A good cover in R^d is a collection of open contractible sets in R^d such that the intersection of any subcollection is either contractible or empty. Motivated by an analogy with convex sets, intersection patterns of good covers were…
In this paper a parameterized generalization of a good cover filtration is introduced called an {\epsilon}-good cover, defined as a cover filtration in which the reduced homology groups of the image of the inclusions between the…
The Rips complex at scale r of a set of points X in a metric space is the abstract simplicial complex whose faces are determined by finite subsets of X of diameter less than r. We prove that for X in the Euclidean 3-space R^3 the natural…
This thesis explores two specific topics of discrete geometry, the multitriangulations and the polytopal realizations of products, whose connection is the problem of finding polytopal realizations of a given combinatorial structure. A…
Finding the k-medianin a network involves identifying a subset of k vertices that minimize the total distance to all other vertices in a graph. This problem has been extensively studied in computer science, graph theory, operations…
Tomographic imaging reveals internal structures of 3D objects and is crucial for medical diagnoses. Visualizing the morphology and appearance of non-planar sparse anatomical structures that extend over multiple 2D slices in tomographic…
In this paper, we present a comprehensive system for the treatment of the topic of limits--conceptually, computationally, and formally. The system addresses fundamental linguistic flaws in the standard presentation of limits, which attempts…
Compositional Explanations is a method for identifying logical formulas of concepts that approximate the neurons' behavior. However, these explanations are linked to the small spectrum of neuron activations (i.e., the highest ones) used to…
This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
We define and study a class of finite topological spaces, which model the cell structure of a space obtained by gluing finitely many Euclidean convex polyhedral cells along congruent faces. We call these finite topological spaces,…
\v{C}ech complexes are useful simplicial complexes for computing and analyzing topological features of data that lies in Euclidean space. Unfortunately, computing these complexes becomes prohibitively expensive for large-sized data sets…
In a spiking neural network, is it enough for each neuron to spike at most once? In recent work, approximation bounds for spiking neural networks have been derived, quantifying how well they can fit target functions. However, these results…
The notion of a complex tangent arises for embeddings of real manifolds into complex spaces. It is of particular interest when studying embeddings of real $n$-dimensional manifolds into $\mathbb{C}^n$. The generic topological structure of…
Due to the complexity of the human body, most diseases present a high inter-personal variability in the way they manifest, i.e. in their phenotype, which has important clinical repercussions - as for instance the difficulty in defining…
An extremal $k$-packing is a collection of $k$ mutually disjoint metric discs, embedded in a surface, whose radius is maximal for the given topology. We study compact non-orientable surfaces of genus $g\ge 3$ containing extremal…
We use the topology of simplicial complexes to model political structures following [1]. Simplicial complexes are a natural tool to encode interactions in the structures since a simplex can be used to represent a subset of compatible…
We investigate zigzags in triangulations of connected closed $2$-dimensional surfaces and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between triangulations with homogeneous zigzags and closed $2$-cell embeddings of directed Eulerian…
We describe an efficient algorithm to compute a pseudotriangulation of a finite planar family of pairwise disjoint convex bodies presented by its chirotope. The design of the algorithm relies on a deepening of the theory of visibility…
As an introduction to the concept of "moduli space" we consider the moduli space of similarity classes of acute and right triangles in the plane. This has a map to the moduli space of elliptic curves which is onto and generically…
Every compact oriented Riemann surface with a finite group of self homeomorphisms can be embedded conformally in Euclidean three space so that the image group acts conformally. Here we establish necessary and sufficient conditions on the…
