We introduce constellation ensembles, in which charged particles on a line (or circle) are linked with charged particles on parallel lines (or concentric circles). We present formulas for the partition functions of these ensembles in terms…
The work provides a brief intuitive overview theory of graph on surfaces. We considers graphs with an additional structure, wich we call discs with ribbons, also known as one-vertex ribbon graphs. And solves the problem (Skopenkov's) about…
We introduce new skein invariants of links based on a procedure where we first apply the skein relation only to crossings of distinct components, so as to produce collections of unlinked knots. We then evaluate the resulting knots using a…
In 2010, Turaev introduced knotoids as a variation on knots that replaces the embedding of a circle with the embedding of a closed interval with two endpoints which here we call poles. We define generalized knotoids to allow arbitrarily…
The motivation of this work is to define cohomology classes in the space of knots that are both easy to find and to evaluate, by reducing the problem to simple linear algebra. We achieve this goal by defining a combinatorial graded cochain…
This is a survey about spectral sets, to appear in the second edition of Handbook of Linear Algebra (L. Hogben, ed.). Spectral sets and K-spectral sets, introduced by John von Neumann, offer a possibility to estimate the norm of functions…
We consider a class of non-polynomial spline spaces over T-meshes, that is, of spaces locally spanned both by polynomial and by suitably-chosen non-polynomial functions, which we will refer to as generalized splines over T-meshes. For such…
The method of constructing trigonometric Hermite splines, which interpolate the values of some periodic function and its derivatives in the nodes of a uniform grid, is considered. The proposed method is based on the periodicity properties…
We present a simple, PDE-based proof of the result [M. Johnson, 2001] that the error estimates of [J. Duchon, 1978] for thin plate spline interpolation can be improved by $h^{1/2}$. We illustrate that ${\mathcal H}$-matrix techniques can…
We present a new paradigm for three dimensional chaos, and specifically for the Lorenz equations. The main difficulty in these equations and for a generic flow in dimension three is the existence of singularities. We show how to use knot…
Let G be a graph whose edges are labeled by positive integers. Label each vertex with an integer and suppose if two vertices are joined by an edge, the vertex labels are congruent to each other modulo the edge label. The set of vertex…
The goal of this short note is to prove that every b-spline curve or surface (generated by uniform knots, without multiplicity) may be defined as minimum of positive quadratic operator.
We describe in this chapter (Chapter IX) the idea of building an algebraic topology based on knots (or more generally on the position of embedded objects). That is, our basic building blocks are considered up to ambient isotopy (not…
Two natural generalizations of knot theory are the study of spatial graphs and virtual knots. Our goal is to unify these two approaches into the study of virtual spatial graphs. This paper is a survey, and does not contain any new results.…
Regular $A_n$-crystals are certain edge-colored directed graphs which are related to representations of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$. For such a crystal $K$ with colors $1,2,...,n$, we consider its…
We look for solutions to derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equations built upon solitons. We prove the existence of multi-solitons i.e. solutions behaving at large time as the sum of finite solitons. We also show that one can attach a kink…
Splines and subdivision curves are flexible tools in the design and manipulation of curves in Euclidean space. In this paper we study generalizations of interpolating splines and subdivision schemes to the Riemannian manifold of shell…
In this note we prove almost sure unisolvence of RBF interpolation on randomly distributed sequences by a wide class of polyharmonic splines (including Thin-Plate Splines), without polynomial addition.
The interference patterns of the surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) on the metal surface from a "point" source are observed. These interference patterns come from the forward SPPs and the reflected one from the obstacles, such as…
Splines can be constructed by convolving the indicator function of a cell whose shifts tessellate $\R^k$. This paper presents simple, non-algebraic criteria that imply that, for regular shift-invariant tessellations, only a small subset of…
