Problem 1. As mentioned in class, the convex hull is a somewhat non-robust shape descriptor, since if there are any distant outlying points, they will tend to dominate the shape of the hull. A more robust method is based on the following iterative approach. Given a planar point set P in general position (see Fig. 1(a)), let H1 be the convex hull of P . Remove the vertices of H1 from P and compu...

BACHELOR THESIS Spring 2012

As consumers are getting better at avoiding the traditional marketing campaigns companies are using, it has become crucial for companies to differentiate their marketing. One way of doing this is to use guerrilla marketing, a marketing type more extreme, innovative and attention capturing than traditional marketing. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the use of guerrilla marketing aff...

LTCC course on Potential Theory , Spring 2012

The four lectures follow closely a textbook on Potential Theory in the Complex Plane by T. Ransford, apart from material on harmonic measure which has been borrowed from a lecture course Introduction to Potential Theory with Applications, by C. Kuehn. The material in lecture 5 is borrowed from a survey Logarithmic Potential Theory with Applications to Approximation Theory by E. B. Saff (E-print...

GEOMETRIES AND MODELS - an Introduction Spring 2012

These lecture notes give a short introduction to ideas shared by classical theory of geometries and modern model theory. This course is not on stability theory and thus all the non-trivial results from stability theory are replaced by stronger assumptions, except three: Shelah’s finite equivalence relation theorem, one consequence of splitting and the fact that ∞ -definable groups in models of ...
