The projective hull X^ of a subset X in complex projective space P^n is an analogue of the classical polynomial hull of a set in C^n. If X is contained in an affine chart C^n on P^n, then the affine part of X^ is the set of points x in C^n…
Under conditions that prevent tangential intersection, we prove quadratic convergence of a projection algorithm for the feasibility problem of finding a point in the intersection of a smooth curve and line in $\mathbb{R}^2$. This nonconvex…
Rosenfeld postulated ``generalized'' projective planes, which exploit a correspondence between rank-one idempotents of Jordan algebras $\mathfrak{J}_3(\mathbb{A})$ and points of projective planes $\mathbb{A}P^2$. The isometry groups of the…
Alternating projections and their variants are classical tools for computing points in intersections of sets. Existing analyses for smooth manifolds mainly focus on local convergence rates under transversality or related regularity…
The authors study smooth lines on projective planes over the algebra C of complex numbers, the algebra C^1 of double numbers, and the algebra C^0 of dual numbers. In the space RP^5, to these smooth lines there correspond families of…
We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P2, given a finite point set S={p1, p2,..., pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P2 always exists if at least six points in S are in general…
A new exact projective penalty method is proposed for the equivalent reduction of constrained optimization problems to nonsmooth unconstrained ones. In the method, the original objective function is extended to infeasible points by summing…
The generalized projection-tensor geometry introduced in an earlier paper is extended. A compact notation for families of projected objects is introduced and used to summarize the results of the previous paper and obtain fully projected…
The purpose of the present article is to examine the essence of what has commonlybeen described as a "projective line", but which is here named a "meridian". This shall be done in several papers: this first paper devoted to the meridian…
A real projective orbifold has a radial end if a neighborhood of the end is foliated by projective geodesics that develop into geodesics ending at a common point. It has a totally geodesic end if the end can be completed to have the totally…
Using symplectic topology and the Radon transform, we prove that smooth 4-dimensional projective planes are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We define the notion of a plane curve in a smooth projective plane, show that plane curves in high…
The objective of pose SLAM or pose-graph optimization (PGO) is to estimate the trajectory of a robot given odometric and loop closing constraints. State-of-the-art iterative approaches typically involve the linearization of a non-convex…
We investigate the enumerative geometry of point configurations in projective space. We define "projective configuration counts": these enumerate configurations of points in projective space such that certain specified subsets are in fixed…
This article presents and compares four approaches for computing the rotation of a point about an axis by an angle in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We illustrate these methods by computing, by hand, the rotation of point $P=(1,0,1)^T$ about axis…
Many iterative methods in applied mathematics can be thought of as fixed-point iterations, and such algorithms are usually analyzed analytically, with inequalities. In this paper, we present a geometric approach to analyzing contractive and…
Let k be a perfect field and let K/k be a finite extension of fields. An arithmetic noncommutative projective line is a noncommutative space equal to the projectivization of the noncommutative symmetric algebra of a k-central two -sided…
Images of both rotating celestial bodies (e.g., asteroids) and spheroidal planets with banded atmospheres (e.g., Jupiter) can contain features that are well-modeled as a circle of latitude (CoL). The projections of these CoLs appear as…
We present the applications of variation -- wavelet analysis to polynomial/rational approximations for orbital motion in transverse plane for a single particle in a circular magnetic lattice in case when we take into account multipolar…
This paper reports investigations on the computation of material fronts in multi-fluid models using a Lagrange-Projection approach. Various forms of the Projection step are considered. Particular attention is paid to minimization of…
In most introductory numerical analysis textbooks, the treatment of a single nonlinear equation often consists of a collection of all-purpose methods that frequently do not work or are inefficient. These textbooks neglect to teach the…
