We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on projections on C^1 bases and on extreme points of the point process.…
In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem associated to an elliptic Kirchhoff-type equation depending on two parameters. Under rather general and natural assumptions, we prove that, for certain values of the parameters, the problem…
We prove existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the two-phase Stefan problem with Gibbs-Thomson law where the free interface forms a ninety degree contact angle with the fixed boundary. We also discuss existence of global solutions…
Deciding whether a family of disjoint line segments in the plane can be linked into a simple polygon (or a simple polygonal chain) by adding segments between their endpoints is NP-hard.
The classical Heron problem states: \emph{on a given straight line in the plane, find a point $C$ such that the sum of the distances from $C$ to the given points $A$ and $B$ is minimal}. This problem can be solved using standard geometry or…
In this paper the Wiener--Hopf factorisation problem is presented in a unified framework with the Riemann--Hilbert factorisation. This allows to establish the exact relationship between the two types of factorisation. In particular, in the…
Considering a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem, we present an analysis for a superconvergence result using pointwise interpolation of Gau{\ss}-Lobatto type for higher-order streamline diffusion FEM. We show a useful…

Let $ l =[l_0,l_1]$ be the directed line segment from $l_0\in {\mathbb R}^n$ to $l_1\in{\mathbb R}^n.$ Suppose $\bar l=[\bar l_0,\bar l_1]$ is a second segment of equal length such that $l, \bar l$ satisfy the "two sticks condition": $\|…

In this paper we study the two-dimensional moment problem in a strip $\Pi(R) = \{ (x_1,x_2)\in \mathbb{R}^2:\ |x_2| \leq R \}$, $R>0$. We obtained a solvability criterion for this moment problem. We derived a parameterization of all…
A linear connection is associated to a nonlinear connection on a vector bundle by a linearization procedure. Our definition is intrinsic in terms of vector fields on the bundle. For a connection on an affine bundle our procedure can be…
We study the truncated multidimensional moment problem with a general type of truncations. The operator approach to the moment problem is presented. A way to construct atomic solutions of the moment problem is indicated.
In this paper, we investigate the Euler-Bernoulli fourth-order boundary value problem (BVP) $w^{(4)}=f(x,w)$, $x\in \intcc{a,b}$, with specified values of $w$ and $w''$ at the end points, where the behaviour of the right-hand side $f$ is…
The inversion problem for rational B\'ezier curves is addressed by using resultant matrices for polynomials expressed in the Bernstein basis. The aim of the work is not to construct an inversion formula but finding the corresponding value…
We study the problem of optimizing nonlinear objective functions over bipartite matchings. While the problem is generally intractable, we provide several efficient algorithms for it, including a deterministic algorithm for maximizing convex…
This paper presents an iterative method suitable for inverting semilinear problems which are important kernels in many numerical applications. The primary idea is to employ a parametrization that is able to reduce semilinear problems into…
We consider a bilevel problem involving two monotone equilibrium bifunctions and we show that this problem can be solved by a proximal point method with generalized proximal distances. We propose a framework for the convergence analysis of…
This paper investigates the projectivization of real vector bundles over small covers. We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for such a projectivization to be a small cover. Then associated with moment-angle manifolds, we…
