We consider the complexity of the recognition problem for two families of combinatorial structures. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be an intersection graph of lines in space if every $v\in V$ can be mapped to a straight line $\ell (v)$ in…
It is proposed the algorithm that find a basis of the ideal and a basis of the space of all root functionals by using the extension operation for bounded root functionals, when the number of polynomials is equal to the number of variables,…
In Computer Vision, edge detection is one of the favored approaches for feature and object detection in images since it provides information about their objects boundaries. Other region-based approaches use probabilistic analysis such as…
Sum-of-squares (SOS) optimization provides a computationally tractable framework for certifying polynomial nonnegativity. If the considered problem is convex, the SOS problem can be transcribed into and solved by semi-definite programs.…
In this work, we solve the problem of finding non-intersecting paths between points on a plane with a new approach by borrowing ideas from geometric topology, in particular, from the study of polygonal schema in mathematics. We use a…
A sum-of-squares is a polynomial that can be expressed as a sum of squares of other polynomials. Determining if a sum-of-squares decomposition exists for a given polynomial is equivalent to a linear matrix inequality feasibility problem.…
We present some algorithms that provide useful topological information about curves in surfaces. One of the main algorithms computes the geometric intersection number of two properly embedded 1-manifolds $C_1$ and $C_2$ in a compact…
The Newton polygon of the implicit equation of a rational plane curve is explicitly determined by the multiplicities of any of its parametrizations. We give an intersection-theoretical proof of this fact based on a refinement of the…
Symmetries occur naturally in CSP or SAT problems and are not very difficult to discover, but using them to prune the search space tends to be very challenging. Indeed, this usually requires finding specific elements in a group of…
We introduce a method for efficiently computing the exact shortest path to the boundary of a mesh from a given internal point in the presence of self-intersections. We provide a formal definition of shortest boundary paths for…
We describe an algorithm based on a logarithmic barrier function, Newton's method, and linear conjugate gradients that obtains an approximate minimizer of a smooth function over the nonnegative orthant. We develop a bound on the complexity…
Polygons are cycles embedded into the plane; their vertices are associated with $x$- and $y$-coordinates and the edges are straight lines. Here, we consider a set of polygons with pairwise non-overlapping interior that may touch along their…
We introduce the warping crossing polynomial of an oriented knot diagram by using the warping degrees of crossing points of the diagram. Given a closed transversely intersected plane curve, we consider oriented knot diagrams obtained from…
Boolean operations of geometric models is an essential issue in computational geometry. In this paper, we develop a simple and robust approach to perform Boolean operations on closed and open triangulated surfaces. Our method mainly has two…
We derive and analyse a new iterative algorithm for detecting network core--periphery structure. Using techniques in nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory, we prove global convergence to the unique solution of a relaxed version of a natural…
In this paper we study the intersection theory on surfaces with abelian quotient singularities and we derive properties of quotients of weighted projective planes. We also use this theory to study weighted blow-ups in order to construct…
Modeling folding surfaces with nonzero thickness is of practical interest for mechanical engineering. There are many existing approaches that account for material thickness in folding applications. We propose a new systematic and broadly…
We study algorithmic matroid intersection coloring. Given $k$ matroids on a common ground set $U$ of $n$ elements, the goal is to partition $U$ into the fewest number of color classes, where each color class is independent in all matroids.…
In this paper, we propose a framework based on sum-of-squares programming to design iterative first-order optimization algorithms for smooth and strongly convex problems. Our starting point is to develop a polynomial matrix inequality as a…
$\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\left\lfloor {#1} \right\rfloor} \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$ Tverberg's theorem states that a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ can be partitioned into $\floor{n/(d+1)}$ sets with a common intersection. A point in…
