Constructing A-spline weight functions for stable WEB-spline finite element methods
Whereas traditional finite element methods use meshes to define domain geometry, weighted extended B-spline finite element methods rely on a weight function. A weight function is ...

Fast and robust retrieval of Minkowski sums of rotating convex polyhedra in 3-space
We present a novel method for fast retrieval of exact Minkowski sums of pairs of convex polytopes in R3 , where one of the polytopes keeps rotating. The algorithm is based on pre-...

Topologically guaranteed univariate solutions of underconstrained polynomial systems via no-loop and single-component tests
We present an algorithm which robustly computes the intersection curve(s) of an under-constrained piecewise polynomial system consisting of n equations with n + 1 unknowns. The so...
