Alpha Shape Topology of the Cosmic Web
—We study the topology of the Megaparsec Cosmic Web on the basis of the Alpha Shapes of the galaxy distribution. The simplicial complexes of the alpha shapes are used to determin...

A Sparse Parametric Mixture Model for BTF Compression, Editing and Rendering
Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...

Plastic trees: interactive self-adapting botanical tree models
We present a dynamic tree modeling and representation technique that allows complex tree models to interact with their environment. Our method uses changes in the light distributi...

Understanding and Using Spector's Bar Recursive Interpretation of Classical Analysis
This note reexamines Spector's remarkable computational interpretation of full classical analysis. Spector's interpretation makes use of a rather abstruse recursion schem...
