Saga Advances In Shapes Geometry And Algebra

Download or read book SAGA – Advances in ShApes, Geometry, and Algebra written by Tor Dokken and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes research carried out in workshops of the SAGA project, an Initial Training Network exploring the interplay of Shapes, Algebra, Geometry and Algorithms. Written by a combination of young and experienced researchers, the book introduces new ideas in an established context. Among the central topics are approximate and sparse implicitization and surface parametrization; algebraic tools for geometric computing; algebraic geometry for computer aided design applications and problems with industrial applications. Readers will encounter new methods for the (approximate) transition between the implicit and parametric representation; new algebraic tools for geometric computing; new applications of isogeometric analysis and will gain insight into the emerging research field situated between algebraic geometry and computer aided geometric design.
