Discrete differential geometry studies the local properties of discrete shapes. Its main purpose is to translate the objects and tools such as curves, surfaces, curvature from smooth category to discrete category so that they can be easily used for computational purposes. One of these tools from smooth category is the Laplace-Beltrami operator whose discrete version is well-known for its applications in geometry processing such as surface smoothing, computing a vector field with prescribed singularities, or mesh parametrization. As the discrete form can be used in computers with more ease, the discretization of the Laplace operator is of utmost importance. In this thesis, after examining two different approaches to discretize Laplacian on triangular meshes, we show that a discrete Laplacian can not preserve all the properties of its smooth counterpart. Finally, we generalize the discretization to general polygonal meshes which allows much more flexibility on applications.

The moduli of surfaces admitting genus two fibrations over elliptic curves
Karadoğan, Gülay; Önsiper, Mustafa Hurşit; Department of Mathematics (2005)
In this thesis, we study the structure, deformations and the moduli spaces of complex projective surfaces admitting genus two fibrations over elliptic curves. We observe that, a surface admitting a smooth fibration as above is elliptic and we employ results on the moduli of polarized elliptic surfaces, to construct moduli spaces of these smooth fibrations. In the case of nonsmooth fibrations, we relate the moduli spaces to the Hurwitz schemes H(1,X(d),n) of morphisms of degree n from elliptic curves to the ...
Hilbert functions of gorenstein monomial curves
Topaloğlu Mete, Pınar; Arslan, Sefa Feza; Department of Mathematics (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to study the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring of embedding dimension four in the case of monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for some families of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. In order to prove this result, under some arithmetic assumptions on generators of the defining ideal, we determine the minimal generators of their tangent cones by using the standard basis and check the Cohen-Macaulayness of them. Lat...
Sturm comparison theory for impulsive differential equations
Özbekler, Abdullah; Ağacık, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2005)
In this thesis, we investigate Sturmian comparison theory and oscillation for second order impulsive differential equations with fixed moments of impulse actions. It is shown that impulse actions may greatly alter the oscillation behavior of solutions. In chapter two, besides Sturmian type comparison results, we give Leightonian type comparison theorems and obtain Wirtinger type inequalities for linear, half-linear and non-selfadjoint equations. We present analogous results for forced super linear and super...
Stacky formulations of Einstein gravity
Berktav, Kadri İlker; Kişisel, Ali Ulaş Özgür; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Mathematics (2021-5-28)
This is a thesis on higher structures in geometry and physics. Indeed, the current work involves an extensive and relatively self-contained investigation of higher categorical and stacky structures in (vacuum) Einstein gravity with vanishing cosmological constant. In the first three chapters of the thesis, we shall provide a realization of the moduli space of Einstein’s field equations as a certain higher space (a stack). In this part of the thesis, the first aim is to present the construction of the moduli...
Periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Büyükadalı, Cemil; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2009)
In this thesis, we study periodic solutions and stability of differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type. These equations can be divided into three main classes: differential equations with retarded, alternately advanced-retarded, and state-dependent piecewise constant argument of generalized type. First, using the method of small parameter due to Poincaré, the existence and stability of periodic solutions of quasilinear differential equations with retarded piecewise constant...
