In this paper, we consider the self-affinity of planar curves. It is regarded as an important property to characterize the log-aesthetic curves which have been studied as reference curves or guidelines for designing aesthetic shapes in CAD…

This paper aims to study the convergence of adaptive finite element method for control constrained elliptic optimal control problems under $L^2$-norm. We prove the contraction property and quasi-optimal complexity for the $L^2$-norm errors…

The property of preserving the convexity and concavity of the Bernstein polynomial and of the B\'{e}zier curves is used to generate a method of approximating the reliability polynomial of a hammock network. The mutual behaviour of the…

In celestial mechanics, proper orbits related to missions are obtained by solving two-point boundary value problems. Since a selection method of initial value affects the convergence of the solution, developing an effective method to find…

We propose a general framework for geometric approximation of circular arcs by parametric polynomial curves. The approach is based on constrained uniform approximation of an error function by scalar polynomials. The system of nonlinear…

A short historical account of the curves related to the two-dimensional floating bodies of equilibrium and the bicycle problem is given. Bor, Levi, Perline and Tabachnikov found, quite a number had already been described as Elastica by…

Low-Reynolds-number polymer solutions exhibit a chaotic behaviour known as 'elastic turbulence' when the Weissenberg number exceeds a critical value. The two-dimensional Oldroyd-B model is the simplest constitutive model that reproduces…

Random projections are random linear maps, sampled from appropriate distributions, that approx- imately preserve certain geometrical invariants so that the approximation improves as the dimension of the space grows. The well-known…

We present a method to compute a fitting curve B to a set of data points d0,...,dm lying on a manifold M. That curve is obtained by blending together Euclidean B\'ezier curves obtained on different tangent spaces. The method guarantees…

The problem of characterizing the structure of an elastic network constrained to lie on a frozen curved surface appears in many areas of science and has been addressed by many different approaches, most notably, extending linear elasticity…

In this paper we study a class of Riemannian metrics on the space of unparametrized curves and develop a method to compute geodesics with given boundary conditions. It extends previous works on this topic in several important ways. The…

Let $P$ be a polygon with $k$ vertices. Let $R$ and $B$ be two simple, interior disjoint curves on the boundary of $P$, with $n$ and $m$ vertices. We show how to compute the Fr\'echet distance between $R$ and $B$ using the geodesic…

We investigate theoretically the near-wall region in elastic turbulence of a dilute polymer solution in the limit of large Weissenberg number. As it was established experimentally, elastic turbulence possesses a boundary layer where the…

The affine space of all tensor product B\'ezier patches of degree nxn with prescribed main diagonal curves is determined. First, the pair of B\'ezier curves which can be diagonals of a B\'ezier patch is characterized. Besides prescribing…

The "defect" of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre bound for the curve. We present a construction for producing genus-4 double covers of genus-2 curves over…

We propose a new class of exact continuous relaxations of l0-regularized criteria involving non-quadratic data terms such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the logistic regression, possibly combined with an l2 regularization. We first…

This paper deals with a kind of design of a ruled surface. It combines concepts from the fields of computer aided geometric design and kinematics. A dual unit spherical B\'ezier-like curve on the dual unit sphere (DUS) is obtained with…

We develop a Bayesian approach called Bayesian projected calibration to address the problem of calibrating an imperfect computer model using observational data from a complex physical system. The calibration parameter and the physical…

Approximate Bayesian computation performs approximate inference for models where likelihood computations are expensive or impossible. Instead simulations from the model are performed for various parameter values and accepted if they are…

In this work we calculate the local elastic moduli in a weakly polydisperse 2DLennard-Jones glass undergoing a quasistatic shear deformation at zero temperature. The numerical method uses coarse grained microscopic expressions for the…
