The problem of decomposing non-manifold object has already been studied in solid modeling. However, the few proposed solutions are limited to the problem of decomposing solids described through their boundaries. In this thesis we study the…

A doubling covering $\U$ of a complex $n$-dimensional manifold $Y$ consists of analytic functions $\psi_j:B_1\to Y$, each function being analytically extendable, as a mapping to $Y$, to a four times larger concentric ball $B_4$. Main result…

The large $N$ asymptotic expansion of the partition function for the normal matrix model is predicted to have special features inherited from its interpretation as a two-dimensional Coulomb gas. However for the latter, it is most natural to…

We consider the distance minimization problem to a real algebraic variety $X \subseteq \RR^n$ when the metric is induced by a polyhedral norm. Each point in the variety has a Voronoi cell whose geometry depends on the normal space at the…

We construct a structure preserving non-conforming finite element approximation scheme for the bi-harmonic wave maps into spheres equation. It satisfies a discrete energy law and preserves the non-convex sphere constraint of the continuous…

We introduce a general framework for the construction of polynomial frames in $L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})$, $d \geq 3$, where the frame functions are obtained as rotated versions of an initial sequence of polynomials $\Psi^j$, $j\in…

We consider a compact smooth manifold $X$ of dimension $n+1$ with boundary $M=\partial X$. In a collar neighborhood of $M$, we assume that the metric has the form $g=u^{-\alpha}\bar g$, where $u$ is a boundary defining function, $\alpha\in…

We compute the convex hull in $\mathbb{C}^2$ of an arbitrary finite subgroup of ${\mathbb{C}^*}^2$. The combinatorics are dictated by continued fractions in a natural way. This reproves a theorem of Smilansky, with a slightly stronger…
