Towards Flexible Polyhedral Nets Pirahmad Olimjoni, Ph.D. Student, Applied Mathematics and Computational Science Nov 10, 14:30 - 15:30 B4 L5 R5209 Isotropic Geometry discrete differential geometry applied mathematics algorithms optimization This thesis research provides a comprehensive classification of flexible geometric nets of arbitrary size in both Euclidean and isotropic geometries, revealing that only two distinct classes exist in each setting and demonstrating their relationship to mechanical design.
Unlocking Euclidean Problems with Isotropic Initialization Mikhail Skopenkov, Research Scientist, Computer Science Oct 30, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 The seminar introduces a novel, general approach for solving challenging constraint systems in Euclidean geometry problems by leveraging analogous, structure-preserving simplifications found in isotropic geometry to initialize and guide optimization algorithms.
