A triangulation of a surface is irreducible if there is no edge whose contraction produces another triangulation of the surface. In this work we propose an algorithm that constructs the set of irreducible triangulations of any surface with…
We show that the Lagrange interpolation polynomials are biorthogonal with respect to a set of rational functions whose poles coinicde with interpolation points
The main objects of the paper are $z$-oriented triangulations of connected closed $2$-dimensional surfaces. A $z$-orientation of a map is a minimal collection of zigzags which double covers the set of edges. We have two possibilities for an…
A pseudo-triangle is a simple polygon with three convex vertices, and a pseudo-triangulation is a face-to-face tiling of a planar region into pseudo-triangles. Pseudo-triangulations appear as data structures in computational geometry, as…
In constructing the $\mathcal{H}^2$ representation of dense matrices defined by the Laplace kernel, the interpolative decomposition of certain off-diagonal submatrices that dominates the computation can be dramatically accelerated using the…
Tight triangulated manifolds are generalisations of neighborly triangulations of closed surfaces and are interesting objects in Combinatorial Topology. Tight triangulated manifolds are conjectured to be minimal. Except few, all the known…
We consider approximation by functions with finite support and characterize its approximation spaces in terms of interpolation spaces and Lorentz spaces.
We prove quartic convergence of cubic spline interpolation for curves into Riemannian manifolds as the grid size of the interpolation grid tends to zero. In contrast to cubic spline interpolation in Euclidean space, where this result is…
Fix an arbitrary compact orientable surface with a boundary and consider a uniform bipartite random quadrangulation of this surface with $n$ faces and boundary component lengths of order $\sqrt n$ or of lower order. Endow this…
A perturbative technique, the low-temperature expansion, is developed for matrix models of random surfaces. It can be applied to models with arbitrary target spaces, including ones with c>1. As a simple illustration, the series is worked…
This paper aims to develop the mathematical representation of a surface generated by elliptical arcs joining the sides of a regular polygon to a point lying vertically upward on the central axis of the polygon. The volume of the…
We give a complete characterization of limiting interpolation spa\-ces for the real method of interpolation using extrapolation theory. For this purpose the usual tools (e.g., Boyd indices or the boundedness of Hardy type operators) are not…
A main result in this paper is the proof that proximal Delaunay triangulation regions are convex polygons. In addition, it is proved that every Delaunay triangulation region has a local Leader uniform topology.
Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…
We consider whether any two triangulations of a polygon or a point set on a non-planar surface with a given metric can be transformed into each other by a sequence of edge flips. The answer is negative in general with some remarkable…
Discrete normal surfaces are normal surfaces whose intersection with each tetrahedron of a triangulation has at most one component. They are also natural Poincar\'e duals to 1-cocycles with $\ZZ/2\ZZ$-coefficients. For a fixed cohomology…
The mixed area of a Reuleaux polygon and its symmetric with respect to the origin is expressed in terms of the mixed area of two explicit polygons. This gives a geometric explanation of a classical proof due to Chakerian. Mixed areas and…
We study strict inclusion relations between approximation and interpolation spaces.
We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…
We introduce an interpolation--regression operator for polynomial approximation on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ from discrete samples. The approximant is a spherical polynomial of degree $r$ which interpolates the data on a prescribed…
