Approximation of Pattern Transformation Manifolds with Parametric Dictionaries

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural

The construction of low-dimensional models explaining high-dimensional signal observations provides concise and efficient data representations. In this paper, we focus on pattern transformation manifold models generated by in-plane geometric transformation ...

Convolution on the n-Sphere With Application to PDF Modeling

Ivan Dokmanic

In this paper, we derive an explicit form of the convolution theorem for functions on an n-sphere. Our motivation comes from the design of a probability density estimator for n-dimensional random vectors. We propose a probability density function (pdf) est ...

Sur la méthode de Buser-Silhol pour l'uniformisation des surfaces de Riemann hyperelliptiques

Grégoire Aubry

The Uniformization Theorem due to Koebe and Poincaré implies that every compact Riemann surface of genus greater or equal to 2 can be endowed with a metric of constant curvature – 1. On the other hand, a compact Riemann surface is a complex algebraic curve ...

Ideal knots and other packing problems of tubes

Henryk Gerlach

This thesis concerns optimal packing problems of tubes, or thick curves, where thickness is defined as follows. Three points on a closed space curve define a circle. Taking the infimum over all radii of pairwise-distinct point triples defines the thickness ...

Computation and visualization of ideal knot shapes

Mathias Carlen

We investigate numerical simulations and visualizations of the problem of tying a knot in a piece of rope. The goal is to use the least possible rope of a fixed, prescribed radius to tie a particular knot, e.g. a trefoil, a figure eight, and so on. The rop ...

Wavelet transform on manifolds: old and new approaches

Pierre Vandergheynst

Given a two-dimensional smooth manifold M and a bijective pro jection p from M on a ﬁxed plane (or a subset of that plane), we explore systematically how a wavelet transform (WT) on M may be generated from a plane WT by the inverse projection. Examples whe ...

Dominating Sets in Triangulations on Surfaces

A dominating set D of a graph G is a set such that each vertex v of G is either in the set or adjacent to a vertex in the set. Matheson and Tarjan (1996) proved that any n-vertex plane triangulation has a dominating set of size at most n/3, and conjectured ...

Efficient Approximate Scaling of Spherical Functions in the Fourier Domain With Generalization to Hyperspheres

Ivan Dokmanic

We propose a simple model for approximate scaling of spherical functions in the Fourier domain. The proposed scaling model is analogous to the scaling property of the classical Euclidean Fourier transform. Spherical scaling is used for example in spherical ...

Projective modules over the real algebraic sphere of dimension 3

Jean Fasel

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring of Krull dimension 3. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for A-projective modules of rank 2 to be free. Using this, we show that all the finitely generated projective modules over the algebraic real 3-sphere ...

Curvature Analysis of Pattern Transformation Manifolds

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural

Transformation manifolds are quite attractive for image analysis applications that require transformation invariance properties. The geometric structure of a transformation manifold has a profound influence on the design of processing algorithm, and the cu ...
