Recent advances in both the theory and implementation of computational algebraic geometry have led to new, striking applications to a variety of fields of research. The articles in this volume highlight a range of these applications and provide introductory material for topics covered in the IMA workshops on "Optimization and Control" and "Applications in Biology, Dynamics, and Statistics" held during the IMA year on Applications of Algebraic Geometry. The articles related to optimization and control focus on burgeoning use of semidefinite programming and moment matrix techniques in computational real algebraic geometry. The new direction towards a systematic study of non-commutative real algebraic geometry is well represented in the volume. Other articles provide an overview of the way computational algebra is useful for analysis of contingency tables, reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, and in systems biology. The contributions collected in this volume are accessible to non-experts, self-contained and informative; they quickly move towards cutting edge research in these areas, and provide a wealth of open problems for future research.

Genre: Mathematics
ISBN: 1475769113

An illustration of the many uses of algebraic geometry, highlighting the more recent applications of Groebner bases and resultants. Along the way, the authors provide an introduction to some algebraic objects and techniques more advanced than typically encountered in a first course. The book is accessible to non-specialists and to readers with a diverse range of backgrounds, assuming readers know the material covered in standard undergraduate courses, including abstract algebra. But because the text is intended for beginning graduate students, it does not require graduate algebra, and in particular, does not assume that the reader is familiar with modules.

Genre: Mathematics
ISBN: 3319086359

This book summarizes research carried out in workshops of the SAGA project, an Initial Training Network exploring the interplay of Shapes, Algebra, Geometry and Algorithms. Written by a combination of young and experienced researchers, the book introduces new ideas in an established context. Among the central topics are approximate and sparse implicitization and surface parametrization; algebraic tools for geometric computing; algebraic geometry for computer aided design applications and problems with industrial applications. Readers will encounter new methods for the (approximate) transition between the implicit and parametric representation; new algebraic tools for geometric computing; new applications of isogeometric analysis and will gain insight into the emerging research field situated between algebraic geometry and computer aided geometric design.

This book presents a novel standpoint concerning contemporary physics, namely, quantum mechanics with a view toward algebraic geometry. As is well-known, algebraic geometry is the study of geometric objects delineated by polynomials, and the polynomial representations are ubiquitous in physics. For this reason, quantum mechanics is also an object of algebraic geometry. An example is the eigenvalue problem. It is a set of polynomial equations and has traditionally been the question of linear algebra. However, the modern method of computational algebraic geometry accurately unravels the information encapsulated in the polynomials. This approach shall not remain as a plaything. It has betokened an innovative style of electronic structure computation. The objects of this new method include the simultaneous determination of the wave-functions and the movements of nuclei, or the prediction of the required structure that shall show the desired property. Accordingly, this book explains the basic ideas of computational algebraic geometry and related topics, such as Groebner bases, primary ideal decomposition, Dmodules, Galois, class field theory, etc. The intention of the author is, nevertheless, not to give an irksome list of abstract concepts. He hopes that the readers shall use algebraic geometry as the active tool of the computations. For this reason, this book abundantly presents the model computations, by which the readers shall learn how to apply algebraic geometry toward quantum mechanics. The readers shall also see the modern computer algebra could facilitate the study when you would like to apply abstract mathematical ideas to definite physical problems.

The goal of the Volume I Geometric Algebra for Computer Vision, Graphics and Neural Computing is to present a unified mathematical treatment of diverse problems in the general domain of artificial intelligence and associated fields using Clifford, or geometric, algebra. Geometric algebra provides a rich and general mathematical framework for Geometric Cybernetics in order to develop solutions, concepts and computer algorithms without losing geometric insight of the problem in question. Current mathematical subjects can be treated in an unified manner without abandoning the mathematical system of geometric algebra for instance: multilinear algebra, projective and affine geometry, calculus on manifolds, Riemann geometry, the representation of Lie algebras and Lie groups using bivector algebras and conformal geometry. By treating a wide spectrum of problems in a common language, this Volume I offers both new insights and new solutions that should be useful to scientists, and engineers working in different areas related with the development and building of intelligent machines. Each chapter is written in accessible terms accompanied by numerous examples, figures and a complementary appendix on Clifford algebras, all to clarify the theory and the crucial aspects of the application of geometric algebra to problems in graphics engineering, image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, machine learning, neural computing and cognitive systems.
