The Local Isometric Embedding of Two-Metrics of Low Differentiability in Euclidean Three Space
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We prove that the isometric embedding of any metric of differentiability class C1 in E3 exists. We use simplified notation for the given metric, namely geodesic parameters, and level parameters for the embedded surface in E3. Central to our discussion will be solutions of initial value problems for two first order non-linear partial differential equations. We also make use of the classical theory of linear algebraic systems. We will prove local isometric embedding. An example is given for which the Gaussian curvature of the metric is equal to one but the embedded surface is non-analytic.
