The central problem of strip theory is the calculation of potential flowaround 2D sections. One particular method of solutions to this problem is conformal mapping of the body section to the unit circle over which a solution of potential…
We discuss computability and computational complexity of conformal mappings and their boundary extensions. As applications, we review the state of the art regarding computability and complexity of Julia sets, their invariant measures and…
We study pseudoholomorphic discs with boundaries attached to a real hypersurface in an almost complex manifold. We give sufficient conditions for filling a one sided neighborhood of the hypersurface by the discs.
Given a set of disks in the plane, the goal of the problem studied in this paper is to choose a subset of these disks such that none of its members contains the centre of any other. Each disk not in this subset must be merged with one of…
The so-called motorcycle graph has been employed in recent years for various purposes in the context of structured and aligned block decomposition of 2D shapes and 2-manifold surfaces. Applications are in the fields of surface…
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…
Numerical and theoretical aspects of conformal mappings from a disk to a circular-arc quadrilateral, symmetric with respect to the coordinate axes, are developed. The problem of relating the accessory parameters (prevertices together with…
Consider an analytic map of a neighborhood of 0 in a vector space to a Euclidean space. Suppose that this map takes all germs of lines passing through 0 to germs of circles. Such a map is called rounding. We introduce a natural equivalence…
This paper examines options for orbit configurations for a space interferometer. In contrast to previously presented concepts for space very long baseline interferometry, we propose a combination of regular and retrograde near-Earth…

The Relativistic Dynamical Inversion technique, a novel tool for finding analytical solutions to the Dirac equation, is written in explicitly covariant form. It is then shown how the technique can be used to make a change from Cartesian to…
A new parametric surface representation is proposed that interpolates the vertices of a given closed mesh of arbitrary topology. Smoothly connecting quadrilateral patches are created by blending local, multi-sided quadratic interpolants. In…
We discuss the direct use of cubic-matrix splines to obtain continuous approximations to the unique solution of matrix models of the type $Y''(x) = f(x,Y(x))$. For numerical illustration, an estimation of the approximation error, an…
We consider an inverse problem arising in thermo-/photo- acoustic tomography that amounts to reconstructing a function $f$ from its circular or spherical means with the centers lying on a given measurement surface. (Equivalently, these…
I derive directional wave equations useful for pulses propagating in beam, rod, pipe, and disk geometries by using a cylindrical coordinate system; the scheme works equally well for either long multi-cycle or single-cycle ultrashort pulses.…
We explore optimal circular nonconvex partitions of regular k-gons. The circularity of a polygon is measured by its aspect ratio: the ratio of the radii of the smallest circumscribing circle to the largest inscribed disk. An optimal…
An exact formula is derived, as an integral, for the mean square winding angle of Brownian motion (that is, diffusion) after time t, around an infinitely long impenetrable cylinder of radius a, having started at radius R(>a) from the axis.…
We study conformal mappings from the unit disk (or a rectangle) to one-tooth gear-shaped planar domains from the point of view of the Schwarzian derivative, with emphasis on numerical considerations. Applications are given to evaluation of…
A ``Wick rotation'' is applied to the noncommutative sphere to produce a noncommutative version of the hyperboloids. A harmonic basis of the associated algebra is given. It is noted that, for the one sheeted hyperboloid, the vector space…
Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…
