Geometric Algebra for Vector Field Analysis and Visualization: Mathematical Settings, Overview and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formal language of Clifford’s algebras is attracting an increasingly large community of mathematicians, physicists and software developers seduced by the conciseness and the efficiency of this compelling system of mathematics. This contribution will suggest how these concepts can be used to serve the purpose of scientific visualization and more specifically to reveal the general structure of complex vector fields. We will emphasize the elegance and the ubiquitous nature of the geometric algebra approach, as well as point out the computational issues at stake.

A representation for some groups, a geometric approach
In the present paper, we are going to use geometric and topological concepts, entities and properties of the integral curves of linear vector fields, and the theory of differential equations, to establish a representation for some groups on $R^{n} (ngeq 1)$. Among other things, we investigate the surjectivity and faithfulness of the representation. At the end, we give some app...
متن کاملDifferential Methods for Multi-dimensional Visual Data Analysis
Images in scientific visualization are the end product of data processing. Starting from higher-dimensional data sets such as scalar, vector, and tensor fields given on 2D, 3D, and 4D domains, the objective is to reduce this complexity to two-dimensional images comprehensible to the human visual system. Various mathematical fields such as in particular differential geometry, topology (theory of...

We illustrate the suitability of geometric algebra for representing structures and developing algorithms in computer graphics, especially for engineering applications. A number of example applications are reviewed. Geometric algebra unites many underpinning mathematical concepts in computer graphics such as vector algebra and vector fields, quaternions, kinematics and projective geometry, and i...
متن کاملInvestigation of SLIM Dynamic Models Based on Vector Control for Railway Applications
Although, Single-Sided Linear Induction Motor (SLIM) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to Rotational Induction Motors (RIM), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. This paper focuses on the problems of SLIM modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of Field Oriented Control (FOC) as a ...
متن کاملJoint and Generalized Spectral Radius of Upper Triangular Matrices with Entries in a Unital Banach Algebra
In this paper, we discuss some properties of joint spectral {radius(jsr)} and generalized spectral radius(gsr) for a finite set of upper triangular matrices with entries in a Banach algebra and represent relation between geometric and joint/generalized spectral radius. Some of these are in scalar matrices, but some are different. For example for a bounded set of scalar matrices,$Sigma$, $r_*...
