Representations

Representations is an interdisciplinary journal in the humanities published quarterly by the University of California Press. The journal was established in 1983 and is the founding publication of the New Historicism movement of the 1980s. It covers topics including literary, historical, and cultural studies. The founding editorial board was chaired by Stephen Greenblatt and Svetlana Alpers. Representations frequently publishes thematic special issues, for example, the 2007 issue on the legacies of American Orientalism, the 2006 issue on cross-cultural mimesis, and the 2005 issue on political and intellectual redress.

Geometrical reconstruction of curves and surfaces using NURBS

Sylvain Rouge

The aim of this project is the analysis of different approaches for curve and surface reconstruction and the development of a related MATLAB library. We initially study the Lagrange polynomial interpolation, then the Bezier, the B-splines and the NURBS curves and finally we introduce the NURBS surfaces. At each step we list the useful properties of the different approaches, the details of the mathematical representation and the evolution from simpler to more complicated representations.

The lexico-smallest representation of convex polyhedra

Stefano Picozzi

Every convex polyhedron in the Euclidean space

R^d

admits both H- and V-representation. For both formats, a representation is canonical if it is minimal and unique up to some elementary operations. In this paper, we extend the usual definition of canonical representation to a family of such representations that can be computed in polynomial time. In particular, this allows to define the lexico-smallest representation which computation is easy in practice. Furthermore, it guarantees certain sparsity property reflecting the real dimension of the studied object. As a consequence, H-representations of non-full dimensional polyhedra and V-representations of polyhedra without extreme points can be compared more efficiently.
