Given a simple polygon $ \mathcal {P} $ of $ n $ vertices in the Plane. We study the problem of computing the visibility area from a given viewpoint $ q $ inside $ \mathcal {P} $ where only sub-linear variables are allowed for working…
This paper models light scattering through flat surfaces with finite transmission, reflection and absorption rates, with wave packets approaching the mirror from both sides. While using the same notion of photons as in free space, our model…

For finite abstract simplicial complex $\Sigma$, initial realization $\alpha$ in $\mathbb{E}^d$, and desired edge lengths $L$, we give practical sufficient conditions for the existence of a non-self-intersecting perturbation of $\alpha$…
We provide formulas for projectors onto a polyhedral set, i.e. the intersection of a finite number of halfspaces. To this aim we formulate the problem of finding the projection as a convex optimization problem and we solve explicitly…
We investigate integral-geometric quantities arising from harmonic analysis which measure visibility and transversality. Motivated by their applications in multilinear Kakeya problems and affine-invariant measures on surfaces, we derive…
We have developed a method to measure the mirror reflectivity of telescopes. While it is relatively easy to measure the local reflectivity of the mirror material, it is not so straightforward to measure the amount of light that it focuses…
The reflectivity of photonic cluster is important property for nanophotonic applications especially when one needs to hide the cluster or to make it extremely visible. Currently, where are no methods clearly describing how to create the…
The main purpose of part (III) is to give explicit geodesics and billiard orbits in polysquares that exhibit time-quantitative density. In many instances, we can even establish a best possible form of time-quantitative density called…
We study unit disk visibility graphs, where the visibility relation between a pair of geometric entities is defined by not only obstacles, but also the distance between them. That is, two entities are not mutually visible if they are too…
The subtour relaxation of the traveling salesman problem (TSP) plays a central role in approximation algorithms and polyhedral studies of the TSP. A long-standing conjecture asserts that the integrality gap of the subtour relaxation for the…
We generalize our theorems in "Mirror Principle I" to a class of balloon manifolds. Many of the results are proved for convex projective manifolds. In a subsequent paper, Mirror Principle III, we will extend the results to projective…
We derive a formula for the light field of a monochromatic plane wave that is truncated and reflected by a spherical mirror. Our formula is valid even for deep mirrors, where the aperture radius approaches the radius of curvature. We apply…
Let $P$ be a polygon with $r>0$ reflex vertices and possibly with holes and islands. A subsuming polygon of $P$ is a polygon $P'$ such that $P \subseteq P'$, each connected component $R$ of $P$ is a subset of a distinct connected component…
Suppose that a polygon $P$ is given as an array containing the vertices in counterclockwise order. We analyze how many vertices (including the index of each of these vertices) we need to know before we can bound $P$, i.e., report a bounded…
Perfect lensing using negative refractive index materials and radiationless electromagnetic interference both provide extreme subwavelength focusing by "amplifying" evanescent wave components that are usually lost. This paper provides a…
Let an orthogonal polyhedron be the union of a finite set of boxes in $\mathbb R^3$ (i.e., cuboids with edges parallel to the coordinate axes), whose surface is a connected 2-manifold. We study the NP-complete problem of guarding a…
We discovered that only a weakened version of the main lemma is true. We state the right version, and the remaining open problem: Is it possible to approximate holomorphic vector fields (or more generally, sections in a line bundle) on an…
We derive the exact analytical solutions to the symmetron field theory equations in the presence of a one or two mirror system. The one dimensional equations of motion are integrated exactly for both systems and their solutions can be…
This paper presents a geometric approach to the classical isoperimetric problem by analysing the efficiency of regular polygons in enclosing maximum area for a fixed perimeter. Using efficiency metrics, it proves that regular polygons…
