We study several natural instances of the geometric hitting set problem for input consisting of sets of line segments (and rays, lines) having a small number of distinct slopes. These problems model path monitoring (e.g., on road networks)…
The aim of these notes is to provide a reasonably short and "hands-on" introduction to the differential calculus on associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero. Following a suggestion of Ginzburg's we call the resulting theory…
These notes grew out of several introductory talks I gave during the years 2003--2005 on motivic integration. They give a short but thorough introduction to the flavor of motivic integration which nowadays goes by the name of geometric…
We present a geometric perspective on sparse filtrations used in topological data analysis. This new perspective leads to much simpler proofs, while also being more general, applying equally to Rips filtrations and Cech filtrations for any…
Logarithmic integrals revisited. We consider integrals of the form $\int_0^1 \ln{\ln{(\frac{1}{x})}}R{(x)}{\rm d}x$ again, where $R{(x)}$ is a rational function, and we will explain a way to obtain their values.
A geometric derivation of nonholonomic integrators is developed. It is based in the classical technique of generating functions adapted to the special features of nonholonomic systems. The theoretical methodology and the integrators…
The goals of this paper are first to describe and then to apply an ergodic-theoretic generalization of the Siegel integral formula from the geometry of numbers. The general formula will be seen to serve both as a guide and as a tool for…
The goal of this survey is to give a list of resent results about topology of manifolds admitting different metrics with the same geodesics. We emphasize the role of the theory of integrable systems in obtaining these results.
Gauss quadrature integral approximation is extended to include integrals with a measure consisting of continuous as well as discrete components. That is, we give an approximation for the integral of a function plus its sum over a discrete…
Using the classification of formal deformation quantizations, and the formal, algebraic index theorem, I give a simple proof as to which formal deformation quantization (modulo isomorphism) is derived from a given geometric quantization.
We consider the problem of finding embedded closed geodesics on the two-sphere with an incomplete metric defined outside a point. Various techniques including curve shortening methods are used.
We consider the space of geodesic laminations on a surface, endowed with the Hausdorff metric d_H and with a variation of this metric called the d_log metric. We compute and/or estimate the Hausdorff dimensions of these two metrics. We also…
By decomposing the regular representation of a particular (Heisenberg-like) Lie supergroup into irreducible subspaces, we show that not all of them can be obtained by applying geometric quantization to coadjoint orbits with an even…
A rather general ergodic type scheme is presented on arbitrary sets X, as they are generated by arbitrary mappings T : X \longrightarrow X. The structures considered on X are given by suitable subsets of the set of all of its finite…
The study of some parametric integrals is presented with a combined approach of analytical development, the usage of a Computed Algebra System (CAS) and of the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. The methodology for the solution…
In this contribution we discuss new features of SecDec-3.0, a public program for the evaluation of dimensionally-regulated parametric integrals using sector decomposition. We will focus on two main aspects: the implementation of an improved…
A class of log-trigonometric integrals are evaluated in terms of elliptic functions. From this, by using the elliptic integral singular values, one can obtain closed form evaluations of integrals such as \[…
A complete treatment of the intersections of two geodesics on the surface of an ellipsoid of revolution is given. With a suitable metric for the distances between intersections, bounds are placed on their spacing. This leads to fast and…
In this short survey article, we showcase a number of non-trivial geometric problems that have recently been resolved by marrying methods from functional calculus and real-variable harmonic analysis. We give a brief description of these…
The aim of this note is to give a simpler proof of a result of Avsec, which states that $q$-Gaussian algebras have the complete metric approximation property.
