In this paper we define a numerical shape invariant of a continuous map called shape dimension of a map, which generalizes the shape dimension of a topological space. Some basic properties and applications of this invariant are given. The…
The integrability condition called shape invariance is shown to have an underlying algebraic structure and the associated Lie algebras are identified. These shape-invariance algebras transform the parameters of the potentials such as…
For finite-dimensional bipartite quantum systems, we find the exact size of the largest balls, in spectral $l_p$ norms for $1 \le p \le \infty$, of separable (unentangled) matrices around the identity matrix. This implies a simple and…
In this article, we establish a relationship between geometric quantities of a hypersurface restricted to its boundary, and the geometric quantities of its boundary as a hypersurface of the boundary of the ball. As a first application, we…
In this paper, we investigate analytical and geometric properties of certain non-compact boundary-manifolds, namely manifolds of bounded geometry. One result are strong Bochner type vanishing results for the L^2-cohomology of these…
The magnitude of a finite metric space has recently emerged as a novel invariant quantity, allowing to measure the effective size of a metric space. Despite encouraging first results demonstrating the descriptive abilities of the magnitude,…
Shape is an important physical property of natural and manmade 3D objects that characterizes their external appearances. Understanding differences between shapes and modeling the variability within and across shape classes, hereinafter…
The distance of an almost constant mean curvature boundary from a finite family of disjoint tangent balls with equal radii is quantitatively controlled in terms of the oscillation of the scalar mean curvature. This result allows one to…
We investigate the isomorphism problem in the setting of definable sets (equivalent to sets with atoms): given two definable relational structures, are they related by a definable isomorphism? Under mild assumptions on the underlying…
A bounded curvature path is a continuously differentiable piece-wise $C^2$ path with bounded absolute curvature connecting two points in the tangent bundle of a surface. These paths have been widely considered in computer science and…
We consider the degrees of the elements of a homogeneous system of parameters for the ring of invariants of a binary form, give a divisibility condition, and a complete classification for forms of degree at most 8.
This work is related to billiards and their applications in geometric optics. It is known that perfectly invisible bodies with mirror surface do not exist. It is natural to search for bodies that are, in a sense, close to invisible. We…
We introduce a bottom-up model for simultaneously finding many boundary elements in an image, including contours, corners and junctions. The model explains boundary shape in each small patch using a 'generalized M-junction' comprising M…
Graphs on integer points of polytopes whose edges come from a set of allowed differences are studied. It is shown that any simple graph can be embedded in that way. The minimal dimension of such a representation is the fiber dimension of…
We observe that the $k$-dimensional width of an $n$-ball in a space form is given by the area of an equatorial $k$-ball. We also investigate related lower bounds for the area of a free boundary minimal submanifold in a space form ball.
This survey on graphs of large girth consists of two parts. The first deals with some aspects of algebraic and extremal graph theory loosely related to the Moore bound. Our point of departure for the second, Ramsey theoretic, part are some…
We prove explicit bounds on the radius of a ball centered at the origin which is guaranteed to contain all bounded connected components of a semi-algebraic set $S \subset \mathbbm{R}^k$ defined by a quantifier-free formula involving $s$…
The excluded area between a pair of two-dimensional hard particles with given relative orientation is the region in which one particle cannot be located due to the presence of the other particle. The magnitude of the excluded area as a…
Since edge detection is in the forefront of image processing for object detection, it is crucial to have a good understanding of edge detection algorithms. The reason for this is that edges form the outline of an object. An edge is the…
The problem of 3D object recognition is of immense practical importance, with the last decade witnessing a number of breakthroughs in the state of the art. Most of the previous work has focused on the matching of textured objects using…
