Abstract—Off-axis ellipsoid reflector based off-focus configuration for deastigmatism and circularization of an elliptical Gaussian beam is proposed. Mostly used off-axis ellipsoid reflector based conventional configuration is constructed by aligning the incident direction directed to one focus of the ellipsoid, which reflect the output beam to the another focus of the ellipsoid. However, such ...

We report current work on methods for robust fitting of ellipsoids to the shape of the human head in three-dimensional models built from laser scanner acquisitions. A starting ellipsoid is obtained from Principal Component Analysis from mesh vertices; those regions far from the surface of the ellipsoid are penalized (outlier rejection and/or damping). A first method consists in re-calculating i...

The problem of downward continuation of the gravity field from the Earth’s surface to the reference ellipsoid arises from the fact that the solution to the boundary value problem for geoid determination without applying Stokes formula is sought in terms of the disturbing potential on the ellipsoid but the gravity observations are only available on the Earth’s surface. Downward continuation is a...

In this paper we examine the problem of reconstructing a (possibly dynamic) ellipsoid from its (possibly inconsistent) orthogonal silhouette projections. We present a particularly convenient representation of ellipsoids as elements of the vector space of symmetric matrices. The relationship between an ellipsoid and its orthogonal projections in this representation is linear, unlike the standard...

We consider convex quadratic programming problem with convex quadratic constraints and suggest a modification of the well-known ellipsoid method based on using an ellipsoidal layer in the problem of circumscribing the minimum volume ellipsoid around of a part of a given ellipsoid. Our paper contains further development and improvement of the technique previously developed in [E.G88]. We show ho...

in this paper, under the condition that $k$ is concave, we characterize lacunary series in $q_{k}$ spaces. we improve a result due to h. wulan and k. zhu.

In this paper, we present a new formulation for constructing an ellipsoid which generalizes the computation of the minimum volume covering ellipsoid, based on the CVaR minimization technique proposed by Rockafellar and Uryasev (2002). The proposed ellipsoid construction is formulated as a convex optimization and an interior point algorithm for the solution can be developed. In addition, the opt...

Veech groups uniformize Teichmüller geodesics in Riemann moduli space. We gave examples of infinitely generated Veech groups; see Duke Math. J. 123 (2004), 49–69. Here we show that the associated Teichmüller geodesics can even have both infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite ends.
