This paper presents a decomposition method for solving elliptic boundary value problems in one-dimension. The method is an improvement to an existing technique for approximating elliptic systems. It is demonstrated to be computationally…

The present paper deals with the generalization of Midpoint Ellipse Drawing Algorithm (MPEDA) to minimize the error in the existing MPEDA in cartesian form. In this method, we consider three different values of h, i.e., 1, 0.5 and 0.1. For…

In [Sau11,SPW13], Saunderson, Parrilo and Willsky asked the following elegant geometric question: what is the largest $m= m(d)$ such that there is an ellipsoid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that passes through $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_m$ with high…

This paper establishes the exact comparison complexity of finding an element repeated $n$ times in a $2n$-element array containing $n+1$ distinct values, under the equality-comparison model with $O(1)$ extra space. We present a simple…

The famous theorem of Fritz John states that any convex body has a unique maximal volume inscribed ellipsoid, known as the John Ellipsoid. Computing the John Ellipsoid is a fundamental problem in convex optimization. In this paper, we focus…

This manuscript provides a collection of new methods for the automated detection of non-overlapping ellipses from edge points. The methods introduce new developments in: (i) robust Monte Carlo-based ellipse fitting to 2-dimensional (2D)…

We give a variety of uniqueness results for minimal ellipsoids circumscribing and maximal ellipsoids inscribed into a convex body. Uniqueness follows from a convexity or concavity criterion on the function used to measure the size of the…

We present fast algorithms for sketching valuation functions. Let $N$ ($|N|=n$) be some ground set and $v:2^N\rightarrow \mathbb R$ be a function. We say that $\tilde v:2^N\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is an $\alpha$-sketch of $v$ if for every set…

We show that a closed piecewise-linear hypersurface immersed in $R^n$ ($n\ge 3$) is the boundary of a convex body if and only if every point in the interior of each $(n-3)$-face has a neighborhood that lies on the boundary of some convex…

This paper describes a 2-D graphics algorithm that uses shifts and adds to precisely plot a series of points on an ellipse of any shape and orientation. The algorithm can also plot an elliptic arc that starts and ends at arbitrary angles.…

In this paper, an outlier elimination algorithm for ellipse/ellipsoid fitting is proposed. This two-stage algorithm employs a proximity-based outlier detection algorithm (using the graph Laplacian), followed by a model-based outlier…

An algorithm for unconstrained non-convex optimization is described, which does not evaluate the objective function and in which minimization is carried out, at each iteration, within a randomly selected subspace. It is shown that this…

In this paper, we analyze the time complexity of finding regular polygons in a set of n points. We combine two different approaches to find regular polygons, depending on their number of edges. Our result depends on the parameter alpha,…

We study the problem of ellipsoidal bounding of convex set-valued data, where the convex set is obtained by the $p$-sum of finitely many ellipsoids, for any real $p\geq 1$. The notion of $p$-sum appears in the Brunn-Minkowski-Firey theory…

We give a novel algorithm for enumerating lattice points in any convex body, and give applications to several classic lattice problems, including the Shortest and Closest Vector Problems (SVP and CVP, respectively) and Integer Programming…

We give a deterministic O(log n)^n algorithm for the {\em Shortest Vector Problem (SVP)} of a lattice under {\em any} norm, improving on the previous best deterministic bound of n^O(n) for general norms and nearly matching the bound of…

We present an algorithm to compute the minimum orbital intersection distance (MOID), or global minimum of the distance between the points lying on two Keplerian ellipses. This is achieved by finding all stationary points of the distance…

The objective of ordinal embedding is to find a Euclidean representation of a set of abstract items, using only answers to triplet comparisons of the form "Is item $i$ closer to the item $j$ or item $k$?". In recent years, numerous…

We present a new methodology for the characterization of the metric entropy of infinite-dimensional ellipsoids with exponentially decaying semi-axes. This procedure does not rely on the explicit construction of coverings or packings and…

Estimating the volume of a convex body is a central problem in convex geometry and can be viewed as a continuous version of counting. We present a quantum algorithm that estimates the volume of an $n$-dimensional convex body within…
