Magnetic fields play a critical role in the propagation of charged cosmic rays. Particular field configurations supported by different astrophysical objects may be observable in cosmic ray maps. We consider a simple configuration, a…
In this article we consider combinatorial maps approach to graphs on surfaces, and how between them can be establish terminological uniformity in favor of combinatorial maps in way rotations are set as base structural elements and all other…
We consider the method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets, possibly nonconvex. Assuming only the standard transversality condition (or a weaker version thereof), we prove local linear…
In recent years, there has been extensive research on planar metasurfaces capable of arbitrarily controlling scattered fields. However, rigorous studies on conformal metasurfaces, such as those that are cylindrical, have been few in number…
We study the convergence rate of the Circumcentered-Reflection Method (CRM) for solving the convex feasibility problem and compare it with the Method of Alternating Projections (MAP). Under an error bound assumption, we prove that both…
The aim of this paper is to present a new method of approximation of planar data set using only arcs or segments. The first problem we are trying to solve is the following: the CNC machines can work only with simple curves (arcs or…
This paper presents a method for improved analysis of objects with an axial symmetry using X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). Cylindrical coordinates about an axis fixed to the object form the most natural base to check certain characteristics…
Imaging of planets is very difficult, due to the glare from their nearby, much brighter suns. Static and slowly-evolving aberrations are the limiting factors, even after application of adaptive optics. The residual speckle pattern is highly…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
In this work we present an alternative to a full dome digital projection system. The system presented is based upon a single projector coupled to the optical lens (fisheye and objective lens) to scatter the light onto the dome surface. This…
Let a polyhedral convex set be given by a finite number of linear inequalities and consider the problem to project this set onto a subspace. This problem, called polyhedral projection problem, is shown to be equivalent to multiple objective…
In recent years there has been much interest -and progress- in understanding projections of many concrete fractals sets and measures. The general goal is to be able to go beyond general results such as Marstrand's Theorem, and quantify the…
This article is concerned with a geometric tool given by a pair of projector operators defined by almost product structures on finite dimensional manifolds, polarized by a distribution of constant rank and also endowed with some geometric…
State-of-the-art methods for large-scale driving-scene LiDAR semantic segmentation often project and process the point clouds in the 2D space. The projection methods includes spherical projection, bird-eye view projection, etc. Although…
Concatenated backward ray mapping is an alternative for ray tracing in 2D. It is based on the phase-space description of an optical system. Phase space is the set of position and direction coordinates of light rays intersecting a surface.…
This paper combines two ingredients in order to get a rather surprising result on one of the most studied, elegant and powerful tools for solving convex feasibility problems, the method of alternating projections (MAP). Going back to names…
One of the main advantages of reciprocal bianisotropic metasurfaces is their capability to produce asymmetric scattering depending from which side they are illuminated and on the handedness of circularly polarized illuminations. For most…
Given two arbitrary closed sets in Euclidean space, a simple transversality condition guarantees that the method of alternating projections converges locally, at linear rate, to a point in the intersection. Exact projection onto nonconvex…
In this paper we analyse convergence of projected fixed-point iteration on a Riemannian manifold of matrices with fixed rank. As a retraction method we use `projector splitting scheme'. We prove that the projector splitting scheme converges…
With several detections, the technique of gravitational microlensing has proven useful for studying planets that orbit stars at Galactic distances, and it can even be applied to detect planets in neighbouring galaxies. So far, planet…
