We describe an algorithm to compute the geodesics in an arbitrary CAT(0) cubical complex. A key tool is a correspondence between cubical complexes of global non-positive curvature and posets with inconsistent pairs. This correspondence also…

In this article, we study birational transformations belonging to Galois points for certain plane quartic curve. In fact, we see that they can be extended to Cremona transformations. In particular, we determine the conjugacy class of them.…

Orientational expansions, which are widely used in the natural sciences, exist in angular and Cartesian form. Although these expansions are orderwise equivalent, it is difficult to relate them in practice. In this article, both types of…
