Modern shape design and capture techniques often lead to the geometric data presented in the form of serial rows of data points. In general, the number of data points varies from row to row. Lofted or skinned B-spline surface interpolation…
Engineering design via CAD software relies on Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) as a means for representing and communicating geometry. Therefore, in general, a NURBS description of a given design can be considered the exact…
Flow matching is a scalable generative framework for characterizing continuous normalizing flows with wide-range applications. However, current state-of-the-art methods are not well-suited for modeling dynamical systems, as they construct…
Multi-degree Tchebycheffian splines are splines with pieces drawn from extended (complete) Tchebycheff spaces, which may differ from interval to interval, and possibly of different dimensions. These are a natural extension of multi-degree…
The main intention of the paper is to investigate an osculating curve under the conformal map. We obtain a sufficient condition for the conformal invariance of an osculating curve. We also find an equivalent system of a geodesic curve under…
We propose a method to efficiently compute tomographic projections of a 3D volume represented by a linear combination of shifted B-splines. To do so, we propose a ray-tracing algorithm that computes 3D line integrals with arbitrary…
Particle tracing through numerical integration is a well-known approach to generating pathlines for visualization. However, for particle simulations, the computation of pathlines is expensive, since the interpolation method is complicated…
With the renewed and growing interest in geometric continuity in mind, this article gives a general definition of geometrically continuous polygonal surfaces and geometrically continuous spline functions on them. Polynomial splines defined…
In graph learning, maps between graphs and their subgraphs frequently arise. For instance, when coarsening or rewiring operations are present along the pipeline, one needs to keep track of the corresponding nodes between the original and…
This document contains a concise and unified reference for one of the existing mechanizations of the UD Kalman filter. The associated matrix algorithms are also included along with the corresponding references.
In applications that involve interactive curve and surface modeling, the intuitive manipulation of shapes is crucial. For instance, user interaction is facilitated if a geometrical object can be manipulated through control points that…
We present a unified framework for 3D geometric abstraction using a single continuous 4D wire, parameterized as a B-spline with spatial coordinates and variable width $(x,y,z,w)$. Existing approaches typically represent shapes as…
In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…
Splines are central objects for the interpolation of discrete data via piecewise smooth paths. Their iterated-integral signature is an infinite collection of tensors which characterizes paths almost uniquely. We study truncations of this…
This article first introduces the concept of a general pseudo-homogeneous triangular norm. It then gives some properties of general pseudo-homogeneous triangular norms. Finally, it characterizes all general pseudo-homogeneous triangular…
We provide a representation of the homomorphisms $U\longrightarrow \mathbb R$, where $U$ is the lattice of all uniformly continuous on the line. The resulting picture is sharp enough to describe the fine topological structure of the space…
We determine the structure of linear maps on complex (real) square matrices sending unitary (orthogonal) matrices to multiples of unitary (orthogonal) matrices. The result is used to determine the linear preservers of matrix pairs…
We introduce here Cartesian splines or, for short, C-splines. C- splines are piecewise polynomials which are defined on adjacent Cartesian coordinate systems and are Cr continuous throughout. The Cr continuity is enforced by constraining…
Unique-sink orientations (USOs) are an abstract class of orientations of the n-cube graph. We consider some classes of USOs that are of interest in connection with the linear complementarity problem. We summarise old and show new lower and…
