Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.

Progressively Projected Newton's Method

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.

Skeletal‐Driven Animation of Anatomical Humans via Neural Deformation Gradients

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Most real‐time animation techniques for digital humans are limited to deforming the outer skin surface. Geometric skinning methods are highly efficient but struggle with artifacts such as collapsing joints or self‐intersections when animating inner anatomy along with the outer skin.

Hierarchical Optimization of the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Energy

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy [SA07] has become a versatile ingredient in various geometry processing and machine learning methods. The classic method for its minimization is a block coordinate descent, alternating between local rotation estimation and a global linear solve, which converges slowly for large problem instances.

Mixed Super‐Circles

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Fast Nodal Hessian Computation for Peridynamic Fracture Simulation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
A fast, exact nodal Hessian computation for Non‐Ordinary State‐Based Peridynamics is introduced through analytical simplification and a warp‐centric GPU strategy. The method accelerates preconditioned solvers and Vertex Block Descent, enabling interactive fracture simulation with physical accuracy.

Memoryless quasi-Newton-type methods via some weak secant relations for large-scale unconstrained optimization

Journal of Inequalities and Applications
This article presents two variants of memoryless quasi-Newton methods with backtracking line search for large-scale unconstrained minimization. These updating methods are derived by means of a least-change updating strategy subjected to some weaker form ...

Fracture load and three‐dimensional internal void analysis of direct composites used to restore worn molars

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated (1) the load‐bearing capacity of molars restored with direct occlusal veneers fabricated either from short‐fiber‐reinforced composite (SFRC) or particulate‐filled composite (PFC) and the presence of internal voids within the materials, and (2) effect of water storage on the fracture load and correlation between internal ...

Continued population recovery and high annual survival rates of White‐rumped Vultures in Nepal

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of Gyps vultures in South Asia underwent catastrophic declines caused by unintentional poisoning by the veterinary drug diclofenac. Since the drug was banned in 2006–2010, declines have halted across the region, including in Nepal. The present study updates population trends of G.
