We define a dimension for a triangulated category. We prove a representabilityTheorem for a certain class of functors on finite dimensional triangulatedcategories. We study the dimension of the boundedderived category of an algebra or a…
The ability to generate novel, diverse, and realistic 3D shapes along with associated part semantics and structure is central to many applications requiring high-quality 3D assets or large volumes of realistic training data. A key challenge…
We consider the offset-deconstruction problem: Given a polygonal shape Q with n vertices, can it be expressed, up to a tolerance \eps in Hausdorff distance, as the Minkowski sum of another polygonal shape P with a disk of fixed radius? If…
When modeling scientific and industrial problems, geometries are typically modeled by explicit boundary representations obtained from computer-aided design software. Unfitted (also known as embedded or immersed) finite element methods offer…
This paper makes a first attempt to bring the Shape from Polarization (SfP) problem to the realm of deep learning. The previous state-of-the-art methods for SfP have been purely physics-based. We see value in these principled models, and…
In this paper, we focus on the task of 3D shape completion from partial point clouds using deep implicit functions. Existing methods seek to use voxelized basis functions or the ones from a certain family of functions (e.g., Gaussians),…
A new technique for proving fixed point theorems for families of holomorphic transformations of operator balls is developed. One of these theorems is used to show that a bounded representation in a real or complex Hilbert space is…
In this paper, we consider a set of similar triangles with parallel sides, along with a set of points in the plane. It turns out that the set $\mathbb{R}_2= \{\pm <x >=\pm (x^2,x,1); x\in\mathbb{R} \}$ describes this set of triangles quite…
In this paper, we solve a maximization problem where the objective function is quadratic and convex or concave and the constraints set is the reachable value set of a convergent discrete-time affine system. Moreover, we assume that the…
Orthogonal surfaces are nice mathematical objects which have interesting connections to various fields, e.g., integer programming, monomial ideals and order dimension. While orthogonal surfaces in one or two dimensions are rather trivial…
We show that the triangulations of a finite point set form a flip graph that can be embedded isometrically into a hypercube, if and only if the point set has no empty convex pentagon. Point sets of this type include convex subsets of…
This article deals with OLAP systems based on multidimensional model. The conceptual model we provide, represents data through a constellation (multi-facts) composed of several multi-hierarchy dimensions. In this model, data are displayed…
For any finite set $\A$ of $n$ points in $\R^2$, we define a $(3n-3)$-dimensional simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of ``non-crossing marked graphs'' with vertex set $\A$, where a marked graph is defined as a…
This paper introduces the geodesics of triangulated image object shapes. Both rectilinear and curvilinear triangulations of shapes are considered. The triangulation of image object shapes leads to collections of what are known as nerve…
We consider asynchronous networks of identical finite (independent of network's size or topology) automata. Our automata drive any network from any initial configuration of states, to a coherent one in which it can carry efficiently any…
Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is…
Given a real closed polytope $P$, we first describe the Fourier transform of its indicator function by using iterations of Stokes' theorem. We then use the ensuing Fourier transform formulations, together with the Poisson summation formula,…
We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P2, given a finite point set S={p1, p2,..., pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P2 always exists if at least six points in S are in general…
Real algebraic geometry is the study of semi-algebraic sets, subsets of $\R^k$ defined by Boolean combinations of polynomial equalities and inequalities. The focus of this thesis is to study quantitative results in real algebraic geometry,…
In this paper, we introduce the following problem in the theory of algorithmic self-assembly: given an input shape as the seed of a tile-based self-assembly system, design a finite tile set that can, in some sense, uniquely identify whether…
