Spherically symmetric solutions in F(R) theories in astronomical systems with rising energy density are studied. The range of parameters is established for which the flat space-time approximation for the background metric is valid. For the…
Saddle-point configurations, such as the Euclidean bounce and sphalerons, are known to be difficult to find numerically. In this Letter we study a new method, Quartic Gradient Flow, to search for such configurations. The central idea is to…
The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…
Collisional fragmentation is a ubiquitous phenomenon arising in a variety of astrophysical systems, from asteroid belts to debris and protoplanetary disks. Numerical studies of fragmentation typically rely on discretizing the size…

Optimal transport provides a powerful framework for comparing measures while respecting the geometry of their support, but comes with an expensive computational cost, hindering its potential application to real world use cases. On…
Embedding graphs in a geographical or latent space, i.e.\ inferring locations for vertices in Euclidean space or on a smooth manifold or submanifold, is a common task in network analysis, statistical inference, and graph visualization. We…
We propose a geometric method for quantifying the difference between parametrized curves in Euclidean space by introducing a distance function on the space of parametrized curves up to rigid transformations (rotations and translations).…
A novel numerical approach to solving the shallow-water equations on the sphere using high-order numerical discretizations in both space and time is proposed. A space-time tensor formalism is used to express the equations of motion…
A geometrical pattern is a set of points with all pairwise distances (or, more generally, relative distances) specified. Finding matches to such patterns has applications to spatial data in seismic, astronomical, and transportation…
The spherometer used for measuring radius of curvature of spherical surfaces is explicitly based on a geometric relation unique to circles and spheres. We present an alternate approach using coordinate geometry, which reproduces the…
The article suggests a new approach what is called a consistency method for the inversion of the spherical Radon transform in 2D with detectors on a line. It is known that there is not an exact inversion formula in 2D. By means of the…
We consider the following problem about dispersing points. Given a set of points in the plane, the task is to identify whether by moving a small number of points by small distance, we can obtain an arrangement of points such that no pair of…
We describe the first strongly subquadratic time algorithm with subexponential approximation ratio for approximately computing the Fr\'echet distance between two polygonal chains. Specifically, let $P$ and $Q$ be two polygonal chains with…
