When considering a graph problem from a parameterized point of view, the parameter chosen is often the size of an optimal solution of this problem (the "standard" parameter). A natural subject for investigation is what happens when we…
The arrow graph of a function consists of two parallel axes, with arrows from input values to output values. The lines through these arrows envelop a curve which we named the focal curve. This paper studies these focal curves in detail. We…
We define a normal form (called the canonical image) of an arbitrary measurable function of several variables with respect to a natural group of transformations; describe a new complete system of invariants of such a function (the system of…
In this paper we develop the theory of equisingular deformations of plane curve singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We study equisingular deformations of the parametrization and of the equation and show that the base space of its…
We propose regression models for curve-valued responses in two or more dimensions, where only the image but not the parametrization of the curves is of interest. Examples of such data are handwritten letters, movement paths or outlines of…
We prove that a planar $C^2$-regular boundary $\Gamma$ can always be parameterized with its closest point projection $\pi$ over a certain collection of edges $\Gamma_h$ in an ambient triangulation, by making simple assumptions on the…
The aim of these notes is to describe how to construct canonical bundles of moving frames and differential invariants for parametrized curves in Lagrangian Grassmannians, at least in the monotonic case. Such curves appear as Jacobi curves…
We construct versal and equimultiple versal deformations of the parametrization of a Legendrian curve.
We identify incompressible planar linear flows that are generalizations of the well known one-parameter family characterized by the ratio of in-plane extension to (out-of-plane) vorticity. The latter `canonical' family is classified into…
We establish existence and uniqueness results for the modified binormal curvature flow equation that generalizes the binormal curvature flow equation for a curve in $\R^3.$ In this generalization, the velocity of the curve is still directed…
In this work, we study plane and spherical curves in Euclidean and Lorentz-Minkowski 3-spaces by employing rotation minimizing (RM) frames. By conveniently writing the curvature and torsion for a curve on a sphere, we show how to find the…
The well known formulas express the curvature and the torsion of a curve in $R^3$ in terms of euclidean invariants of its derivatives. We obtain expressions of this kind for all curvatures of curves in $R^n$. It follows that a curve in…
There is growing body of learning problems for which it is natural to organize the parameters into matrix, so as to appropriately regularize the parameters under some matrix norm (in order to impose some more sophisticated prior knowledge).…
Offset curves for planar trajectories are interesting in the generation of tool paths for numerically controlled industrial machines and in trajectory planning methods for autonomous driving systems. Theoretical offset curves may exhibit…
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
Positive geometry provides a geometric framework where physical observables are encoded as canonical forms associated to regions of kinematic space. In this paper we consider a generalisation to an infinite union of line segments, which…
Note that the family of closed curves C_N={(x,y)\in R^2;x^(2N)+y^(2N)=1} for N=1,2,3,... approaches the boundary of [-1,1]^2 as N \to \infty. In this paper we exhibit a natural parameterization of these curves and generalize to a larger…
In this paper, we present an algorithm for reparametrizing algebraic plane curves from a numerical point of view. That is, we deal with mathematical objects that are assumed to be given approximately. More precisely, given a tolerance…
Variational regularization of ill-posed inverse problems is based on minimizing the sum of a data fidelity term and a regularization term. The balance between them is tuned using a positive regularization parameter, whose automatic choice…
We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the $x$-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field $k$. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be…
