Determining a Rotation of a Tetrahedron from a Projection

The following problem, arising from medical imaging, is addressed: Suppose that T is a known tetrahedron in ?³ with centroid at the origin. Also known is the orthogonal projection U of the vertices of the image ?T of T under an unknown rotation ? about the origin. Under what circumstances can ? be determined from T and U?     

Symmetry-based solution of a model for a combination of a risky investment and a riskless investment

Benth and Karlsen [F.E. Benth, K.H. Karlsen, A note on Merton's portfolio selection problem for the Schwartz mean-reversion model, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 23 (2005) 687-704] treated a problem of the optimisation of the selection of a portfolio based upon the Schwartz mean-reversion model. The resulting Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in 1+2 dimensions is quite nonlinear. The solution obtained by Benth and Karlsen was very ingenious. We provide a solution of the problem based on the application of the Lie theory of continuous groups to the partial differential equation and its associated boundary and terminal conditions.     

On a mapping of a projective space into a sphere

We obtain an exact estimate for the minimum multiplicity of a continuous finite-to-one mapping of a projective space into a sphere for all dimensions. For finite-to-one mappings of a projective space into a Euclidean space, we obtain an exact estimate for this multiplicity for n = 2, 3. For n ≥ 4, we prove that this estimate does not exceed 4. Several open questions are formulated.     

Calculating a function of a matrix with a real spectrum

Let T be a square matrix with a real spectrum, and let f be an analytic function. The problem of the approximate calculation of f(T) is discussed. Applying the Schur triangular decomposition and the reordering, one can assume that T is triangular and its diagonal entries t_ii are arranged in increasing order. To avoid calculations using the differences t_ii ? t_jj with close (including equal) t_ii and t_jj, it is proposed to represent T in a block form and calculate the two main block diagonals using interpolating polynomials. The rest of the f(T) entries can be calculated using the Parlett recurrence algorithm. It is also proposed to perform some scalar operations (such as the building of interpolating polynomials) with an enlarged number of significant decimal digits.

     

Folding a surface to a polygon

A concept of folding for compact connected surfaces, involving the partition of the surface into combinatorially identical n-sided topological polygons, is defined. The existence of such foldings for given n and given surfaces is explored, with definitive results for the sphere and the torus. We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of such foldings in all other cases.Supported by Kuwait University Grant SM 043.
