An oriented link projection is the image of a generic immersion of oriented circles into the 2-sphere. The circle arrangement of a link projection is a disjoint union of unoriented circles on the 2-sphere obtained by orientation-incoherent…
We present two new constructions in the usual euclidean plane. We only deal with 'Grecian Geometry', with this phrase we mean elementary geometry in the two-dimensional space R 2 . We describe and prove two propositions about 'projections'.…
Random Projection is a foundational research topic that connects a bunch of machine learning algorithms under a similar mathematical basis. It is used to reduce the dimensionality of the dataset by projecting the data points efficiently to…
We discuss homogeneity and universality issues in the theory of abstract linear spaces, namely, structures with points and lines satisfying natural axioms, as in Euclidean or projective geometry. We show that the two smallest projective…
We define angles from-to and between infinite dimensional subspaces of a Hilbert space, inspired by the work of E. J. Hannan, 1961/1962 for general canonical correlations of stochastic processes. The spectral theory of selfadjoint operators…
This paper constructs the geometrically natural objects which are associated with any projection tensor field on a manifold with any affine connection. The approaches to projection tensor fields which have been used in general relativity…
It is well-known that the sequence of iterations of the composition of projections onto closed affine subspaces converges linearly to the projection onto the intersection of the affine subspaces when the sum of the corresponding linear…
Given two nonempty and disjoint intersections of closed and convex subsets, we look for a best approximation pair relative to them, i.e., a pair of points, one in each intersection, attaining the minimum distance between the disjoint…
Let $L_1,L_2,\dots,L_K$ be a family of closed subspaces of a Hilbert space $H$, $L_1\cap \dots \cap L_K =\{0\}$; let $P_k$ be the orthogonal projection onto $L_k$. We consider two types of consecutive projections of an element $x_0\in H$:…
We extend Jordan's notion of principal angles to work for two subspaces of quaternionic space, and so have a method to analyze two orthogonal projections in M_n(A) for A the real, complex or quaternionic field (or skew field). From this we…
This paper investigates the relationship between a system of differential equations and the underlying geometry associated with it. The geometry of a surface determines shortest paths, or geodesics connecting nearby points, which are…
The purpose of the present article is to examine the essence of what has commonlybeen described as a "projective line", but which is here named a "meridian". This shall be done in several papers: this first paper devoted to the meridian…
The method of alternation projections (MAP) is an iterative procedure for finding the projection of a point on the intersection of closed subspaces of an Hilbert space. The convergence of this method is usually slow, and several methods for…
The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of geometry, from a point of view which complements Klein's Erlangen program. The emphasis is on extending the classical Euclidean geometry to the finite case, but it goes beyond that. After…
We study the nonexpansivity of reflection mappings in geodesic spaces and apply our findings to the averaged alternating reflection algorithm employed in solving the convex feasibility problem for two sets in a nonlinear context. We show…
The basic tool for solving problems in metric geometry and isotonic regression is the metric projection onto closed convex cones. Isotonicity of these projections with respect to a given order relation can facilitate finding the solutions…
This article is concerned with a geometric tool given by a pair of projector operators defined by almost product structures on finite dimensional manifolds, polarized by a distribution of constant rank and also endowed with some geometric…
We fully characterize orthogonal projections of infinite right circular (round) cones in real Hilbert spaces. Another interpretation is that, given two vectors in a real Hilbert space, we establish the optimal estimate on the angle between…
Let $P$ be a set of points and $L$ a set of lines in the (extended) Euclidean plane, and $I \subseteq P\times L$, where $i =(p,l) \in I$ means that point $p$ and line $l$ are incident. The incidences can be interpreted as quadratic…
This paper is aimed at presenting a systematic survey of the existing now different formulations for the problem of projection of the origin of the Euclidean space onto the convex polyhedron (PPOCP). In the present paper, there are…
