In the last decade, developments in tropical geometry have provided a number of uses directly applicable to problems in statistical learning. The TML package is the first R package which contains a comprehensive set of tools and methods…
We present a new software pipeline -- PyMorph -- for automated estimation of structural parameters of galaxies. Both parametric fits through a two dimensional bulge disk decomposition as well as structural parameter measurements like…
Understanding the lives and interior structures of stellar objects is a fundamental objective of astrophysics. Research in this domain often relies on the visualization of astrophysical data, for instance, the results of theoretical…
We show how our p-adic method to compute Galois representations occurring in the torsion of Jacobians of algebraic curves can be adapted to modular curves. The main ingredient is the use of "moduli-friendly" Eisenstein series introduced by…
Normals with unknown variance (NUV) and, more generally, normals with unknown parameters (NUP) can represent many useful priors including L_p norms and other sparsifying priors, and they blend well with linear-Gaussian models and Gaussian…
I describe the design, implementation, and usage of galpy, a Python package for galactic-dynamics calculations. At its core, galpy consists of a general framework for representing galactic potentials both in Python and in C (for accelerated…
This article presents a novel approach to identifying and classifying intersections for semantic and topological mapping. More specifically, the proposed novel approach has the merit of generating a semantically meaningful map containing…
One of the most fundamental ingredients in mixed-integer nonlinear programming solvers is the well-known McCormick relaxation for a product of two variables x and y over a box-constrained domain. The starting point of this paper is the fact…
We investigate the use of conformal maps for the acceleration of convergence of the trapezoidal rule and Sinc numerical methods. The conformal map is a polynomial adjustment to the $\sinh$ map, and allows the treatment of a finite number of…
In this work we report on a new version of FeynCalc, a Mathematica package widely used in the particle physics community for manipulating quantum field theoretical expressions and calculating Feynman diagrams. Highlights of the new version…
The venerable NOD2 data reduction software package for single-dish radio continuum observations, developed for use at the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope, has been successfully applied over many decades. Modern computing facilities call…
Conducting research often involves managing multiple disconnected tools for survey design, data collection, response analysis, and report generation, leading to inefficiencies, increased error risks, and challenges in ensuring…
This note wants to explain how to obtain meaningful pictures of (possibly high-dimensional) convex polytopes, triangulated manifolds, and other objects from the realm of geometric combinatorics such as tight spans of finite metric spaces…
OSCAR is an innovative new computer algebra system which combines and extends the power of its four cornerstone systems - GAP (group theory), Singular (algebra and algebraic geometry), Polymake (polyhedral geometry), and Antic (number…
The circumcentered-reflection method (CRM) has been applied for solving convex feasibility problems. CRM iterates by computing a circumcenter upon a composition of reflections with respect to convex sets. Since reflections are based on…
Robust and accurate visual-inertial estimation is crucial to many of today's challenges in robotics. Being able to localize against a prior map and obtain accurate and driftfree pose estimates can push the applicability of such systems even…
This paper provides a local convergence analysis of the proximal augmented Lagrangian method (PALM) applied to a class of non-convex conic programming problems. Previous convergence results for PALM typically imposed assumptions such as…
We briefly summarize the background of the HeLP-method for torsion units in group rings and present some functionality of a GAP-package implementing it.
We present a Python toolbox for holographic and tomographic X-ray imaging. It comprises a collection of phase retrieval algorithms for the deeply holographic and direct contrast imaging regimes, including non-linear approaches and extended…
We present a MATLAB package called the Pha-sorArray Toolbox that has been developed to make harmonic analysis and control methods both practical and user-friendly. The toolbox adopts an object-oriented architecture that enables intuitive…
