When developing CAD-type intersection algorithms forNonUniform Rational B-splines surfaces (NURBS) is importantto ensure that the algorithm identifies all intersectionbranches. For transversal intersections this is fairlystraight forward. For singular or near singular intersection,when the surfaces are close and near parallel, thetraditional app...

Duplex DNA, the genetic material in living cells, is an unusually inflexible biopolymer. The persistence length of duplex DNA corresponds to 150 base pairs under physiological conditions. Surprisingly, the physical origin of this DNA stiffness is unknown. In particular, the contribution of the high negative charge density of DNA to its stiffness...

Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) for a coastal community or harbor can be performed by running a tsunami propagation/inundation code with initial seafloor deformations sampled from some presumed probability distribution of possible earthquakes. In addition to uncertainty in the tsunami source, tidal uncertainty has to be incorporat...

Joint work with Doug Oldenburg.Image appraisal in geophysical inverse problem can provide insight into theresolving capability and uncertainty of estimates. Although a rigorous approachto solve nonlinear appraisal analysis is still lacking but several methods havebeen proposed in the past such as linearized Backus-Gilbert analysis, funnelfunctio...

Recently we introduced a framework for applying subgradient methods to solve general convex, conic optimization problems. The framework, once seen, is 'obvious,' but had not appeared in the literature, a blind spot. Quite recently we posted a refinement of the framework in the special case of hyperbolic programming. Hyperbolicity cones have alge...
