The use of realistic input models has gained popularity in the theory community. Assuming a realistic input model often precludes complicated hypothetical inputs, and the analysis yields bounds that better reflect the behaviour of…

Considering the Teichm\"uller space of a surface equipped with Thurston's Lipschitz metric, we study geodesic segments whose endpoints have bounded combinatorics. We show that these geodesics are cobounded, and that the closest-point…

This paper studies the problem of computing quasi-upward planar drawings of bimodal plane digraphs with minimum curve complexity, i.e., drawings such that the maximum number of bends per edge is minimized. We prove that every bimodal plane…

Using dimensionally reduced models for the numerical simulation of thin objects is highly attractive as this reduces the computational work substantially. The case of narrow thin elastic bands is considered and a convergent finite element…

In this paper we deal with the task of uniformly approximating an $L$-biLipschitz curve by means of piecewise linear ones. This is rather simple if one is satisfied to have approximating functions which are $L'$-biLipschitz, for instance…

We investigate the quasi-static growth of elastic fibers in the presence of dry or viscous friction. An unusual form of destabilization beyond a critical length is described. In order to characterize this phenomenon, a new definition of…

It is known that B\'{e}zier curves and surfaces may have multiple representations by different control polygons. The polygons may have different number of control points and may even be disjoint. Up to our knowledge, Pekerman et al. (2005)…

We present a new approach to the problem of $G^{k,l}$-constrained ($k,l \leq 3$) multi-degree reduction of B\'{e}zier curves with respect to the least squares norm. First, to minimize the least squares error, we consider two methods of…

We provide a simple method and relevant theoretical analysis for efficiently estimating higher-order lp distances. While the analysis mainly focuses on l4, our methodology extends naturally to p = 6,8,10..., (i.e., when p is even).…

Inspired by shape constrained estimation under general nonnegative derivative constraints, this paper considers the B-spline approximation of constrained functions and studies the asymptotic performance of the constrained B-spline…

The method for approximation of planar curve by circular arcs with length preservation, proposed by I.Kh. Sabitov and A.V. Slovesnov, is analyzed. We extend the applicability of the method, and consider some corollaries, not related to the…

The classical isoperimetric inequality in the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ states that for a simple closed curve $M$ of the length $L_{M}$, enclosing a region of the area $A_{M}$, one gets \begin{align*} L_{M}^2\geqslant 4\pi A_{M}.…

We design efficient distance approximation algorithms for several classes of structured high-dimensional distributions. Specifically, we show algorithms for the following problems: - Given sample access to two Bayesian networks $P_1$ and…

We find a complete characterization for sets of isotropic conductivities with stable recovery in the $L^2$ norm when the data of the Calder\'on Inverse Conductivity Problem is obtained in the boundary of a disk and the conductivities are…

We consider the problem of approximating a two-dimensional shape contour (or curve segment) using discrete assembly systems, which allow to build geometric structures based on limited sets of node and edge types subject to edge length and…

Measuring the similarity of curves is a fundamental problem arising in many application fields. There has been considerable interest in several such measures, both in Euclidean space and in more general setting such as curves on Riemannian…

We perform a variational analysis of an elastic membrane spanning a closed curve which may sustain bending and torsion. First, we deal with parametrized curves and linear elastic membranes proving the existence of equilibria and finding…

Inverse design of morphing slender structures with programmable curvature has significant applications in various engineering fields. Most existing studies formulate it as an optimization problem, which requires repeatedly solving the…

Precision contouring control is crucial in industrial machining processes, particularly for applications such as laser and water jet cutting, where contouring accuracy directly determines product quality. This paper presents a novel control…
