Intersection

Résumé

In mathematics, the intersection of two or more objects is another object consisting of everything that is contained in all of the objects simultaneously. For example, in Euclidean geometry, when two lines in a plane are not parallel, their intersection is the point at which they meet. More generally, in set theory, the intersection of sets is defined to be the set of elements which belong to all of them. Unlike the Euclidean definition, this does not presume that the objects under consideration lie in a common space. Intersection is one of the basic concepts of geometry. An intersection can have various geometric shapes, but a point is the most common in a plane geometry. Incidence geometry defines an intersection (usually, of flats) as an object of lower dimension that is incident to each of original objects. In this approach an intersection can be sometimes undefined, such as for parallel lines. In both cases the concept of intersection relies on logical conjunction. Algebraic

A family of sets in the plane is simple if the intersection of any subfamily is arc-connected, and it is pierced by a line L if the intersection of any member with L is a nonempty segment. It is proved that the intersection graphs of simple families of compact arc-connected sets in the plane pierced by a common line have chromatic number bounded by a function of their clique number.

A long-standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any n simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same point, is at least (1 - o(1)) n(2). We confirm the above conjecture in several important cases, including the case (1) when all curves are convex, and (2) when the family of curves can be partitioned into two equal classes such that each curve from the first class touches every curve from the second class. (Two closed or open curves are said to be touching if they have precisely one point in common and at this point the two curves do not properly cross.) An important ingredient of our proofs is the following statement. Let S be a family of n open curves in R-2, so that each curve is the graph of a continuous real function defined on R, and no three of them pass through the same point. If there are nt pairs of touching curves in S, then the number of crossing points is Omega(nt root logt/log log t).

Method for processing a circular light field comprising the step of receiving or storing a circular light field matrix, wherein the circular light field matrix comprises pixel data for different circumferential angles and for different incidence angles, wherein each circumferential angle represents one intersection point of a light ray with a circle, and each incidence angle represents an angle of incidence of the light ray in the plane of the circle at the one intersection point; and the step of determining a sub set of pixel data of the circular light field matrix relating to a location by determining for each different circumferential angle an incidence angle related to said location.
