The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between suborbifolds and orbifold embeddings. In particular, we give natural definitions of the notion of suborbifold and orbifold embedding and provide many examples.…
In this paper, we study the problem of computing a homotopy from a planar curve $C$ to a point that minimizes the area swept. The existence of such a minimum homotopy is a direct result of the solution of Plateau's problem. Chambers and…
We show that, for any given $q\geq 0$, any Sasakian structure on a closed manifold $M$ is approximated in the $C^{q}$-norm by structures induced by CR embeddings into weighted Sasakian spheres. In order to obtain this result, we also…
For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…
Computing a quasi-developable strip surface bounded by design curves finds wide industrial applications. Existing methods compute discrete surfaces composed of developable lines connecting sampling points on input curves which are not…
We propose a new algorithm for approximating the metric projection onto a superelliptic disk of order $p>1$, i.e., the convex hull of a superellipse (Lam\'e curve), and prove its convergence.
Graph embeddings deal with injective maps from a given simple, undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ into a metric space, such as $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the Euclidean metric. This concept is widely studied in computer science, see \cite{ge1}, but also…
\v{C}ech complexes reveal valuable topological information about point sets at a certain scale in arbitrary dimensions, but the sheer size of these complexes limits their practical impact. While recent work introduced approximation…
Subdivision surfaces are considered as an extension of splines to accommodate models with complex topologies, making them useful for addressing PDEs on models with complex topologies in isogeometric analysis. This has generated a lot of…
We present a new method for visualizing implicit real algebraic curves inside a bounding box in the $2$-D or $3$-D ambient space based on numerical continuation and critical point methods. The underlying techniques work also for tracing…
Let C be an algebraic curve in a power of an elliptic curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We show that the set of algebraic points of C which satisfy certain conditions is a finite set. This result has implications with the…
This article gives an introduction for mathematicians interested in numerical computations in algebraic geometry and number theory to some recent progress in algorithmic number theory, emphasising the key role of approximate computations…
We study the approximation of maps into complex manifolds along with interpolation on certain compact subsets of the plane. Results are also obtained regarding approximation and interpolation of sections of holomorphic submersions.
We describe rings over which every right module is almost injective. We give a description of rings over which every simple module is a almost projective.
Belyi's theorem asserts that a smooth projective curve $X$ defined over a number field can be realized as a cover of the projective line unramified outside three points. In this short paper we investigate the bejaviour of the minimal degree…
Semigroup theory is a branch of abstract algebra, and it provides mathematical tools for the theory of computation. Finite semigroups can describe state transition systems and thus they model physically realizable computers. Engineering…
We initiate the study of computational complexity of graph coverings, aka locally bijective graph homomorphisms, for {\em graphs with semi-edges}. The notion of graph covering is a discretization of coverings between surfaces or topological…
For some values of the degrees of the equations, we show, using geometric invariant theory, that the coarse moduli space of smooth complete intersections in P^N is quasi-projective. ----- Pour certaines valeurs des degres des equations, on…
Given a curve f and a surface S, how hard is it to find a simple curve f' in S that is the most similar to f? We introduce and study this simple curve embedding problem for piecewise linear curves and surfaces in R^2 and R^3, under…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over $\Qbar$, let $\pi:\mathcal{E}\lra C$ be an elliptic surface and let $\sigma_{P_1},\sigma_{P_2},\sigma_{Q}$ be sections of $\pi$ (corresponding to points $P_1,P_2, Q$ of the generic fiber $E$…
