Isoperimetric problem for quasi-Finsler metrics and shapes of least aerodynamic resistance

Lev Lokutsievskiy, Alexander Plakhov

We consider the following model in the framework of Newtonian aerodynamics: a 2D convex body moves forward and slowly oscillates in a rarefied medium on the plane. The law of oscil…

The problem of optimal camouflaging

Alexander Plakhov, Vera Roshchina

We consider the problem of camouflaging for bodies with specular surface in the framework of geometric optics. The index of visibility introduced in [Plakhov 2017] measures the mea…

Rotating rod and ball

Sergey Kryzhevich, Alexander Plakhov

We consider a mechanical system consisting of an infinite rod (a straight line) and a ball (a massless point) on the plane. The rod rotates uniformly around one of its points. The…

Local structure of convex surfaces near regular and conical points

Alexander Plakhov

Consider a point on a convex surface in , and a plane of support to the surface at this point. Draw a plane parallel to cutting a part of the surfac…

On the structure of singular points of a solution to Newton's least resistance problem

Alexander Plakhov

We consider the following problem stated in 1993 by Buttazzo and Kawohl: minimize the functional in the class of concave functi…
