Spherometer is an instrument widely used for measuring the radius of curvature of a spherical surface. Cylindrometer is a modified spherometer, which can measure the radii of both spherical and cylindrical surfaces. Both of these…
In this paper, the issue of averaging data on a manifold is addressed. While the Fr\'echet mean resulting from Riemannian geometry appears ideal, it is unfortunately not always available and often computationally very expensive. To overcome…
This paper provides a self-contained exploration of subdivisions of simplicial complexes, with emphasis on barycentric subdivision. We present formal definitions of subdivisions, show how the realization of a complex is preserved under…
Wasserstein barycenters define averages of probability measures in a geometrically meaningful way. Their use is increasingly popular in applied fields, such as image, geometry or language processing. In these fields however, the probability…
We describe the range of a restricted spherical mean transform, which sends a function supported inside a closed ball in a hyperbolic space to its mean values on the geodesics spheres centered at the boundary of the ball. The description…
In this article we extend the mean value property for harmonic functions to the nonharmonic case. In order to get the value of the function at the center of a sphere one should integrate a certain Laplace operator power series over the…
