Fitting concentric geometric objects to digitized data is an important problem in many areas such as iris detection, autonomous navigation, and industrial robotics operations. There are two common approaches to fitting geometric shapes to…
The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…
We determine the numbers of integral tetrahedra with diameter $d$ up to isomorphism for all $d\le 1000$ via computer enumeration. Therefore we give an algorithm that enumerates the integral tetrahedra with diameter at most $d$ in $O(d^5)$…
The search for a point set configurations of the R^3 space which contains the smallest value of the Euclidean Steiner Ratio is almost finished. In the present work we introduce some analytical methods which aim to support a famous…
An ill-posed problem of synthesis of the Pierce electrodes for a cylindrical beam with a polygonal cross-section is considered. It is assumed that a beam of charged particles is extracted from a space-charge-limited planar diode and the…

We give an estimate of the mean curvature of a complete submanifold lying inside a closed cylinder $B(r)\times\R^{\ell}$ in a product Riemannian manifold $N^{n-\ell}\times\R^{\ell}$. It follows that a complete hypersurface of given constant…

The problem is considered of arranging symbols around a cycle, in such a way that distances between different instances of a same symbol be as uniformly distributed as possible. A sequence of moments is defined for cycles, similarly to the…
In this work, we study the tensor ring decomposition and its associated numerical algorithms. We establish a sharp transition of algorithmic difficulty of the optimization problem as the bond dimension increases: On one hand, we show the…
Let $n$ be a positive integer divisible by 8. The Clifford-cyclotomic gate set $\mathcal{G}_n$ consists of the Clifford gates, together with a $z$-rotation of order $n$. It is easy to show that, if a circuit over $\mathcal{G}_n$ represents…
Globally non-positively curved, or CAT(0), polyhedral complexes arise in a number of applications, including evolutionary biology and robotics. These spaces have unique shortest paths and are composed of Euclidean polyhedra, yet many…
We consider the planar Euclidean two-center problem in which given $n$ points in the plane we are to find two congruent disks of the smallest radius covering the points. We present a deterministic $O(n \log n)$-time algorithm for the case…
An important goal in algorithm design is determining the best running time for solving a problem (approximately). For some problems, we know the optimal running time, assuming certain conditional lower bounds. In this work, we study the…
