The goal of this thesis is twofold; introduce the fundamentals of Bayesian inference and computation focusing on astronomical and cosmological applications, and present recent advances in probabilistic computational methods developed by the…
We shortly describe the algorithms behind some of the functions provided by the Macaulay2 package MultiprojectiveVarieties, a package for multi-projective varieties and rational maps between them.
We recently presented the so-called allagmatic method, which includes a system metamodel providing a framework for describing, modelling, simulating, and interpreting complex systems. Its development and programming was guided by…
Using geometrical approach exposed in arXiv:math/0304245 and arXiv:nlin/0511012, we explore the Camassa-Holm equation (both in its initial scalar form, and in the form of 2x2-system). We describe Hamiltonian and symplectic structures,…
What is the best representation for doing euclidean geometry on computers? These notes from a SIGGRAPH 2019 short course entitled "Geometric algebra for computer graphics" introduce projective geometric algebra (PGA) as a modern framework…
We employ techniques of machine-learning, exemplified by support vector machines and neural classifiers, to initiate the study of whether AI can "learn" algebraic structures. Using finite groups and finite rings as a concrete playground, we…
I developed the lecture notes based on my ``Linear Model'' course at the University of California, Berkeley over the past ten years. This book provides an intermediate-level introduction to the linear model. It balances rigorous proofs and…
The aim of this paper is to discuss some applications of general topology in computer algorithms including modeling and simulation, and also in computer graphics and image processing. While the progress in these areas heavily depends on…
Cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) is an important tool for the investigation of semi-algebraic sets. Originally introduced by Collins in the 1970s for use in quantifier elimination it has since found numerous applications within…
Gaussian graphical models are used throughout the natural sciences, social sciences, and economics to model the statistical relationships between variables of interest in the form of a graph. We here provide a pedagogic introduction to…
Our main purpose is to give multiple examples for using the available implementations for computing the normalization of an affine ring, computing the minimial generators of the normalization as an algebra over the original ring and…
The signature of a path is a non-commutative power series whose coefficients are given by certain iterated integrals over the path coordinates. This series almost uniquely characterizes the path up to translation and reparameterization.…
Studying the geometry of sets appearing in various problems of quantum information helps in understanding different parts of the theory. It is thus worthwhile to approach quantum mechanics from the angle of geometry -- this has already…
