The purpose of this work is to analyse and study an efficient parametrization technique for a 3D shape optimization problem. After a brief review of the techniques and approaches already available in literature, we recall the Free Form Deformation parametr ...
cells is achieved with randomly textured superstrates (TCO and/or glass). Due to a continuous and broad variation of occurring structure sizes in such textures, their optical simulation is challenging. In this paper we introduce an approach to establish a ...
In this paper we present a survey of various algorithms for computing matrix geometric means and derive new second-order optimization algorithms to compute the Karcher mean. These new algorithms are constructed using the standard definition of the Riemanni ...
We prove the following version of Poincaré, duality for reduced L (q,p) -cohomology: For any 1 < q, p < a, the Lqp -cohomology of a Riemannian manifold is in duality with the interior Lp'q'-cohomology for 1/p + 1/p' = 1/q + 1/q' = 1. ...
A critical aspect in the design of tubular bridges is the fatigue performance of the structural joints. The estimation of a fatigue crack life using the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory involves the calculation of stress intensity factors (S ...
Instances of control systems are presented for which dynamical feedback linearizability can be assessed from differential forms of highest relative degree after some “contact” transformation has been applied. This bypasses the need to find a polynomial dif ...
Wave maps are the simplest wave equations taking their values in a Riemannian manifold (M,g). Their Lagrangian is the same as for the scalar equation, the only difference being that lengths are measured with respect to the metric g. By Noether's theorem, s ...
We study the geometry of the scalar manifolds emerging in the no-scale sector of Kahler moduli and matter fields in generic Calabi-Yau string compactifications, and describe its implications on scalar masses. We consider both heterotic and orientifold mode ...
We propose a method to compute scale invariant features in omnidirectional images. We present a formulation based on Riemannian geometry for the definition of differential operators on non-Euclidian manifolds that describe the mirror and lens structure in ...

In this paper, we propose a representation and coding method for multiview images. As an alternative to depth-based schemes, we propose a representation that captures the geometry and the dependencies between pixels in different views in the form of connec ...
