This paper continues the study of a class of compact convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}, ~n \geq 1$, which are boundaries of compact convex bodies obtained by taking the intersection of (solid) confocal paraboloids of…
We propose a new method for constructing rational spatial Pythagorean Hodograph (PH) curves based on determining a suitable rational framing motion. While the spherical component of the framing motion is arbitrary, the translation part is…

High-dimensional interpolation problems appear in various applications of uncertainty quantification, stochastic optimization and machine learning. Such problems are computationally expensive and request the use of adaptive grid generation…
In CAGD the design of a surface that interpolates an arbitrary quadrilateral mesh is definitely a challenging task. The basic requirement is to satisfy both criteria concerning the regularity of the surface and aesthetic concepts. With…
Let $P : \Sigma \rightarrow S$ be a finite degree covering map between surfaces. Rafi and Schleimer show that there is an induced quasi-isometric embedding $\Pi : \mathcal{C}(S) \rightarrow \mathcal{C}(\Sigma)$ between the associated curve…
Consider a rational family of planar rational curves in a certain region of interest. We are interested in finding an approximation to the implicit representation of the envelope. Since exact implicitization methods tend to be very costly,…
In statistical learning theory, interpolation spaces of the form $[\mathrm{L}^2,H]_{\theta,r}$, where $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, are in widespread use. So far, however, they are only well understood for fine index $r=2$. We…
Nowadays, climate models rely on couplers. Each complete climate model is broken into different sub-models (oceanic, atmospheric,...), each one working on a different grid. The coupler brings these models together and interpolates the…
In this contribution, we extend the concept of $\mathcal{H}_2$ inner product and $\mathcal{H}_2$ pseudo-optimality to dynamical systems modeled by differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). To this end, we derive projected Sylvester equations…
Based on the computation of a superset of the implicit support, implicitization of a parametrically given hyper-surface is reduced to computing the nullspace of a numeric matrix. Our approach exploits the sparseness of the given parametric…

Image interpolation algorithms pervade many modern image processing and analysis applications. However, when their weighting schemes inefficiently generate very unrealistic estimates, they may negatively affect the performance of the end…
We extend the theory of tautological classes on moduli spaces of stable curves to the more general setting of moduli spaces of admissible Galois covers of curves, introducing the so-called H-tautological ring. The main new feature is the…
We consider the problem of interpolating a function given on scattered points using Hermite-Birkhoff formulas on the sphere and other manifolds. We express each proposed interpolant as a linear combination of basis functions, the…
In areas such as kernel smoothing and non-parametric regression there is emphasis on smooth interpolation and smooth statistical models. Splines are known to have optimal smoothness properties in one and higher dimensions. It is shown, with…

\emph{Minkowski rings} are certain rings of simple functions on the Euclidean space $W = {\mathbb{R}}^d$ with multiplicative structure derived from Minkowski addition of convex polytopes. When the ring is (finitely) generated by a set…
By associating to a curve C of genus g=2k and a pencil of degree d=k+1 the so-called trace curve (resp. the reduced trace curve) we define a rational map from the Hurwitz space of admissible covers of genus g=2k and degree d=k+1 to a moduli…
