The geometric distortion of CCD field of view has direct influence on the positional measurements of CCD observations. In order to obtain high precision astrometric results, the geometric distortion should be derived and corrected…
A variety of descent and major-index statistics have been defined for symmetric groups, hyperoctahedral groups, and their generalizations. Typically associated to pairs of such statistics is an Euler--Mahonian distribution, a bivariate…
In the present chapter, we obtain the reconstruction of Theaetetus' theory of ratios of magnitudes based, according to Aristotle's Topics 158b, on the definition of proportion in terms of equal anthyphairesis. Our reconstruction is built on…
The Parareal algorithm is used to solve time-dependent problems considering multiple solvers that may work in parallel. The key feature is a initial rough approximation of the solution that is iteratively refined by the parallel solvers. We…
The proper Euclidean geometry is considered to be metric space and described in terms of only metric and finite metric subspaces (sigma-immanent description). Constructing the geometry, one does not use topology and topological properties.…
The Apollonius theorem gives the length of a median of a triangle in terms of the lengths of its sides. The straightforward generalization of this theorem obtained for m-simplices in the n-dimensional Euclidean space for n greater than or…
Astronomy depends on ever increasing computing power. Processor clock-rates have plateaued, and increased performance is now appearing in the form of additional processor cores on a single chip. This poses significant challenges to the…
The estimation of correspondences between two images resp. point sets is a core problem in computer vision. One way to formulate the problem is graph matching leading to the quadratic assignment problem which is NP-hard. Several so called…
The next generation of telescopes will acquire terabytes of image data on a nightly basis. Collectively, these large images will contain billions of interesting objects, which astronomers call sources. The astronomers' task is to construct…
The recent paper published in European Journal of Physics [1] aimed to demonstrate the kinematical and dynamical equivalence of heliocentric and geocentric systems. The work is performed in the Neo-Tychonian system, with key assumption that…
We describe a strategy for computing Yukawa couplings and the mirror map, based on the Picard-Fuchs equation. (Our strategy is a variant of the method used by Candelas, de la Ossa, Green, and Parkes in the case of quintic hypersurfaces.) We…

We develop a triangular formulation of the hierarchical Poincar\'e-Steklov (HPS) method for elliptic partial differential equations on surfaces, allowing high-order discretizations on unstructured meshes and complex geometries. Classical…
In this paper we deal with $\NIL$ geometry, which is one of the homogeneous Thurston 3-geometries. We define the "surface of a geodesic triangle" using generalized Apollonius surfaces. Moreover, we show that the "lines" on the surface of a…
A geometrical pattern is a set of points with all pairwise distances (or, more generally, relative distances) specified. Finding matches to such patterns has applications to spatial data in seismic, astronomical, and transportation…
We study $N$-point rational distance sets ($\textrm{RDS}(N)$) on the parabola $y=x^2$. Previous approaches to the problem include efforts made using elliptic curves and diophantine chains, with successful analysis for $N\leq 4$. We extend…
An almost forgotten gem of Gauss tells us how to compute the area of a pentagon by just going around it and measuring areas of each vertex triangles (i.e. triangles whose vertices are three consecutive vertices of the pentagon). We give…
In the present paper, we consider two applications of the pentagon equation. The first deals with actions of flips on edges of triangulations labelled by rational functions in some variables. The second can be formulated as a system of…
We trace the development of arguments for the consistency of non-Euclidean geometries and for the independence of the parallel postulate, showing how the arguments become more rigorous as a formal conception of geometry is introduced. We…
In this paper, we examine the evolution of a specific mathematical problem, i.e. the nine-point conic, a generalisation of the nine-point circle due to Steiner. We will follow this evolution from Steiner to the Neapolitan school (Trudi and…
