This is a survey of metric properties of non-Euclidean conics, mainly based on works of Chasles and Story. A spherical conic is the intersection of the sphere with a quadratic cone; similarly, a hyperbolic conic is the intersection of the…

Both the ellipse and the hyperbola are geometric places that can be defined by establishing a relationship between points $P$ of the plane and two fixed points $A$ and $B$ (which are its foci $F'=A$ and $F=B$). Given two points $A$ and $B$…

We classify singular foliations admitting a given leaf and a given transverse singular foliation.

A sphere is a fundamental geometric object widely used in (computer aided) geometric design. It possesses rational parameterizations but no parametric polynomial parameterization exists. The present study provides an approach to the optimal…

Uniform probability distributions on $\ell_p$ balls and spheres have been studied extensively and are known to behave like product measures in high dimensions. In this note we consider the uniform distribution on the intersection of a…

We consider the following classification problem: Given a population of individuals characterized by a set of attributes represented as a vector in ${\mathbb R}^N$, the goal is to find a hyperplane in ${\mathbb R}^N$ that separates two sets…

One of the strategies to detect the pose and shape of unknown objects is their geometric modeling, consisting on fitting known geometric entities. Classical geometric modeling fits simple shapes such as spheres or cylinders, but often those…

Let S be a triangulated 2-sphere with fixed triangulation T. We apply the methods of thin position from knot theory to obtain a simple version of the three geodesics theorem for the 2-sphere [5]. In general these three geodesics may be…

This article gives the construction and complete classification of all three-dimensional spherical manifolds, and orders them by decreasing volume, in the context of multiconnected universe models with positive spatial curvature. It…

We consider polynomials of a few linear forms and show how exploit this type of sparsity for optimization on some particular domains like the Euclidean sphere or a polytope. Moreover, a simple procedure allows to detect this form of…

The bending energy of any freely deformable closed surface is quadratic in its curvature. In the absence of constraints, it will be minimized when the surface adopts the form of a round sphere. If the surface is confined within a…

In this paper we present a computer-assisted procedure for proving the existence of transverse heteroclinic orbits connecting hyperbolic equilibria of polynomial vector fields. The idea is to compute high-order Taylor approximations of…

In this note, we provide explicit expressions for the projections onto the graph of a quadratic polynomial. The projections are obtained by examining the critical points of the associated quartic polynomial, that is, the roots of the cubic…

For a fixed radius $r$ and a point $o$ in the curve complex of a surface, we define the sphere of radius $r$ to be the induced subgraph on the set of vertices of distance $r$ from $o$. We show that these spheres are almost simply connected…

We explore a novel method to generate and characterize complex networks by means of their embedding on hyperbolic surfaces. Evolution through local elementary moves allows the exploration of the ensemble of networks which share common…

A classification of 2-dimensional surfaces imbedded in spacetime is presented, according to the algebraic properties of their shape tensor. The classification has five levels, and provides among other things a refinement of the concepts of…

Affine transformations in Euclidean space generates a correspondence between integrable systems on cotangent bundles to the sphere, ellipsoid and hyperboloid embedded in $R^n$. Using this correspondence and the suitable coupling constant…

We present explicit constructions of orthogonal polynomials inside quadratic bodies of revolution, including cones, hyperboloids, and paraboloids. We also construct orthogonal polynomials on the surface of quadratic surfaces of revolution,…

An isometry is a geometric transformation that preserves distances between pairs of points. We present methods to classify isometries in the Euclidean plane, and extend these methods to spherical, single elliptical, and hyperbolic geometry.…

In discrete geometry, the contact number of a given finite number of non-overlapping spheres was introduced as a generalization of Newton's kissing number. This notion has not only led to interesting mathematics, but has also found…
