Projecting fields between different meshes commonly arises in computational physics. This operation requires a supermesh construction and its computational cost is proportional to the number of cells of the supermesh $n$. Given any two…

Highly connected and yet sparse graphs (such as expanders or graphs of high treewidth) are fundamental, widely applicable and extensively studied combinatorial objects. We initiate the study of such highly connected graphs that are, in…
We provide a necessary condition for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form of a given homogeneous space of reductive type. The key to the proof is to combine a result of Kobayashi-Ono with an elementary fact that certain two…

We present a novel family of $C^1$ quadrilateral finite elements, which define global $C^1$ spaces over a general quadrilateral mesh with vertices of arbitrary valency. The elements extend the construction by (Brenner and Sung, J. Sci.…
We consider M-estimators and derive supremal-inequalities of exponential-or polynomial type according as a boundedness- or a moment-condition is fulfilled. This enables us to derive rates of r-complete convergence and also to show r-qick…

We develop finite element spaces of symmetric tensor products of two-forms with polynomial coefficients. In three dimensions, these give higher order finite element spaces of matrix fields with normal-normal continuity, which have…
We study conditions on a commutative ring R which are equivalent to the following requirement; whenever X is a projective scheme over S = Spec(R) of fiber dimension \leq d for some integer d \geq 0, there is a finite morphism from X to…
Two types of finite element spaces on triangles are constructed for div-div conforming symmetric tensors. Besides the normal-normal continuity, the stress tensor is continuous at vertices and another trace involving combination of…

This paper describes an efficient approach to constructing a resultant polyline with a minimum number of segments and arcs. While fitting an arc can be done with complexity O(1) (see [1] and [2]), the main complexity is in checking that the…
