We develop algorithms and techniques to compute rigorous bounds for finite pieces of orbits of the critical points, for intervals of parameter values, in the quadratic family of one-dimensional maps $f_a (x) = a - x^2$. We illustrate the…
We develop a stochastic modeling approach based on spatial point processes of log-Gaussian Cox type for a collection of around 5000 landslide events provoked by a precipitation trigger in Sicily, Italy. Through the embedding into a…
The quadrature of cut elements is crucial for all Finite Element Methods that do not apply boundary-fitted meshes. It should be efficient, accurate, and robust. Various approaches balancing these requirements have been published, with some…
Let $Y$ be the complement of a plane quartic curve $D$ defined over a number field. Our main theorem confirms the Lang-Vojta conjecture for $Y$ when $D$ is a generic smooth quartic curve, by showing that its integral points are confined in…
We give a fine classification of cubic plane Cremona maps. A previous partial classification was obtained by Cerveau and D\'eserti a few years ago.
Theta graphs are important geometric graphs that have many applications, including wireless networking, motion planning, real-time animation, and minimum-spanning tree construction. We give closed form expressions for the average degree of…
Recent developments in jet clustering are reviewed. We present a list of fast and infrared and collinear safe algorithms, and also describe new tools like jet areas. We show how these techniques can be applied to the study of underlying…
The ability to persist in the spacial environment is, not only in the robotic context, an essential feature. Positional knowledge is one of the most important aspects of space and a number of methods to represent these information have been…
This will is an expository description of quadratic rational maps. Sections 2 through 6 are concerned with the geometry and topology of such maps. Sections 7--10 survey of some topics from the dynamics of quadratic rational maps. There are…
A given order type in the plane can be represented by a point set. However, it might be difficult to recognize the orientations of some point triples. Recently, Aichholzer \etal \cite{abh19} introduced exit graphs for visualizing order…
This thesis is devoted to the study of Quantum Field Theories (QFT) on fuzzy spaces. Fuzzy spaces are approximations to the algebra of functions of a continuous space by a finite matrix algebra. In the limit of infinitely large matrices the…
This text arises from teaching advanced undergraduate courses in differential topology for the master curriculum in Mathematics at the University of Pisa. So it is mainly addressed to motivated and collaborative master undergraduate…
These pages serve two purposes. First, they are notes to accompany the talk "Hyperbolic and projective geometry in constraint programming for CAD" by Walter Whiteley at the "Janos Bolyai Conference on Hyperbolic Geometry", 8--12 July 2002,…
We generalize the construction from arXiv:2102.09329 of theta series for quadratic forms of signature $(n-1,1)$ with homogeneous and spherical polynomials. Namely, we allow that the parameters $c_1,c_2$, which define the theta series and…

The article presents a new approach to euclidean plane geometry based on projective geometric algebra (PGA). It is designed for anyone with an interest in plane geometry, or who wishes to familiarize themselves with PGA. After a brief…
We study the quadratic family of one-dimensional maps $f_a (x) = a - x^2$. We conduct comprehensive numerical analysis of collections of finite orbits of the critical point, computed for intervals of parameter values using rigorous…
A simple, novice-friendly scheme for classifying the image configurations of quadruply lensed quasars is proposed. With only six classes, it is intentionally coarse-grained. It focuses on the kitelikeness and circularity of these…
Preliminary mission design requires an efficient and accurate approximation to the low-thrust rendezvous trajectories, which might be generally three-dimensional and involve multiple revolutions. In this paper, a new shaping method using…
