In affine formation control problems, the construction of the framework with universal rigidity and affine localizability is a critical prerequisite, but it has not yet been well addressed, especially when additional agents join the…

This article presents a deep investigation of fixed points for multivalued weak contractions in cone metric spaces. We extend Berinde weak contraction principles to the multivalued setting in cone metric spaces, developing existence,…

In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…

We revisit finite racks and quandles using a perspective based on permutations which can aid in the understanding of the structure. As a consequence we recover old results and prove new ones. We also present and analyze several examples.

In this paper we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. We pay special attention to fixed point sets of type-preserving isometries of spherical buildings. This sets are also convex subcomplexes of the natural polyhedral structure…

We study convexity properties of distance functions in Finsler unitary groups, where the Finsler structure is defined by translation of the $p$-Schatten norm on the Lie algebra. As a result we prove the existence of circumcenters for sets…

For countably infinite IFSs on $\mathbb R^2$ consisting of affine contractions with diagonal linear parts, we give conditions under which the affinity dimension is an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension and a lower bound for the lower…

The dynamical behavior of switched affine systems is known to be more intricate than that of the well-studied switched linear systems, essentially due to the existence of distinct equilibrium points for each subsystem. First, under…

A $1$-Lipschitz map $f$ from a convex compact set to itself has fixed points. This consequence of Brouwer's or Schauder's fixed point theorem has more elementary proofs by approximating $f$ by $\lambda$-contractions, $f_\lambda$. We study…

This paper explores in some detail a recent proposal (the Rieffel induction/refined algebraic quantization scheme) for the quantization of constrained gauge systems. Below, the focus is on systems with a single constraint and, in this…

We prove that certain Fuchsian triangle groups are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense, i.e. each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. We also develop a method…

In this paper we are concerned with the stabilization of MUSCL-type finite volume schemes in arbitrary space dimensions. We consider a number of limited reconstruction techniques which are defined in terms inequality-constrained linear or…

The space spanned by the characters of twisted affine Lie algebras admit the action of certain congruence subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. By embedding the characters in the space spanned by theta functions, we study an…

Standard abstract model checking relies on abstract Kripke structures which approximate concrete models by gluing together indistinguishable states, namely by a partition of the concrete state space. Strong preservation for a specification…

The von Neumann-Halperin method of alternating projections converges strongly to the projection of a given point onto the intersection of finitely many closed affine subspaces. We propose acceleration schemes making use of two ideas:…
