Vector Field Topology with Clifford Algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
One way to visualize vector elds was based on their qualitative structure by showing the eld topology after linear or bilinear interpolation. This paper extends this to cases of nonlinear behavior in the grid cells. It uses new ideas about the analysis of some polynomial vector elds which have been proved by using Cliiord algebra and analysis. They are used as local model for the visualization and allow general positions and arbitrary Poincare indices of the critical points in the interesting regions .

Visualizing Nonlinear Vector Field Topology
We present our results on the visualization of non-linear vector field topology. The underlying mathematics is done in Clifford algebra, a system describing geometry by extending the usual vector space by a multiplication of vectors. We started with the observation that all known algorithms for vector field topology are based on piecewise linear or bilinear approximation and that these methods ...
متن کاملTopological vector field visualization with Clifford algebra
Visualization is the discipline in Computer Science dealing with the representation of data by computer generated images. “It transforms the symbolic into the geometric, enabling researchers to observe their simulations and computations,” [MD87, p. 2]. One major area visualizes vector fields. In applied mathematics, the study of gas dynamics, combustion and fluid flow leads to vector fields des...
متن کاملExplicit isomorphisms of real Clifford algebras
It is well known that the Clifford algebra Cl p,q associated to a nondegenerate quadratic form on R n (n = p + q) is isomorphic to a matrix algebra K(m) or direct sum K(m) ⊕ K(m) of matrix algebras, where K = R, C, H. On the other hand, there are no explicit expressions for these isomorphisms in literature. In this work, we give a method for the explicit construction of these isomorphisms. Let ...
متن کاملImplementation of a Clifford Algebra Co-Processor Design on a Field Programmable Gate Array
We present the design of a Clifford algebra co-processor and its implementation on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). To the best of our knowledge this is the first such design developed. The design is scalable in both the Clifford algebra dimension and the bit width of the numerical factors. Both aspects are only limited by the hardware resources. Furthermore, the signature of the underly...
متن کاملAutomated Theorem Proving in the Homogeneous Model with Clifford Bracket Algebra
A Clifford algebra has three major multiplications: inner product, outer product and geometric product. Accordingly, the same Clifford algebra has three versions: Clifford vector algebra, which features on inner products and outer products of multivectors; Clifford bracket algebra, which features on pseudoscalars and inner products of vectors; Clifford geometric algebra, which features on geome...
