As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Regularization for Implicit Surfaces
Abstract Implicit surface representations have regained popularity because of their use in machine learning. A common component in optimization is regularization, penalizing the deviation of the surface from its original shape. The popular as‐rigid‐as‐possible (Arap) energy strikes a good compromise between realistic deformation behavior and efficient ...

On Bending in the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Deformation Energy
Abstract The well‐established As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy has various forms. For surface deformation, commonly used energies contain an implicit bending penalty. We present a natural, continuous generalization that incorporates multiple ARAP versions with an implicit, user‐controllable bending penalty.

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 ...

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction
Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...

The Causal Effect of Parents' Education on Children's Earnings
ABSTRACT We develop and estimate a model of endogenous schooling and earnings to isolate the causal effect of parents' education on children's outcomes. Identification uses earnings differences among children with equal schooling whose parents have different schooling.

Summary Defining a ‘hat‐matrix’ for a model is essential in many model diagnostic procedures, as it acts as an orthogonal projector from the observation space to the model space. In this paper, we introduce a unique Hat‐matrix for the class of hierarchical generalised linear models (HGLMs), which includes, as a special case, the subclass of generalised

The Evolution of Interest‐Rate Models: From the Yield Curve to the Swaption Cube
ABSTRACT Interest‐rate modelling is often taught as a catalogue of competing stochastic equations, obscuring why models were created and why modern sell‐side desks use several simultaneously. This survey reorganises the field around five layers of a pricing architecture: curve construction; arbitrage‐free dynamics; volatility‐smile representation ...

ABSTRACT Using two approaches, we contribute to sub‐national economic performance measurement by netting out the influence of a region's performance on its industries. The first approach measures performance using technical efficiency and involves introducing the first multilevel spatial stochastic frontier model.

Moving Aggregate Modified Autoregressive Copula‐Based Time Series Models (MAGMAR‐Copulas)
ABSTRACT Copula‐based time series models can model univariate and stationary time series in a flexible way by decomposing the joint distribution of consecutive observations into a copula and the stationary distribution. Implicitly, this approach assumes a finite Markov order. In reality, a time series may not follow the Markov property.

Institutional Changes, Effective Demand, and Inequality: A Structuralist Model of Secular Stagnation
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the factors driving economic stagnation and inequality in the US over recent decades. We study a demand‐driven model with joint adjustment of the functional distribution and capacity utilization in the short run, and explore the dynamics of wealth accumulation and labor productivity growth in the long run.
