However, the upper bound proof of relies heavily on basic geometric properties of constant-dimensional Euclidean spaces, and does not extend to Euclidean spaces of super-constant dimension. A natural question that arises is whether this surprising upper bound of can be generalized for wider families of metric spaces, such as high-dimensional Euclidean spaces. N-point metric space M, the weight of the MST of every connected SDG for M is O(logn) Specifically, we demonstrate that for any Furthermore, our upper bound extends to arbitrary metric spaces and, in particular, it applies to any of the normed spaces ℓp In this paper we generalize the upper bound of Abu-Affash et al. Thermodynamics is easier to understand if it is put in a geometric context. Arnold (1990) has stated, “Every mathematician knows that it is impossible to understand any elementary course in thermodynamics.

The reason is that the thermodynamics is based – as Gibbs has explicitly proclaimed – on a rather complicted mathematical theory, on the contact geometry”. Homogeneous thermodynamics is geometrically represented in a contact manifold by a codimension one submanifold which is locally the graph of the generalized energy function, ϕ but an extended contact structure applies to non-equlibrium thermodynamics as well. The graph of the generalized function contains the thermostatic system as a Legendre submanifold. Equilibrium or non-equilibrium processes are paths on the corresponding portions of the graph. The relationship of the graph of the thermodynamic energy function and the graph of the thermostatic energy function is defined by a cross-section of a vector bundle. An alternative definition of the thermostatic manifold is obtained as a Lagrange submanifold defined by the symplectic two-form associated to the Gibbs contact one-form. We present a novel technique for surface modelling by example called surfacing by numbers. Our system allows easy detail reuse from existing 3D models or images. The user selects a source re- gion and a target region, and the system transfers detail from the source to the target. The source may be elsewhere on the target sur- face, on another surface altogether, or even part of an image.

transfer is formulated as synthesis with a novel surface-based adap- tation of graph cuts, the source and target regions need not match in size or shape, and details can be geometric, textural or even user- defined in nature. A major contribution of our work is our fast, graph cut-based in- teractive surface segmentation algorithm. Unlike approaches based on scissoring, the user loosely strokes within the body of each de- sired region, and the system computes optimal boundaries between regions via minimum-cost graph cut.

Thus, less precision is re- quired, the amount of interaction is unrelated to the complexity of the boundary, and users do not need to search for a view of the model in which a cut can be made. Read moreĬonstraints have been playing an important role in the user interface field since its infancy. A prime use of constraints in this field is to automatically maintain geometric layouts of graphical objects. In complexity theory, we often distinguish between feasible problems (i.e.To facilitate the construction of constraint-based user interface applications, researchers have proposed various constraint satisfaction methods and constraint solvers. The complexity of graph isomorphism remains a significant open problem. But we don't yet have easily checked isomorphism invariants that are sufficient. We can often show that two graphs are non-isomorphic by noticing a structural difference between them, and then showing that that difference is an isomorphism invariant. You won't be surprised to know that while the number of triangles in a graph is an isomorphism invariant, it is not a sufficient condition for the existence of an isomorphism. Some brief reflections on graph isomorphism Once we've verified that $F$ is bipartite, we know by Theorem 26.7 that $F$ contains no cycles of odd length, and in particular, no triangles. \newcommand \choose 3$ simple facts about $G$.
