Study reveals CR structure of snake robot's geometry.

The snake charmer algorithm permits us to deform a piecewise smooth curve starting from the origin in R^d, so that its end follows a given path. When this path is a loop, a holonomy phenomenon occurs. We prove that the holonomy orbits are closed manifolds diffeomorphic to real Stiefel manifolds. A survey of the snake c…

The purpose of this paper is to give a simpler proof to the problem of controllability of a Hilbert snake \cite{PeSa}. Using the action of the Möbius group of the unit sphere on the configuration space, in the context of a separable Hilbert space. We give a generalization of the Theorem of accessibility contained in \c…

The vision systems of the eagle and the snake outperform everything that we can make in the laboratory, but snakes and eagles cannot build an eyeglass or a telescope or a microscope. (Judea Pearl)

A new snake model improves segmentation of SEM images.

Quantum trace map connects Teichmüller theory and quantum groups.

We present a new and very concrete connection between cluster algebras and knot theory. This connection is being made via continued fractions and snake graphs. It is known that the class of 2-bridge knots and links is parametrized by continued fractions, and it has recently been shown that one can associate to each con…

Link Floer homology is split into snake complexes and local systems.

We show that the Snake on a square $SC(S^1)$ is homotopy equivalent to the space $AC(S^1)$ which was investigated in the previous work by Eda, Karimov and Repov\vs. We also introduce related constructions $CSC(-)$ and $CAC(-)$ and investigate homotopical differences between these four constructions. Finally, we explici…

We construct a privileged system of coordinates with respect to the controlling distribution of a trident snake robot and, furthermore, we construct a nilpotent approximation with respect to the given filtration. Note that all constructions are local in the neighbourhood of a particular point. We compare the motions co…

A regularized optimization problem over a large unstructured graph is studied, where the regularization term is tied to the graph geometry. Typical regularization examples include the total variation and the Laplacian regularizations over the graph. When applying the proximal gradient algorithm to solve this problem, t…

The paper studies circular evolutes and involutes of framed curves in Euclidean space.

It was shown by Kaup that every origin-preserving automorphism of quasi-circular domains is a polynomial mapping. In this paper, we study how the weight of quasi-circular domains and the degree of such automorphisms are related. By using the Bergman mapping, we prove that every origin-preserving automorphism of normal …

CDFD analyzes circularity and directionality in weighted directed networks.

Under appropriate assumptions, we generalize the concept of linear almost Poisson struc- tures, almost Lie algebroids, almost differentials in the framework of Banach anchored bundles and the relation between these objects. We then obtain an adapted formalism for mechanical systems which is illustrated by the evolution…

Study geometrically characterizes piecewise circular curves with decreasing curvature.

This paper presents a novel approach to the technical analysis of wireheading in intelligent agents. Inspired by the natural analogues of wireheading and their prevalent manifestations, we propose the modeling of such phenomenon in Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents as psychological disorders. In a preliminary step tow…

Circular variables arise in a multitude of data-modelling contexts ranging from robotics to the social sciences, but they have been largely overlooked by the machine learning community. This paper partially redresses this imbalance by extending some standard probabilistic modelling tools to the circular domain. First w…

For a knot $K\subset S^3$, its exterior $E(K) = S^3\backslashη(K)$ has a singular foliation by Seifert surfaces of $K$ derived from a circle-valued Morse function $f\colon E(K)\to S^1$. When $f$ is self-indexing and has no critical points of index 0 or 3, the regular levels that separate the index-1 and index-2 critica…

The non-convexity of a smooth and compact connected component of a real algebraic plane curve can be measured by a combinatorial object called the Poincare-Reeb tree associated to the curve and to a direction of projection. In this paper we show that if the chosen projection avoids the bitangents and the inflectional t…

This article provides sufficient conditions for a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with non zero first Betti number to fiber over the circle, and to find a fiber in $M$. Those conditions are formulated in terms of the behavior the circular characteristic in finite regular covers of $M$. We define the circular character…

A regular circle-valued Morse function on the knot complement C(K) = S^3\K is a function f from C(K) to S^1 which separates critical points and which behaves nicely in a neighborhood of the knot. Such a function induces a handle decomposition on the knot exterior E(K) = S^3\N (K), with the property that every regular l…

We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular, \textrm{$k$-circular convex} and \textrm{$k$-circular visible} ones. Investigati…

In this note we prove that any monohedral tiling of the closed circular unit disc with $k \leq 3$ topological discs as tiles has a $k$-fold rotational symmetry. This result yields the first nontrivial estimate about the minimum number of tiles in a monohedral tiling of the circular disc in which not all tiles contain t…

We show a non existence result for solutions of the prescribed mean curvature equation in the product manifold $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \R$, where $\mathbb{H}^2$ is the real hyperbolic plane. More precisely we prove a-priori estimates for graphs with constant mean curvature $h \in (0, 1/2]$ on circular annuli of $\mathbb{H…
