Abstract


Our aim is to study the evolutions of Tzitzeica hypersurfaces which appear in understanding the dynamics of some geometric programming problems and reliability optimal allocation problems. Section 2 analyses the convexity of a Tzitzeica hypersurface. Sections 3-6 refer to standard Tzitzeica hypersurfaces and their evolutions by convenient geometrical flows: (i) evolution along the normal vector field, (ii) infinitesimal normal transformation of a Tzitzeica hypersurface, (iii) evolution along a centro affine vector field, and (iv) evolution along an affine vector field. Sections 7-8 include results on the Tzitzeica law in economics and the evolution of Tzitzeica surfaces described by PDEs: (v) Tzitzeica hypersurfaces as invariants w.r.t. excess demand flow; (vi) parametric Tzitzeica surfaces based on PDEs and their evolutions.
