We study seminormalization of affine complex varieties. We show that polynomials on the seminormalization correspond to the rational functions which are continuous for the Euclidean topology. We further study this type of functions which…
Trigonometric and hyperbolic B-splines can be computed via recurrence relations analogous to the classical polynomial B-splines. However, in their original formulation, these two types of B-splines do not form a partition of unity and…
We introduce a convolutional neural network that operates directly on graphs. These networks allow end-to-end learning of prediction pipelines whose inputs are graphs of arbitrary size and shape. The architecture we present generalizes…
We introduce here a direct method to construct multivariate explicit B-spline bases. B-splines are piecewise polynomials, which are defined on adjacent tetrahedra and which are $C^{r}$ continuous throughout. The $C^{r}$ continuity is…
We obtain $C^2$ a priori estimates for solutions of the nonlinear second-order elliptic equation related to the geometric problem of finding a strictly locally convex hypersurface with prescribed curvature and boundary in a space form.…
Trilinear mappings appear naturally when performing spatial isogeometric discretizations of degree $p = 1$. Among them, birational maps are characterized by the property that both the mapping and the associated inverse map are rational and…
Motivated by recent data analyses in biomedical imaging studies, we consider a class of image-on-scalar regression models for imaging responses and scalar predictors. We propose using flexible multivariate splines over triangulations to…
Linear programming (polynomial) techniques are used to obtain lower and upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical designs. This approach gives unified bounds that are valid for a large class of potential functions. Our lower bounds…
This paper presents and analyses a new family of linear subdivision schemes to refine noisy data given on triangular meshes. The subdivision rules consist of locally fitting and evaluating a weighted least squares approximating first-degree…
We construct an orthogonal basis of functions defined over the unit circle as the product of the common sinusoidal functions of the azimuth angle by radial functions which are essentially sines of a polynomials of the radial distance to the…
Two Magma functions are given: one computes linear systems of plane curves with non-ordinary singularities and the other computes a scheme which parametrizes given degree plane curves with given singularities. These functions provide an…
Easy to construct and optimally convergent generalisations of B-splines to unstructured meshes are essential for the application of isogeometric analysis to domains with non-trivial topologies. Nonetheless, especially for hexahedral meshes,…
We study the module $C^r(\mathcal{P})$ of piecewise polynomial functions of smoothness $r$ on a pure $n$-dimensional polytopal complex $\mathcal{P}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, via an analysis of certain subcomplexes $\mathcal{P}_W$ obtained from…
A unified construction of high order shape functions is given for all four classical energy spaces ($H^1$, $H(\mathrm{curl})$, $H(\mathrm{div})$ and $L^2$) and for elements of "all" shapes (segment, quadrilateral, triangle, hexahedron,…
We introduce a conceptually simple and efficient algorithm for seamless parametrization, a key element in constructing quad layouts and texture charts on surfaces. More specifically, we consider the construction of parametrizations with…
In this paper we consider the approximation of a function by its interpolating multilinear spline and the approximation of its derivatives by the derivatives of the corresponding spline. We derive formulas for the uniform approximation…
This paper reviews a class of univariate piecewise polynomial functions known as discrete splines, which share properties analogous to the better-known class of spline functions, but where continuity in derivatives is replaced by (a…
For triangulations generated by the adaptive bisection algorithm by Maubach and Traxler we prove existence of a regularized mesh function with grading two. This sharpens previous results in two dimensions for the newest vertex bisection and…
In this work we present an algorithm to construct an infinitely differentiable smooth surface from an input consisting of a (rectilinear) triangulation of a surface of arbitrary shape. The original surface can have non-trivial genus and…
