In computed tomography, data consist of measurements of the attenuation of X-rays passing through an object. The goal is to reconstruct the linear attenuation coefficient of the object's interior. For each position of the X-ray source,…
This paper is a survey of some of the developments in coarse extrinsic geometry since its inception in the work of Gromov. Distortion, as measured by comparing the diameter of balls relative to different metrics, can be regarded as one of…
A widely used approximation of the Gaussian curvature on a triangulated surface is the angle defect, which measures the deviation between $2\pi$ and the sum of the angles between neighboring edges emanating from a common vertex. We show…
This paper proposes a novel framework for implicit multi-camera system calibration utilizing Gaussian Process (GP) regression. Conventional explicit calibration methods are constrained by rigid mathematical models and struggle with complex,…
Based on the gauge invariant variables proposed in our previous paper [K. Nakamura, Prog. Theor. Phys. vol.110 (2003), 723.], some formulae of the perturbative curvatures of each order are derived. We follow the general framework of the…
It is known that any explicit averaging scheme of the type essential for describing the large scale behaviour of the Universe, must necessarily yield corrections to the Einstein equations applied in the Cosmological setting. The question of…
Gravitational lensing provides a unique and powerful probe of the mass distributions of distant galaxies. Four-image lens systems with fold and cusp configurations have two or three bright images near a critical point. Within the framework…
In this paper, we study two classic optimization problems: minimum geometric dominating set and set cover. In the dominating-set problem, for a given set of objects in {the} plane as input, the objective is to choose a minimum number of…
Arithmetic combinatorics is often concerned with the problem of bounding the behaviour of arbitrary finite sets in a group or ring with respect to arithmetic operations such as addition or multiplication. Similarly, combinatorial geometry…
We apply ideas from the theory of limits of dense combinatorial structures to study order types, which are combinatorial encodings of finite point sets. Using flag algebras we obtain new numerical results on the Erd\H{o}s problem of finding…
In this paper, we derive new sharp weighted Alexandrov-Fenchel and Minkowski inequalities for smooth, closed hypersurfaces under various convexity assumptions in Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic spaces. These inequalities extend…
The stationary points of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of unit volume metrics on a given closed manifold are known to be precisely the Einstein metrics. One may consider the modified problem of finding stationary points…
This essay, an excerpt of the author's Ph.D. in Philosophy of mathematics (2012) thought of as being a companion to recent discoveries of new explicit Cartan geometry curvatures, analyzes how Gauss, after having devised the isometrically…
Image registration is a classical problem in machine vision which seeks methods to align discrete images of the same scene to subpixel accuracy in general situations. As with all estimation problems, the underlying difficulty is the partial…
In the paper we treat Gale diagrams in a combinatorial way. The interpretation allows to describe simplicial complexes which are Alexander dual to boundaries of simplicial polytopes and, more generally, to nerve-complexes of general…
We define and discuss the notion of pseudospherical surfaces in asymptotic coordinates on time scales. Thus we extend well known notions of discrete pseudospherical surfaces and smooth pseudosperical surfaces on more exotic domains (e.g,…
Geometric problems are usually formulated by means of (exterior) differential systems. In this theory, one enriches the system by adding algebraic and differential constraints, and then looks for regular solutions. Here we adopt a dual…
The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…
In the present paper we apply the Nash's theory of perturbative geometry to the study of dark matter gravity in a higher-dimensional space-time. It is shown that the dark matter gravitational perturbations at local scale can be explained by…
As a natural application of the {\it theory of geometric averaging} in Finsler geometry and generalized Finsler geometry, a new approach to investigate {\it generalized Finsler geometry}, based on a convex invariance of the average…
