....literature studying the topology of arrangements of hyperplanes in complex as well as real spaces (see [16] In some simple situations the Betti numbers of a union of n sets are easy to estimate. For instance, when the sets are compact and convex, a classical result of topology, the nerve lemma [17], gives us a bound on the individual Betti numbers of the union. The nerve lemma states that the homology groups of such a union is isomorphic to the homology groups of a combinatorially defined simplicial complex, the nerve complex (Fig. 1) The nerve complex has n vertices and thus the i th ....

A reader who would need more information about algebraic topology or homological algebra could refer to [May67, Wei94, Rot88, Hat]. A reader who would need more information about the geometric point of view of concurrency theory could refer to [Gou95, FGR99b] The purpose is indeed to explain with much more details 1 the speculations of the last paragraph of [Gau01c] More precisely, we are going to describe a research ....

....EDWARD SU 1. Introduction The Borsuk Ulam theorem and the Brouwer xed point theorem are well known theorems of topology with a very similar avor. Both are non constructive existence results with somewhat surprising conclusions. Most topology textbooks that cover these theorems (e.g. 4] [5], 6] do not mention the two are related although, in fact, the Borsuk Ulam theorem implies the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem. The theorems themselves are often proved using the machinery of algebraic topology or the concept of degree of a map. That one theorem implies the other can therefore be ....

....roadmaps. It might now be questioned whether there could be multiple robot motion planning methods that are between roadmap coordination and unconstrained motion planning, along the spectrum discussed in Section 4.1. To describe this middle ground, we borrow some concepts from algebraic topology [162]. A path can be considered as a 1 simplex, and each roadmap can be considered as a one dimensional (singular) complex. The simplexes in this complex are connected by combinations of their boundaries, which are the endpoints of the paths. The coordination space is formed by planning on the ....

....of V GS and V DS is the table look up model. Unfortunately, we cannot use the resulting piecewise constant model directly due to the continuity requirement for I DS (V GS ,V DS ) In TETA we generate a continuous piecewise linear surface from a table look up model using the method of triangulation [12]. The generalization of the triangularization procedure to 3D tables is straightforward. It is very important to observe that the derivative of I DS is not continuous, so these MOS models can be used in conjunction with the successive chord method, but not a Newton Raphson procedure. At the same ....

....we may get the same class in a syntactic way by considering a recursive enumeration of machines M with runtime sanity checking to make their outputs conform to the restrictions. 3 The General Sperner Problem We need some notions from topology; precise definitions may be found in texts such as [5]. A d manifold is a topological space covered by open neighborhoods homeomorphic to the Euclidean space R d . We also consider d manifolds with boundary, where we allow neighborhoods homeomorphic to the half space fx 2 R d j x 1 0g. For example, the Mobius strip (take a long rectangle and ....

....does not imply the non existence of fixed points. We shall take a more general approach. We propose to show that for a convex set A, that A Q i P i is convex and compact, and that the composition of and I projection is continuous (see Figure 2) Under such conditions, the theorem of Schauder [20] guarantees the existence of a fixed point. We begin with a information theoretic proof of the continuity of marginalisation restricted to the set of all strictly positive measures. Lemma 1 Let P denote the set of all strictly positive probability measures on the product space( Omega 1 ....

....If however we restrict ourselves to distributions in P , it is continuous. Hence I projection onto a convex subset of P is continuous, by the maximum theorem [21, p. 116] Thus for sets A ae P which obey the condition of Lemma 3, the existence of fixed points follows from Schauder [20]. Fortunately, for other convex sets, we do not have too much more work to do. Theorem 5 Let T k Gamma1 i=0 A i 6= with each A i P convex, compact. Then the marginalised iteration (7) possesses fixed points. Proof: Without loss of generality, we consider the mapping from A 0 onto ....

....approach. For a set of control points, p 1 ; p 2 ; pn 1 , let [p 1 ; p 2 ; pn 1 ] denote their convex hull, which will be referred to as a simplex. In two dimensions, a triangulation is obtained. For an n dimensional configuration space, a simplicial complex is constructed [27]. Every d dimensional simplex has d 1 faces, each of which are (d Gamma 1) dimensional simplexes. Furthermore, for every pair, S 1 , S 2 , of i dimensional simplexes in the simplicial complex, either S 1 S 2 = or S 1 and S 2 share an (i Gamma 1) dimensional face. Figure 1: Simplexes are ....

....We are looking for some easily verifiable sufficient condition for the map f to be surjective. Towards this goal, we borrow the following facts from algebraic topology. Exact definitions and proofs of many statements below can be found in most introductory textbooks on algebraic topology such as [22, 23]. To every continuous f : S n S n , n 0, we can associate a unique integer, called the degree of f and denoted by deg(f ) It is instructive to think of deg(f) as the number of times f wraps S n around itself . The following theorem summarizes some of the basic properties of deg(f ) ....

It is important to note that we do not explicitly store simplexes; only the control points are stored. In each simplex, the interpolation weights are selected as the barycentric coordinates [23]. This is the set of positive coe cients 1 ; 2 ; n 1 such that P n 1 i i = 1 and each point, x, in the simplex can be represented as a linear combination x = P n 1 i i x i in which the x i are the vertices of the simplex.

....homology, one of the most computational theories, and singular homology theory, one of the most general and yet fairly intuitive. For a comprehensive treatment of homology and algebraic topology in general, we refer the reader to Massey [7] Munkres [9] Bredon [2] Fulton [4] and Rotman [10]. Let K = K (0) K) be a complex. The essence of simplicial homology is to associate some abelian groups H p (K) with K. This is done by first defining some free abelian groups C p (K) made out of oriented p simplices. One of the main new ingredients is that every oriented p simplex oe is ....

....p (K) B p (K) What makes the homology groups of a complex interesting, is that they only depend on the geometric realization K g of the complex K, and not on the various complexes representing K g . Proving this fact requires relatively hard work, and we refer the reader to Munkres [9] or Rotman [10], for a proof. The first step in defining simplicial homology groups is to define oriented simplices. Given a complex K = K (0) K) recall that an n simplex is a subset oe = fff 0 ; ff n g of K (0) that belongs to the family K. Thus, the set oe corresponds to (n 1) linearly ....
