We develop a new algorithm for fitting circles that does not have drawbacks commonly found in existing circle fits. Our fit achieves ultimate accuracy (to machine precision), avoids divergence, and is numerically stable even when fitting…
Positive interpolatory cubature formulas (CFs) are constructed for quite general integration domains and weight functions. These CFs are exact for general vector spaces of continuous real-valued functions that contain constants. At the same…
Curvature has received increased attention as an important alternative to length based regularization in computer vision. In contrast to length, it preserves elongated structures and fine details. Existing approaches are either inefficient,…
Spherical symmetry is ubiquitous in nature. It's therefore unfortunate that spherical system simulations are so hard, and require complete spheres with millions of interacting particles. Here we introduce an approach to model spherical…
We present a novel methodology for the numerical solution of problems of diffraction by infinitely thin screens in three dimensional space. Our approach relies on new integral formulations as well as associated high-order quadrature rules.…
In this paper, we deal with several aspects of the universal Frolov cubature method, that is known to achieve optimal asymptotic convergence rates in a broad range of function spaces. Even though every admissible lattice has this favorable…
Driven by several successful applications such as in stochastic gradient descent or in Bayesian computation, control variates have become a major tool for Monte Carlo integration. However, standard methods do not allow the distribution of…
As described by Cachazo, He and Yuan, scattering amplitudes in many quantum field theories can be represented as integrals that are fully localized on solutions to the so-called scattering equations. Because the number of solutions to the…
This paper explores a full generalization of the classical corner-vector method for constructing weighted spherical designs, which we call the {\it generalized corner-vector method}. First we establish a uniform upper bound for the degree…
We look for critical points with U(2) residual symmetry in 5-dimensional maximally supersymmetric gauged supergravity, by varying the embedding tensor, rather than directly minimizing the scalar potential. We recover all previously known…
We consider here 6-regular plane graphs whose faces have size 1, 2 or 3. In Section 2 a practical enumeration method is given that allowed us to enumerate them up to 53 vertices. Subsequently, in Section 3 we enumerate all possible symmetry…
We describe a computer algorithm that searches for substitution rules on a set of triangles, the angles of which are all integer multiples of {\pi}/n. We find new substitution rules admitting 7-fold rotational symmetry at many different…
Quasi-Monte Carlo methods are used for numerically integrating multivariate functions. However, the error bounds for these methods typically rely on a priori knowledge of some semi-norm of the integrand, not on the sampled function values.…
We provide explicit expressions for quadrature rules on the space of $C^1$ cubic splines with non-uniform, symmetrically stretched knot sequences. The quadrature nodes and weights are derived via an explicit recursion that avoids an…
All binary plane curves of degree less than 7 are examined for curves with a large number of Fq rational points on their smooth model, for q = 2^m ; m = 3, 4,...,11. Previous results are improved, and many new curves are found meeting or…
In lattice Quantum Field Theory, we are often presented with integrals over polynomials of coefficients of matrices in U(N) or SU(N) with respect to the Haar measure. In some physical situations, e.g., in presence of a chemical potential,…
In a recent article the first three authors proved that in dimension $4m+1$ all homotopy spheres that bound parallelizable manifolds admit Einstein metrics of positive scalar curvature which, in fact, are Sasakian-Einstein. They also…

The well-known spatial integration schemes in molecular electronic structure theory, immune to cusps and point singularities of some kind at atomic positions, use a set of weighting functions to split the integrand into a sum of…
A novel numerical approach to solving the shallow-water equations on the sphere using high-order numerical discretizations in both space and time is proposed. A space-time tensor formalism is used to express the equations of motion…
