Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry
Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Invariant polynomials in harmonic analysis [PDF]
This thesis presents a methodology for analysing equiaffine invariant measures on surfaces, building on a modified version of a comparability lemma from a 2019 work of P. Gressman.

Social Status, Inequality, and Redistribution
ABSTRACT We explore implications of social status concerns for redistribution, income inequality, and growth in a political economy framework. Salience of such concerns leads to a propagation mechanism, whereby initial income inequality and reduced willingness to redistribute income reinforce each other, potentially giving rise to multiple steady ...

ABSTRACT Zircon is a common, highly refractory accessory mineral found in sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks that forms through various processes (e.g., magmatic, hydrothermal, metamorphic growth and recrystallization). Trace element compositions of detrital zircon have been widely applied to understanding tectonic processes and continental ...

Longevity, Health, and Housing Risk Management in Retirement
ABSTRACT Annuities, long‐term care insurance, and reverse mortgages remain puzzlingly unpopular to manage post‐retirement longevity, health, and housing price risks. We use a flexible life‐cycle model structurally estimated with a unique stated‐preference survey experiment of Canadian households to understand why. Key factors include high risk aversion,

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the prevalence of independent money management (IMM) versus joint management among Eastern and Western German couples and examine how partners' relative income and wealth relate to IMM across regional contexts. Background IMM is often linked to contexts with higher levels of gender equality and greater resource equality ...

Penalized Convex Estimation in Dynamic Location Models
ABSTRACT This paper studies L1$$ {L}^1 $$‐penalized estimation for location models yt=mt+ϵt$$ {y}_t={m}_t+{\epsilon}_t $$, where mt$$ {m}_t $$ is defined by a possibly non‐Markovian recursion and ϵt$$ {\epsilon}_t $$ is a martingale difference sequence with possibly time‐varying conditional variance.

Robust Stability of Multilinear Affine Polynomials
This paper deals with the robust stability problem of multilinear affine polynomials. By multilinear affine polynomials, we mean an uncertain polynomial family consisting of multiples of independent uncertain polynomials of the form P(s, q) = l0(q)+l1(q ...

Measure‐valued processes for energy markets
Abstract We introduce a framework that allows to employ (non‐negative) measure‐valued processes for energy market modeling, in particular for electricity and gas futures. Interpreting the process' spatial structure as time to maturity, we show how the Heath–Jarrow–Morton approach can be translated to this framework, thus guaranteeing arbitrage free ...

Affine toda field theories on a half-line [PDF]
This thesis is primarily concerned with the reflection factors of affine Toda field theories on the half-line x ≤ 0. First, we consider the classical background configurations of low rank a,(^(1)) affine Toda theories with a boundary, constructed by the ...
