A class of analytic planar 3-RPR manipulators is analyzed in this paper. These manipulators have congruent base and moving platforms and the moving platform is rotated of 180 deg about an axis in the plane. The forward kinematics is reduced…
Computing intrinsic distances on discrete surfaces is at the heart of many minimization problems in geometry processing and beyond. Solving these problems is extremely challenging as it demands the computation of on-surface distances along…
In this paper, we propose using curvatures in digital space for 3D object analysis and recognition. Since direct adjacency has only six types of digital surface points in local configurations, it is easy to determine and classify the…
The medial axis $M_X$ of a closed set $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is the set of points from the ambient space that admit more than one closest point in $X$. We study the problem of reaching the singularities, i.e. of characterising the points…
Higher-order tensor methods were recently proposed for minimizing smooth convex and nonconvex functions. Higher-order algorithms accelerate the convergence of the classical first-order methods thanks to the higher-order derivatives used in…
Tensor diagonalization means transforming a given tensor to an exactly or nearly diagonal form through multiplying the tensor by non-orthogonal invertible matrices along selected dimensions of the tensor. It is generalization of approximate…
In this paper we present a high-order kernel method for numerically solving diffusion and reaction-diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) on smooth, closed surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For two-dimensional surfaces embedded…

We present a family of high order trapezoidal rule-based quadratures for a class of singular integrals, where the integrand has a point singularity. The singular part of the integrand is expanded in a Taylor series involving terms of…
Given everyday artifacts, such as tables and chairs, humans recognize high-level regularities within them, such as the symmetries of a table, the repetition of its legs, while possessing low-level priors of their geometries, e.g., surfaces…
This paper is devoted to studying the first-order variational analysis of non-convex and non-differentiable functions that may not be subdifferentially regular. To achieve this goal, we entirely rely on two concepts of directional…
In this paper we discuss the relationship between the moving planes of a rational parametric surface and the singular points on it. Firstly, the intersection multiplicity of several planar curves is introduced. Then we derive an equivalent…

The non-linear transformations incurred by the rays in an optical system can be suitably described by matrices to any desired order of approximation. In systems composed of uniform refractive index elements, each individual ray refraction…
We introduce a new formalism and a number of new results in the context of geometric computational vision. The classical scope of the research in geometric computer vision is essentially limited to static configurations of points and lines…
To definite and compute differential invariants, like curvatures, for triangular meshes (or polyhedral surfaces) is a key problem in CAGD and the computer vision. The Gaussian curvature and the mean curvature are determined by the…

Functionals that penalize bending or stretching of a surface play a key role in geometric and scientific computing, but to date have ignored a very basic requirement: in many situations, surfaces must not pass through themselves or each…
The problem of finding of analytical gradients (derivatives over atoms coordinates) of solvation energies can be decomposed on two subtasks: at the first stage we search for parameters of the superficial devices (three coordinates, three…
