In two previous articles [Phys. Rev. D71 (2005) 124307 (gr-qc/0503007), and gr-qc/0607001] we have discussed several "algorithmic" techniques that permit one (in a purely mechanical way) to generate large classes of general relativistic…
This paper presents an alternative formulation of the geodesic normal distribution on the sphere, building on the work of Hauberg (2018). While the isotropic version of this distribution is naturally defined on the sphere, the anisotropic…
Since the 1980s, it has been known that essential surfaces in alternating link complements can be isotoped to be transverse to the link diagram almost everywhere, with the exception of some well-understood intersections, and described…
This work addresses a modification of the random geometric graph (RGG) model by considering a set of points uniformly and independently distributed on the surface of a $(d-1)$-sphere with radius $r$ in a $d-$dimensional Euclidean space,…
All spherically symmetric Riemannian metrics of constant scalar curvature in any dimension can be written down in a simple form using areal coordinates. All spherical metrics are conformally flat, so we search for the conformally flat…
Wasserstein Barycenter is a principled approach to represent the weighted mean of a given set of probability distributions, utilizing the geometry induced by optimal transport. In this work, we present a novel scalable algorithm to…

Barycentric algebras are an abstraction of the notion of convex sets, defined by a set of equations. We study semitopological and topological barycentric algebras, in the spirit of a previous study by Klaus Keimel on semitopological and…

This paper explores a full generalization of the classical corner-vector method for constructing weighted spherical designs, which we call the {\it generalized corner-vector method}. First we establish a uniform upper bound for the degree…
This paper generalizes the result of Elmachtoub et al to any weighted barycenter, where a transformation is considered which takes an arbitrary point of division $\xi \in (0,1)$ of the segments of a polygon with $n$ vertices. We then…
The author proposes a new geometry in this book. The author named this new geometry Intercenter Geometry. Intercenter Geometry is different from traditional Euclidean geometry and analytic geometry (coordinate geometry). The idea of…
We introduce a notion of barycenter of a probability measure related to the symmetric mean of a collection of nonnegative real numbers. Our definition is inspired by the work of Hal\'asz and Sz\'ekely, who in 1976 proved a law of large…
It is well-known that cross caps on surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space can be expressed in Bruce-West's normal form, which is a special local coordinate system centered at the singular point. In this paper, we show a certain kind of…
Let P_d be a convex polygon with d vertices. The associated Wachspress surface W_d is a fundamental object in approximation theory, defined as the image of the rational map w_d from P^2 to P^{d-1}, determined by the Wachspress barycentric…
Comparative visualization of scalar fields is often facilitated using similarity measures such as edit distances. In this paper, we describe a novel approach for similarity analysis of scalar fields that combines two recently introduced…
A problem that is simple to state in the context of spherical geometry, and that seems rather interesting, appears to have been unexamined to date in the mathematical literature. The problem can also be recast as a problem in the real…
