In this paper we outline an algorithmic approach to compute Puiseux series expansions for algebraic surfaces. The series expansions originate at the intersection of the surface with as many coordinate planes as the dimension of the surface.…

We solve Poisson's equation using new multigrid algorithms that converge rapidly. The novel feature of the 2D and 3D algorithms are the use of extra diagonal grids in the multigrid hierarchy for a much richer and effective communication…
The Perspective-Three-Point Problem (P3P) is solved by first focusing on determining the directions of the lines through pairs of control points, relative to the camera, rather than the distances from the camera to the control points. The…
The computation of the topology of a real algebraic plane curve is greatly simplified if there are no more than one critical point in each vertical line: the general position condition. When this condition is not satisfied, then a finite…
We study the shortcut Fr\'{e}chet distance, a natural variant of the Fr\'{e}chet distance, that allows us to take shortcuts from and to any point along one of the curves. The classic Fr\'echet distance is a bottle-neck distance measure and…
