We study bihomogeneous systems defining, non-zero dimensional, biprojective varieties for which the projection onto the first group of variables results in a finite set of points. To compute (with) the 0-dimensional projection and the…
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…
We provide algorithms to reconstruct rational ruled surfaces in three-dimensional projective space from the `apparent contour' of a single projection to the projective plane. We deal with the case of tangent developables and of general…
Any rational map between affine spaces, projective spaces or toric varieties can be described in terms of their affine, homogeneous, or Cox coordinates. We show an analogous statement in the setting of Mori Dream Spaces. More precisely (in…
Cutting plane methods, particularly outer approximation, are a well-established approach for solving nonlinear discrete optimization problems without relaxing the integrality of decision variables. While powerful in theory, their…
The classical theory of plane projective geometry is examined constructively, using both synthetic and analytic methods. The topics include Desargues's Theorem, harmonic conjugates, projectivities, involutions, conics, Pascal's Theorem,…
The goal of this paper is to measure the non-convexity of compact and smooth connected components of real algebraic plane curves. We study these curves first in a general setting and then in an asymptotic one. In particular, we consider…
Unlike polynomials, rational functions can represent functions having poles or branch cuts with root-exponential convergence and no Runge phenomenon. Recent developments of the AAA and greedy Thiele algorithms have sparked renewed interest…
We prove global convergence of classical projection algorithms for feasibility problems involving union convex sets, which refer to sets expressible as the union of a finite number of closed convex sets. We present a unified strategy for…
A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…
Estimation of the level set of a function (i.e., regions where the function exceeds some value) is an important problem with applications in digital elevation mapping, medical imaging, astronomy, etc. In many applications, the function of…
We derive analytic formulas for the alternating projection method applied to the cone $\mathbb{S}^n_+$ of positive semidefinite matrices and an affine subspace. More precisely, we find recursive relations on parameters representing a…
Perceiving the environment via cameras is crucial for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in robotics. While images are a convenient form of representation, they often complicate extracting important geometric details, especially with varying…
This paper discusses some geometric ideas associated with knots in real projective 3-space $\mathbb{R}P^3$. These ideas are borrowed from classical knot theory. Since knots in $\mathbb{R}P^3$ are classified into three disjoint classes, -…
Rayleigh quotient minimization deals with optimizing a quadratic homogeneous function over a sphere. Its critical points correspond to the normalized eigenvectors of the symmetric matrix associated with the quadratic form. In this paper, we…
We propose a new method for segmentation-free joint estimation of orthogonal planes, their intersection lines, relationship graph and corners lying at the intersection of three orthogonal planes. Such unified scene exploration under…
This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we review some recent results concerning the expected number of real roots of random system of polynomial equations. In the second part we deal with a different problem, namely, the…
We give a new perspective on the Lorentzian OPE inversion formula of arXiv:1703.00278, building on arXiv:2302.06469. We introduce an ``auxiliary'' fourpoint function that can be related to the traditionally defined ones via a Radon…
We introduce and investigate an equivalence relation called "radical parallelism" on the projective line over a ring. It is closely related with the Jacobson radical of the underlying ring. As an application, we present a rather general…
Given a polynomial system f, a fundamental question is to determine if f has real roots. Many algorithms involving the use of infinitesimal deformations have been proposed to answer this question. In this article, we transform an approach…
