Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as NURBS. Polygon models and subdivision metho ...
Which spaces look like an n-sphere through the eyes of the n-th Postnikov section functor and the n-connected cover functor? The answer is what we call the Postnikov genus of the n-sphere. We define in fact the notion of localization genus for any homotopi ...
In imitation learning, multivariate Gaussians are widely used to encode robot behaviors. Such approaches do not provide the ability to properly represent end-effector orientation, as the distance metric in the space of orientations is not Euclidean. In thi ...
Let F-q be a finite field of q elements, where q is a large odd prime power and Q = a(1)x(1)(c1) + ..... + a(d)x(d)(cd) is an element of F-q[x(1) ,...,x(d)], where 2
We analyze the critical connectivity of systems of penetrable d-dimensional spheres having size distributions in terms of weighed random geometrical graphs, in which vertex coordinates correspond to random positions of the sphere centers, and edges are for ...
We construct blow-up solutions of the energy critical wave map equation on R2+1→N with polynomial blow-up rate (t−1−ν for blow-up at t=0) in the case when N is a surface of revolution. Here we extend the blow-u ...
The present invention is directed to methods and apparatuses for beamforming signals or compute beamformed signals. The present approach is to determine a series of beams from or for a set of devices configured for receiving signals from and/or transmittin ...
We study time and space equivariant wave maps from M×R→S2, where M is dieomorphic to a two dimensional sphere and admits an action of SO(2) by isometries. We assume that metric on M can be written as $dr^2+f^2(r)d\theta ...
We revisit the concept of marginal stability in glasses and determine its range of applicability in the context of an avalanche-type response to slow external driving. We argue that there is an intimate connection between a pseudogap in the distribution of ...
The invention is notably directed to a method for determining positions {pi}i=1,..., N of transducers {Ai}i=1,..., N of an apparatus. The transducers are assumed to be configured for receiving wave signals from and/or transmitting wave signals to one or mo ...
