This paper expands the role of the new field of computational topology by surveying methods for incorporating connectedness in shape modeling. Two geometric representations in par...
Let S be an ordered set of disjoint unit spheres in R3 . We show that if every subset of at most six spheres from S admits a line transversal respecting the ordering, then the ent...

This paper studies shapes (curves and surfaces) which can be described by (piecewise) polynomial support functions. The class of these shapes is closed under convolutions, offsett...
Positive real rational functions play a central role in both deterministic and stochastic linear systems theory, as well as in circuit synthesis, spectral analysis, and speech proc...
