Of hired guns and ideologues: Why would a law firm ever retain an honest expert witness?

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract Suppose that expert witnesses appearing in litigation are, generically, either honest in their assessment of a fact situation or are advocates who testify in favour of their retaining party, regardless of new information. The type of a witness is known to law firms, who engage with them repeatedly, but not to courts.

Neural Local Inter‐reflection Modeling for Garment Fold Rendering

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Realistic garment rendering requires simulating complex multi‐bounce light paths within intricate fold geometries. In these regions, conventional path tracing is computationally expensive as light becomes trapped, necessitating high bounce counts for convergence.

Affinification: A Fine Approximation of Deformations

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce affinification, a novel method for accelerating physics‐based animation of elastic solids. During a time‐dependent simulation, our method automatically partitions the space into affine and elastic regions depending on the deformation.

Progressively Projected Newton's Method

open access: yesComputer 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.
