In constructive quantum field theory (CQFT) it is customary to first regularise the theory at finite UV and IR cut-off. Then one first removes the UV cutoff using renormalisation techniques applied to families of CQFT's labelled by finite…

It has been shown that space-time coordinates can exhibit only very few types of short-distance structures, if described by linear operators: they can be continuous, discrete or "unsharp" in one of two ways. In the literature, various…
This paper addresses the problems of spline interpolation on smooth Riemannian manifolds, with or without the inclusion of least-squares fitting. Our unified approach utilizes gradient flows for successively connected curves or networks,…
This survey gives an overview of three central algebraic themes related to the study of splines: duality, group actions, and homology. Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a prescribed order of smoothness on some subdivided domain…
