%0 Journal Article %T Simple Piecewise Geodesic Interpolation of Simple and Jordan Curves with Applications %A Horatio Boedihardjo %A Xi Geng %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We explicitly construct simple, piecewise minimizing geodesic, arbitrarily fine interpolation of simple and Jordan curves on a Riemannian manifold. In particular, a finite sequence of partition points can be specified in advance to be included in our construction. Then we present two applications of our main results: the generalized Green's theorem and the uniqueness of signature for planar Jordan curves with finite p-variation for 1<=p<2. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1309.1576v2
