Abstract
SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 1705-1719, September 2024. Abstract.In 2006, Alexander proved a result that implies for a Weingarten surface [math], if [math] is the number of times a closed geodesic winds around the axis of rotation and [math] is the number of times the geodesic oscillates about the equator, then [math] when [math] and [math] when [math]. In this paper, we present another proof of Alexander’s result for the Weingarten surfaces [math] that is simpler and more direct. Our approach uses sharp estimates of certain improper integrals to obtain the intervals for permissible ratios [math]. We numerically compute a number of closed geodesics for various combinations of [math] to illustrate the variety of patterns that are possible.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
