Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…

We generalize principal bundles and quotient stacks to the two-categorical context of bisites. We introduce a notion of principal 2-bundle that makes sense for a 2-category with finite flexible limits, endowed with a bitopology. We then use…

We describe a procedure called panel collapse for replacing a CAT(0) cube complex $\Psi$ by a "lower complexity" CAT(0) cube complex $\Psi_\bullet$ whenever $\Psi$ contains a codimension-$2$ hyperplane that is extremal in one of the…

A method is presented that reduces the number of terms of systems of linear equations (algebraic, ordinary and partial differential equations). As a byproduct these systems have a tendency to become partially decoupled and are more likely…

We propose a primal-dual parallel proximal splitting method for solving domain decomposition problems for partial differential equations. The problem is formulated via minimization of energy functions on the subdomains with coupling…

Classical algebraic structures require exact satisfaction of their defining axioms. We propose similarity algebra, a framework extending algebraic and Lie structures to settings where operations satisfy quantitative bounds up to a tolerance…

The hypercube queueing model was initially developed to address spatial queueing problems and has found wide applications in emergency services, such as ambulance and police systems. While the model was originally designed for homogeneous…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

This paper proposes an algorithm that decides if two simply connected spaces represented by finite simplicial sets of finite $k$-type and finite dimension $d$ are homotopy equivalent. If the spaces are homotopy equivalent, the algorithm…

We study a natural model of random 2-dimensional cubical complex which is a subcomplex of an n-dimensional cube, and where every possible square $2$-face is included independently with probability p. Our main result is to exhibit a sharp…

Discretizations of infinite-dimensional variational inequalities lead to linear and nonlinear complementarity problems with many degrees of freedom. To solve these problems in a parallel computing environment, we propose two active-set…

We consider hyperplane arrangements generated by generic points and study their intersection lattices. These arrangements are known to be equivalent to discriminantal arrangements. We show a fundamental structure of the intersection…

As appropriate generalizations of convex combinations with uncountably many terms, we introduce the so-called Choquet combinations, Choquet decompositions and Choquet convex decompositions, as well as their corresponding hull operators…

Model sets (or cut and project sets) provide a familiar and commonly used method of constructing and studying nonperiodic point sets. Here we extend this method to situations where the internal spaces are no longer Euclidean, but instead…

Given two tuples of subspaces, can you tell whether the tuples are isomorphic? We develop theory and algorithms to address this fundamental question. We focus on isomorphisms in which the ambient vector space is acted on by either a unitary…

The 2-sets convex feasibility problem aims at finding a point in the intersection of two closed convex sets $A$ and $B$ in a normed space $X$. More generally, we can consider the problem of finding (if possible) two points in $A$ and $B$,…

Priority queues with parallel access are an attractive data structure for applications like prioritized online scheduling, discrete event simulation, or branch-and-bound. However, a classical priority queue constitutes a severe bottleneck…

A decomposition space (also called 2-Segal space) is a simplicial object satisfying an exactness condition weaker than the Segal condition: just as the Segal condition expresses composition, the new condition expresses decomposition. It is…

Internal preneighbourhood spaces inside any finitely complete category with finite coproducts and proper factorisation structure were first introduced in my earlier paper. This paper proposes a closure operation on internal preneighbourhood…

We give a simple geometric explanation for the similarity transformation mapping one-dimensional conformal mechanics to free-particle system. Namely, we show that this transformation corresponds to the inversion of the Klein model of…
