Progressive Convex Hull Simplification
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Convex hulls are useful as tight bounding proxies for a variety of tasks including collision detection, ray intersection, and distance computation. Unfortunately, the complexity of polyhedral convex hulls grows linearly with their input. We consider the problem of conservatively simplifying a convex hull to a specified number of half‐spaces ...

The role of structural transformation in regional convergence in Japan: 1874–2008
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Japan's regional convergence of productivity levels throughout the twentieth century can be best described as a cumulative process of ‘catching up, forging ahead, and falling behind’. Using a novel dataset spanning 135 years (1874–2008), this study finds support for a crucial role played by structural transformation in convergence. The pace of

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Brexit shook to its very core one of the European Union's (EU's) prominent partnerships, the Franco‐British bilateral relationship (FBBR), disrupting diplomatic routines and shattering interpersonal trust before circumstances changed and the relationship rapidly began to mend. In this article, we analyse the breakdown and restoration of Franco‐

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract While research on ecosystems and their orchestration has grown rapidly, we still know little about how individual strategic leaders may mobilize ecosystemic action in times of disruption. This article addresses this gap by drawing on an in‐depth case study of the Antwerp Square Mile, the world’s oldest and most renowned diamond trading ...
