چکیده

Given a nite set of non-collinear points in the plane there exists a line that passes through exactly two points. Such a line is called an ordinary line. An e cient algorithm for computing such a line was proposed by Mukhopadhyay et al [MAH97]. In this note we extend this result in two directions. We rst show how to use this algorithm to compute an ordinary conic, that is, a conic passing through exactly ve points, assuming that all the points do not lie on the same conic. Our proof of existence and the consequent algorithm is simpler than previous ones. We also show how to compute an ordinary hyperplane in three and higher dimensions. Key-words: computational geometry. Asish Mukhopadhyay is from Indian Institute of Technology,Kanpur 208016, India. His work was done in part while he was visiting INRIA. Recherche d'une conique ordinaire et d'un hyperplan ordinaire Résumé : Étant donné un ensemble de points non alignés dans le plan, il existe une droite passant par exactement deux de ces points. Une telle droite est appelée droite ordinaire. Une méthode e cace de détermination d'une telle droite a été proposée par Mukhopadhyay et al. Nous étendons ce travail dans deux directions. Nous utilisons cet algorithme pour déterminer une conique ordinaire, c'est-à-dire une conique passant par exactement cinq points, si les points ne sont pas tous sur une même conique. Notre preuve d'existence et notre algorithme sont sensiblement plus simple que les travaux précédents. Nous montrons également comment déterminer une hyperplan ordinaire en trois dimensions et plus. Mots-clés : géométrie algorithmique. Finding ordinary conic or hyperplane 3

Reduction of Differential Equations by Lie Algebra of Symmetries

The paper is devoted to an application of Lie group theory to differential equations. The basic infinitesimal method for calculating symmetry group is presented, and used to determine general symmetry group of some differential equations. We include a number of important applications including integration of ordinary differential equations and finding some solutions of partial differential equa...

Thomas hyperplane sections for primitive Hodge classes

R. Thomas proved that the Hodge conjecture is essentially equivalent to the existence of a Thomas hyperplane section having only ordinary double points as singularities and such that the restriction of a given primitive Hodge class to it does not vanish. We show that the relations between the vanishing cycles associated to the ordinary double points of a Thomas hyperplane section have the same ...

Lut 009, an H4 (S2, W4) ordinary chondrite meteorite from Lut Desert of Iran

Lut 009 meteorite was found during a trip to Lut Desert of Iran in March,2012, at 30°20.38' N, 59°09.04' E. Chemical compositions of equilibrated olivine (Fa19.3 ± 0.5) and orthopyroxene (Fs16.7 ± 0.6) show that the meteorite sample belongs to H group of ordinary chondrites, while the texture (chondrule petrography and plagioclase size) suggests a petrologic type of 4. The Lut 009 has been very...

Toric partial orders

We define toric partial orders, corresponding to regions of graphic toric hyperplane arrangements, just as ordinary partial orders correspond to regions of graphic hyperplane arrangements. Combinatorially, toric posets correspond to finite posets under the equivalence relation generated by converting minimal elements into maximal elements, or sources into sinks. We derive toric analogues for se...

Hyperplane Priors

The requirement of transformation invariance of a probability distribution is employed to derive prior probabilities for the coefficients of the equation describing a hyperplane. In two dimensions, this is a straight line, in three dimensions an ordinary plane etc. We treat the general case of n dimensions and propose a procedure to normalize the resulting distributions in order to make them pr...
