We study the algebraic boundary of a convex semi-algebraic set via duality in convex and algebraic geometry. We generalize the correspondence of facets of a polytope to the vertices of the dual polytope to general semi-algebraic convex…

A notion of "radially monotone" cut paths is introduced as an effective choice for finding a non-overlapping edge-unfolding of a convex polyhedron. These paths have the property that the two sides of the cut avoid overlap locally as the cut…

We develop an algorithmic theory of convex optimization over discrete sets. Using a combination of algebraic and geometric tools we are able to provide polynomial time algorithms for solving broad classes of convex combinatorial…

We study convexity of image of a general multidimensional quadratic map. We split the full image into two parts by an appropriate hyperplane such that one part is compact, and formulate a sufficient condition for convexity of the compact…

It is essential for a robot to be able to detect revisits or loop closures for long-term visual navigation.A key insight explored in this work is that the loop-closing event inherently occurs sparsely, that is, the image currently being…

Determining if a point is in a polygon or not is used by a lot of applications in computer graphics, computer games and geoinformatics. Implementing this check is error-prone since there are many special cases to be considered. This holds…

We derive explicit a priori consistency error estimates for a standard finite element discretization of the Poisson equation on convex domains, where the domain is approximated by an internal convex polyhedron. The obtained explicit…

Jigsaw puzzle solving requires the rearrangement of unordered pieces into their original pose in order to reconstruct a coherent whole, often an image, and is known to be an intractable problem. While the possible impact of automatic puzzle…

Convexity prior is one of the main cue for human vision and shape completion with important applications in image processing, computer vision. This paper focuses on characterization methods for convex objects and applications in image…

A connected matching in a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint edges whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph of G. While finding a connected matching of maximum cardinality is a well-solved problem, it is NP-hard to…

We present a framework to obtain valid inequalities for a reverse convex set: the set of points in a polyhedron that lie outside a given open convex set. Reverse convex sets arise in many models, including bilevel optimization and…

A set in the Euclidean plane is said to be biconvex if, for some angle $\theta\in[0,\pi/2)$, all its sections along straight lines with inclination angles $\theta$ and $\theta+\pi/2$ are convex sets (i.e, empty sets or segments).…

In this paper we describe a methodology for the identification of symmetric quadrature rules inside of quadrilaterals, triangles, tetrahedra, prisms, pyramids, and hexahedra. The methodology is free from manual intervention and is capable…

Characterizing the solution sets in a problem by closedness under operations is recognized as one of the key aspects of algorithm development, especially in constraint satisfaction. An example from the Boolean satisfiability problem is that…

We present an algorithm that enumerates and classifies all edge-to-edge gluings of unit squares that correspond to convex polyhedra. We show that the number of such gluings of $n$ squares is polynomial in $n$, and the algorithm runs in time…

In this article we utilise abstract convexity theory in order to unify and generalize many different concepts from nonsmooth analysis. We introduce the concepts of abstract codifferentiability, abstract quasidifferentiability and abstract…

Ghomi proved that every convex polyhedron could be stretched via an affine transformation so that it has an edge-unfolding to a net [Gho14]. A net is a simple planar polygon; in particular, it does not self-overlap. One can view his result…

A min-max formula is proved for the minimum of an integer-valued separable discrete convex function where the minimum is taken over the set of integral elements of a box total dual integral (box-TDI) polyhedron. One variant of the theorem…

The elliptic integral and its various generalizations are playing very important and basic role in different branches of modern mathematics. It is well known that they cannot be represented by the elementary transcendental functions.…

The geometric problem of estimating an unknown compact convex set from evaluations of its support function arises in a range of scientific and engineering applications. Traditional approaches typically rely on estimators that minimize the…
