Many man-made objects are characterised by a shape that is symmetric along one or more planar directions. Estimating the location and orientation of such symmetry planes can aid many tasks such as estimating the overall orientation of an…

Interpolation of classes of differentiated functions given on a finite interval by trigonometric splines using the phantom node method is considered. This method consists in supplementing a given sequence of values of an approximate…

The problem of finding a vector with the fewest nonzero elements that satisfies an underdetermined system of linear equations is an NP-complete problem that is typically solved numerically via convex heuristics or nicely-behaved nonconvex…

The recently proposed projection quantization, which is a method to quantize particular subspaces of systems with known quantum theory, is shown to yield a genuine quantization in several cases. This may be inferred from exact results…

Every knot projection is simplified to the trivial spherical curve not increasing double points by using deformations of types 1, 2, and 3 which are analogies of Reidemeister moves of types 1, 2, and 3 on knot diagrams. We introduce RII…

We complete the classification of hyperbolic pretzel knots admitting Seifert fibered surgeries. This is the final step in understanding all exceptional surgeries on hyperbolic pretzel knots. We also present results toward similar…

The warping degree of an oriented knot diagram is the minimal number of crossings which we meet as an under-crossing first when we travel along the diagram from a fixed point. The warping degree of a knot projection is the minimal value of…

This paper derives bounds for the ratio of residual norms in the refined and Rayleigh- Ritz projection methods. To do this, it uses the Least squares and line search projection method proposed in [6]. The bound derived in this paper is less…

Given two arbitrary closed sets in Euclidean space, a simple transversality condition guarantees that the method of alternating projections converges locally, at linear rate, to a point in the intersection. Exact projection onto nonconvex…

This work is devoted to establish the strong convergence results of an iterative algorithm generated by the shrinking projection method in Hilbert spaces. The proposed approximation sequence is used to find a common element in the set of…

The paper shows the computation of the noncommutative generalization of the A-polynomial of the trefoil knot. The classical A-polynomial was introduced by Cooper, Culler, Gillet, Long and Shalen, and was generalized to the context of…

In this paper we present an extension of the classical Root-Locus (RL) method where the points are calculated in the real projective plane instead of the conventional affine real plane; we denominate this extension of the Root-Locus as…

We generalize the idea of unknotting knots to Seifert surfaces. We define an operation called ribbon twist which serves as the equivalent of a crossing change for knots. A Seifert surface is considered untwisted, the equivalent to…

We provide an illustration of a geometric structure that exhibits the spin-half wave-function characteristics, namely that its full rotation displays a phase inversion. We show that general fractional-spin geometric structures are possible,…

A Seifert surgery is a pair (K, m) of a knot K in the 3-sphere and an integer m such that m-Dehn surgery on K results in a Seifert fiber space allowed to contain fibers of index zero. Twisting K along a trivial knot called a seiferter for…

We present the chiral knife edge rattleback, an alternative version of previously presented systems that exhibit spin inversion. We offer a full treatment of the model using qualitative arguments, analytical solutions as well as numerical…

Recent works have demonstrated non-line of sight (NLOS) reconstruction by using the time-resolved signal frommultiply scattered light. These works combine ultrafast imaging systems with computation, which back-projects the recorded…

We propose and analyze a versatile and general algorithm called nonlinear forward-backward splitting (NOFOB). The algorithm consists of two steps; first an evaluation of a nonlinear forward-backward map followed by a relaxed projection onto…

We apply results from both contact topology and exceptional surgery theory to study when Legendrian surgery on a knot yields a reducible manifold. As an application, we show that a reducible surgery on a non-cabled positive knot of genus g…

In this paper, we studied the equilibrium problem where the bi-function may be quasiconvex with respect to the second variable and the feasible set is the intersection of a finite number of convex sets. We propose a projection-algorithm,…
