Approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear integral equations using methods related to an interpolatory projection involve many integrals which need to be evaluated using a numerical quadrature formula. In this paper, we consider…
Polyhedral projection is a main operation of the polyhedron abstract domain.It can be computed via parametric linear programming (PLP), which is more efficient than the classic Fourier-Motzkin elimination method.In prior work, PLP was done…
We describe the configuration space $\mathbf{S}$ of polygons with prescribed edge slopes, and study the perimeter $\mathcal{P}$ as a Morse function on $\mathbf{S}$. We characterize critical points of $\mathcal{P}$ (these are…
In this work we extend the approach used in [Emanuel Gallo and Osvaldo M. Moreschi, Phys. Rev. D 83, 12 083007 (2011)] to the study of weak gravitational lensing in a plasma medium. First, we present expressions for the deflection angle and…
Consider the set of solutions to a system of polynomial equations in many variables. An algebraic manifold is an open submanifold of such a set. We introduce a new method for computing integrals and sampling from distributions on algebraic…
We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P2, given a finite point set S={p1, p2,..., pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P2 always exists if at least six points in S are in general…

This paper gives an explicit formula for the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of certain 2-dimensional polyhedra in terms of invariants of surface quotient singularities. Also, a formula for the dimension of the space of quasi-homogeneous…
The study of "random segments" is a classic issue in geometrical probability, whose complexity depends on how it is defined. But in apparently simple models, the random behavior is not immediate. In the present manuscript the following…
The Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a polyhedron (a union of finitely many compact convex polytopes) in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space expresses the Euler characteristic of the polyhedron as a sum of certain curvatures, which are different from…
We present an approach to a large class of enumerative problems concerning rational curves in projective spaces. This approach uses analysis to obtain topological information about moduli spaces of stable maps. We demonstrate it by…
The distinction between the true total area and the projected area is elucidated with soluble models which represent the membrane as a self-avoiding string on a plane. Constraining the total area to a predetermined value changes the…
Polyhedral surfaces are fundamental objects in architectural geometry and industrial design. Whereas closeness of a given mesh to a smooth reference surface and its suitability for numerical simulations were already studied extensively, the…
The general aim of manifold estimation is reconstructing, by statistical methods, an $m$-dimensional compact manifold $S$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ (with $m\leq d$) or estimating some relevant quantities related to the geometric properties of $S$.…
A novel geometrically exact model of the spatially curved Bernoulli-Euler beam is developed. The formulation utilizes the Frenet-Serret frame as the reference for updating the orientation of a cross section. The weak form is consistently…
In this paper, orthogonal projection along a geodesic to the chosen k-plane is introduced using edge and Gram matrix of an n-simplex in hyperbolic or spherical n-space. The distance from a point to k-plane is obtained by the orthogonal…
The projected normal distribution, also known as the angular Gaussian distribution, is obtained by dividing a multivariate normal random variable $\mathbf{x}$ by its norm $\sqrt{\mathbf{x}^T \mathbf{x}}$. The resulting random variable…

We propose a new algorithm to compute the X-ray transform of an image represented by unit (pixel/voxel) basis functions. The fundamental issue is equivalently calculating the intersection lengths of the ray with associated units. For any…
