We introduce a rotation-invariant representation of planar shapes. In particular, this representation encodes shapes as vectors such that the Euclidean distance between them serves as a valid shape distance. For standardized, star-shaped…
We study rotational surfaces in Euclidean 3-space whose Gauss curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. By means of a phase plane analysis and under mild assumptions on the prescribed function, we generalize the…

In this paper, we study general rotational surfaces in the 4- dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space E4-2 and obtain a characterization of flat general rotation surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map in E4-2 and give an example of such…
We construct general Wigner rotations for both massive and massless particles in $D$-dimensional spacetime. We work out the explicit expressions of these Wigner rotations for arbitrary Lorentz transformations. We study the relation between…
We consider the classical three-body problem with an arbitrary pair potential which depends on the inter-body distance. A general three-body configuration is set by three "radial" and three angular variables, which determine the shape and…
Orientation estimation is a fundamental task in 3D shape analysis which consists of estimating a shape's orientation axes: its side-, up-, and front-axes. Using this data, one can rotate a shape into canonical orientation, where its…
We consider an infinite 3-dimensional elastic continuum whose material points experience no displacements, only rotations. This framework is a special case of the Cosserat theory of elasticity. Rotations of material points are described…
A smooth map between smooth manifolds is called a special generic map if it has only definite fold points as its singularities. In this paper, we give conditions for a special generic map into the 3-dimensional Euclidean space to be…

We are interested in easy geometric transformations which regularize n-polygons in the non-euclidean plane. A transformation is called easy if it can be easily implemented into an algorithm. This article is motivated by preceding work on…
Using the coefficients introduced by Bargmann and Moshinsky for the reduction of the su($3$) algebra of Cartesian three-dimensional oscillator multiplet states into so($3$) angular momentum submultiplets, we implement unitary rotations of…
This paper proposes a novel formation maneuver control method for both 2-D and 3-D space, which enables the formation to translate, scale, and rotate with arbitrary orientation. The core innovation is the novel design of weights in the…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
Quaternions provide a unified algebraic and geometric framework for representing three-dimensional rotations without the singularities that afflict Euler-angle parametrisations. This article develops a pedagogical and conceptual analysis of…
Shape analysis is ubiquitous in problems of pattern and object recognition and has developed considerably in the last decade. The use of shapes is natural in applications where one wants to compare curves independently of their…
We construct the quaternion algebra [10] "geometrically" by a three dimensional analogue of the classic two dimensional geometric description of the complex field. The algebraic description of the multiplication operation in three…
