Integer geometry on a plane deals with objects whose vertices are points in $\mathbb Z^2$. The congruence relation is provided by all affine transformations preserving the lattice $\mathbb Z^2$. In this paper we study circumscribed circles…
Query embedding (QE) -- which aims to embed entities and first-order logical (FOL) queries in low-dimensional spaces -- has shown great power in multi-hop reasoning over knowledge graphs. Recently, embedding entities and queries with…

We study skew-product dynamics for a large class of finitely-generated semi--hyperbolic semigroups of rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere, which generalizes both the theory of iteration of a single rational map of a single complex…
We introduce the notion of rational Hopf algebras that we think are able to describe the superselection symmetries of two dimensional rational quantum field theories. As an example we show that a six dimensional rational Hopf algebra $H$…

We fully generalize a previously-developed computational geometry tool [1] to perform large-scale simulations of arbitrary two-dimensional faceted surfaces $z = h(x,y)$. Our method uses a three-component facet/edge/junction storage model,…

One commonly finds in applications of smooth radial basis functions (RBFs) that scaling the kernels so they are `flat' leads to smaller discretization errors. However, the direct numerical approach for computing with flat RBFs (RBF-Direct)…
Spline interpolation has been used in several applications due to its favorable properties regarding smoothness and accuracy of the interpolant. However, when there exists a discontinuity or a steep gradient in the data, some artifacts can…
