In the two-dimensional Liouville conformal field theory, correlation functions involving a degenerate field satisfy partial differential equations due to the decoupling of the null descendant field. On the other hand, the instanton…
We introduce one-center method in spherical coordinates to carry out Hartree-Fock calculations. Both the radial wave function and the angular wave function are expanded by B-splines, and the radial knots and angular knots are adjusted to…
Affine rotation surfaces are a generalization of the well-known surfaces of revolution. Affine rotation surfaces arise naturally within the framework of affine differential geometry, a field started by Blaschke in the first decades of the…
Numerically predicting the performance of heterogenous structures without scale separation represents a significant challenge to meet the critical requirements on computational scalability and efficiency -- adopting a mesh fine enough to…
Modern shape design and capture techniques often lead to the geometric data presented in the form of serial rows of data points. In general, the number of data points varies from row to row. Lofted or skinned B-spline surface interpolation…
Functional data analysis almost always involves smoothing discrete observations into curves, because they are never observed in continuous time and rarely without error. Although smoothing parameters affect the subsequent inference,…
We present an efficient first-principles approach for calculating Fermi surface averages and spectral properties of solids, and use it to compute the low-field Hall coefficient of several cubic metals and the magnetic circular dichroism of…
Following an approach of Dolgachev, Pinkham and Demazure, we classified in math.AG/0210153 normal affine surfaces with hyperbolic $\C^{*}$-actions in terms of pairs of $\Q$-divisors $(D_+,D_-)$ on a smooth affine curve. In the present paper…

Easy to construct and optimally convergent generalisations of B-splines to unstructured meshes are essential for the application of isogeometric analysis to domains with non-trivial topologies. Nonetheless, especially for hexahedral meshes,…
Invariant-based models for incompressible isotropic hyperelasticity are typically formulated as functions of the first and second invariants, $W = W(\bar{I}_1, \bar{I}_2)$. A widely used class of models employs separable representations of…
We prove that the space of affine, transversal at infinity, non-singular real cubic surfaces has 15 connected components. We give a topological criterion to distinguish them and show also how these 15 components are adjacent to each other…
The optical path lengths travelled by rays across a wavefront essentially determine the resulting phase front irrespective of the shape of a medium according to the principle of equal optical path. Thereupon we propose a method for the…
In this paper we study some properties of degenerations of surfaces whose general fibre is a smooth projective surface and whose central fibre is a reduced, connected surface $X \subset IP^r$, $r \geq 3$, which is assumed to be a union of…
We consider generalized $\alpha$-attractor models whose scalar potentials are globally well-behaved and whose scalar manifolds are elementary hyperbolic surfaces. Beyond the Poincar\'e disk $\mathbb{D}$, such surfaces include the hyperbolic…
For the interpolation of graph signals with generalized shifts of a graph basis function (GBF), we introduce the concept of positive definite functions on graphs. This concept merges kernel-based interpolation with spectral theory on graphs…

Geophysical models usually contain both sharp interfaces and smooth variations, and it is difficult to accurately account for both of these two types of medium parameter variations using conventional full-waveform inversion methods. In…
