چکیده

The preservation of ambient isotopic equivalence under piecewise linear (PL) approximation for smooth knots are prominent in molecular modeling and simulation. Sufficient conditions are given regarding: (1) Hausdorff distance, and (2) a sum of total curvature and derivative. High degree Bézier curves are often used as smooth representations, where computational efficiency is a practical concern. Subdivision can produce PL approximations for a given Bézier curve, fulfilling the above two conditions. The primary contributions are: (i) a priori bounds on the number of subdivision iterations sufficient to achieve a PL approximation that is ambient isotopic to the original Bézier curve, and (ii) improved iteration bounds over those previously established.

Approximation theorems for fuzzy set multifunctions in Vietoris topology. Physical implications of regularity

n this paper, we consider continuity properties(especially, regularity, also viewed as an approximation property) for $%mathcal{P}_{0}(X)$-valued set multifunctions ($X$ being a linear,topological space), in order to obtain Egoroff and Lusin type theorems forset multifunctions in the Vietoris hypertopology. Some mathematicalapplications are established and several physical implications of thema...

Analysis of High-order Approximations by Spectral Interpolation Applied to One- and Two-dimensional Finite Element Method

The implementation of high-order (spectral) approximations associated with FEM is an approach to overcome the difficulties encountered in the numerical analysis of complex problems. This paper proposes the use of the spectral finite element method, originally developed for computational fluid dynamics problems, to achieve improved solutions for these types of problems. Here, the interpolation n...

A note on approximation conditions, standard triangularizability and a power set topology

The main result of this article is that for collections of entry-wise non-negative matrices the property of possessing a standard triangularization is stable under approximation. The methodology introduced to prove this result allows us to offer quick proofs of the corresponding results of [B. R. Yahaghi, Near triangularizability implies triangularizability, Canad. Math. Bull. 47, (2004), no. 2...

Computational Topology for Geometric and Molecular Approximations

The goal of this research will be to provide sufficient conditions and tractable algorithms that guarantee the topological embedding of geometric approximations commonly used by modern geometric design systems. Particular focus is on the use of ambient isotopy as the measure of topological equivalence, which is stricter than the more traditional use of homeomorphism. Such topological guarantees...

Asymptotic Approximations of the Solution for a Traveling String under Boundary Damping

Transversal vibrations of an axially moving string under boundary damping are investigated. Mathematically, it represents a homogenous linear partial differential equation subject to nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The string is moving with a relatively (low) constant speed, which is considered to be positive.  The string is kept fixed at the first end, while the other end is tied with the ...
