Convex duality and entropy-based moment closures: Characterizing degenerate densities
A common method for constructing a function from a finite set of moments is to solve a constrained minimization problem. The idea is to find, among all functions with the given ...

Metric Combinatorics of Convex Polyhedra: Cut Loci and Nonoverlapping Unfoldings
Let S be the boundary of a convex polytope of dimension d + 1, or more generally let S be a convex polyhedral pseudomanifold. We prove that S has a polyhedral nonoverlapping unfold...

A general geometric construction of coordinates in a convex simplicial polytope
Barycentric coordinates are a fundamental concept in computer graphics and geometric modeling. We extend the geometric construction of Floater’s mean value coordinates [8,11] to...

The number of lines tangent to arbitrary convex polyhedra in 3D
We prove that the lines tangent to four possibly intersecting convex polyhedra in   3 with n edges in total form Θ(n2 ) connected components in the worst case. In the generic ca...

Random classification noise defeats all convex potential boosters
A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
