic - Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We present the results of theoretical research of the generalized hypersherical function (HS)
by generalizing two known functions related to the sphere hypersurface and hypervolume …

Orthogonal and diagonal dimension fluxes of hyperspherical function

D Letic, N Cakic, B Davidovic, I Berkovic - Advances in Difference …, 2012 - Springer
In this paper, we present the theoretical research results of certain characteristics of the
generalized hyperspherical function with two degrees of freedom as independent …
