We consider generic curves in R2 , i.e. generic C1 functions f : S1 R2 . We analyze these curves through the persistent homology groups of a filtration induced on S1 by f. In parti...
Topological concepts and techniques have been broadly applied in computer graphics and geometric modeling. However, the homotopy type of a mapping between two surfaces has not bee...

We develop algorithms for computing the smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n ≤ d + 1...
Dimensional reduction is a simplification technique that eliminates one or more dimensions from a boundary value problem. It results in significant computational savings with mini...
