The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...
The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...
We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Even if this abstraction is more general than other abstractions previously studied in the literature, known upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to hold her ...
Given an integral polyhedron P subset of R-n and a rational polyhedron Q subset of R-n containing the same integer points as P, we investigate how many iterations of the Chvatal-Gomory closure operator have to be performed on Q to obtain a polyhedron conta ...
The first example of a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold was constructed by F. Lobell in 1931 from eight copies of the right-angled 14-hedron. We consider the family of hyperbolic polyhedra which generalize the Lambert cube and the Lobell polyhedron. ...
Many studies have suggested that the motor system is organized in a hierarchical fashion, around the prototypical end location associated with using objects. However, most studies supporting the hierarchical view have used well-known actions and objects th ...
A framework is introduced for the study of general Radon shape diffusions, that is, shape diffusions induced by projections of randomly rotating shapes. This is done via a convenient representation of unoriented Radon shape diffusions in (unoriented) D.G. ...
We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Although this abstraction is simpler than other abstractions that were previously studied in the literature, the best upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to ...
Many recent works have shown that if a given signal admits a sufficiently sparse representation in a given dictionary, then this representation is recovered by several standard optimization algorithms, in particular the convex ℓ1 minimization approac ...
Suppose d > 2, n > d+1, and we have a set P of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Then P contains a subset Q of d points such that for any p ∈ P, the convex hull of Q∪{p} does not contain the origin in its interior.We also show that for non-emp ...
