Shrink-Wrapping trajectories for Linear Programming

Hyperbolic Programming (HP) –minimizing a linear functional over an affine subspace of a finite-dimensional real vector space intersected with the so-called hyperbolicity cone– is a class of convex optimization problems that contains well-known Linear Programming (LP). In particular, for any LP one can readily provide a sequence of HP relaxations. Based on these hyperbolic relaxations, a new Sh...

Sacks Forcing and the Shrink Wrapping Property

We consider a property stronger than the Sacks property which holds between the ground model and the Sacks forcing extension. 1. The Shrink Wrapping Property Suppose that V is a Sacks forcing extension of a model M . Then the Sacks property holds between V and M . That is, for each x ∈ ω, there exists a tree T ⊆ ω in M such that x ∈ [T ] and each level of T is finite. The following is a stronge...

A Shrink Wrapping Approach to Remeshing Polygonal Surfaces

Due to their simplicity and flexibility, polygonal meshes are about to become the standard representation for surface geometry in computer graphics applications. Some algorithms in the context of multiresolution representation and modeling can be performed much more efficiently and robustly if the underlying surface tesselations have the special subdivision connectivity. In this paper, we propo...

Occupational asthma due to polyethylene shrink wrapping (paper wrapper's asthma).

Occupational asthma due to the pyrolysis products of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produced by shrink wrapping processes has previously been reported. The first case of occupational asthma in a shrink wrap worker using a different plastic, polyethylene, is reported; the association was confirmed by specific bronchial provocation testing.
