The parametric degree of a rational surface is the degree of the polynomials in the smallest possible proper parametrization. An example shows that the parametric degree is not a geometric but an arithmetic concept, in the sense that it…
Implicit curve and surface reconstruction attracts the attention of many researchers and gains a wide range of applications, due to its ability to describe objects with complicated geometry and topology. However, extra zero-level sets or…
Entropic regularization is a method for large-scale linear programming. Geometrically, one traces intersections of the feasible polytope with scaled toric varieties, starting at the Birch point. We compare this to log-barrier methods, with…
This note presents a formula for the enumerative invariants of arbitrary genus in toric surfaces. The formula computes the number of curves of a given genus through a collection of generic points in the surface. The answer is given in terms…
We produce implicit equations for general biquadratic (order 2x2) B\'ezier triangle and quadrilateral surface patches and provide function evaluation code, using modern computing resources to exploit old algebraic construction techniques.
First we solve the problem of finding minimal degree families on toric surfaces by reducing it to lattice geometry. Then we describe how to find minimal degree families on, more generally, rational complex projective surfaces.
We present an effective method for visualizing flat surfaces using ray marching. Our approach provides an intuitive way to explore translation surfaces, mirror rooms, unfolded polyhedra, and translation prisms while maintaining…
In this paper, we develop a new and efficient approach to the computation of envelope surfaces. We interpret one-parameter systems of surfaces as curves in the homogeneous spaces of suitable Lie groups. Using the formalism of Lie groups and…

We study the classical problem of computing geometric thickness, i.e., finding a straight-line drawing of an input graph and a partition of its edges into as few parts as possible so that each part is crossing-free. Since the problem is…
Recent advances in implicit neural representations show great promise when it comes to generating numerical solutions to partial differential equations. Compared to conventional alternatives, such representations employ parameterized neural…
Optical surfaces represented by second-degree polynomials (quadratic or conics) are ubiquitous in optics. We revisit the equations of the conic shapes in the context of grazing incidence optics, gathering together the curves commonly used…
Implicit variables of an optimization problem are used to model variationally challenging feasibility conditions in a tractable way while not entering the objective function. Hence, it is a standard approach to treat implicit variables as…
In this paper, we present an algorithm for reparametrizing birational surface parametrizations into birational polynomial surface parametrizations without base points, if they exist. For this purpose, we impose a transversality condition to…
The goal of multi-objective optimisation is to identify the Pareto front surface which is the set obtained by connecting the best trade-off points. Typically this surface is computed by evaluating the objectives at different points and then…
In a previous paper, we provided some update in the treatment of the finiteness theorem for rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type. In the present paper we present another improvement, introducing…
We study degree two unirational parameterizations of geometrically rational surfaces over the real field.
This note derives parametrizations for surfaces of revolution that satisfy an affine-linear relation between their respective curvature radii. Alongside, parametrizations for the uniform normal offsets of those surfaces are obtained. Those…
We construct a smooth complex projective rational surface with infinitely many mutually non-isomorphic real forms. This gives the first definite answer to a long standing open question if a smooth complex projective rational surface has…
We prove analogues of several well-known results concerning rational morphisms between quadrics for the class of so-called quasilinear $p$-hypersurfaces. These hypersurfaces are nowhere smooth over the base field, so many of the geometric…
