Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mathematics and computer graphics are mutually beneficial. Computational mathematics methods permeate computer graphics and provide the theoretical support and background for various computer graphics algorithms. On the other hand, computer graphics provides tools for visualizing abstract and complex mathematical concepts, which contributes significantly to their understanding.

The advent of computer graphics has played a pivotal and transformative role in the evolution of computational visualization and has had a significant impact on all levels of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). Computational visualization, as a field that combines mathematics and computer graphics through visual imagery, has proven to be a highly effective medium for communicating abstract and tangible concepts.

The goal of this Special Issue is to explore computational visualization from different angles: to develop new mathematical methods that support the creation of computational visualizations; to use creative mathematical techniques in the development of software for visualization; to graphically represent complex mathematical objects and concepts and the relationships between them, but also illustrations and simulations of scientific, technological, engineering, and artistic (STEAM) content; to use programming languages and their extensions for 2D and 3D graphical applications and popular tools for 2D and 3D modeling, computer-aided design, rendering, and animation, for interactive geometry, algebra, and calculus, and for symbolic evaluation, and other software for developing scientific computational visualizations.

Abstract
Helicoidal surfaces of constant mean curvature were fully described by do Carmo and Dajczer. However, the obtained parameterizations are given in terms of somewhat complicated integrals, and as a consequence, not many examples of such surfaces are visualized.

Helicoidal surfaces of constant mean curvature were fully described by do Carmo and Dajczer. However, the obtained parameterizations are given in terms of somewhat complicated integrals, and as a consequence, not many examples of such surfaces are visualized. In this paper, by using these methods in some particular cases, we provide several interesting visualizations involving these surfaces, mostly as an isometric deformation of a rotational surface. We also give interpretations of some older results involving helicoidal surfaces, motivated by the work carried out by Malkowsky and Veličković. All of the graphics in this paper were created in Wolfram Mathematica. Full article

One nappe of a right circular cone, cut by a transverse plane, splits the cone into an infinite frustum and a cone with an elliptical section of finite volume. There is a standard way of computing this finite volume, which involves finding the parameters of the so-called shadow ellipse, the characteristics of the oblique ellipse (the cut) and, finally, the projection of the vertex of the cone onto the oblique ellipse. This paper shows that it is possible to compute that volume just by using the information of the shadow ellipse and the height of the cone. Indeed, the finite slant cone has the same volume of an elliptic right cone, with the base being the shadow ellipse of the cut portion and with the height being the distance between the vertex of the cone and the intersection of the height of the original cone with the cutting plane. This is proved by introducing a volume-preserving shear transformation of the elliptical slant cone to a right cone, so that the standard volume formula for a cone can be straightforwardly applied. This implies a simplification in the procedure for computing the volume, since the oblique ellipse—i.e., the difficult part—can be neglected because only the shadow ellipse needs to be determined.

In the present work, in order to approximate integrable vector-valued functions, we study the Kantorovich version of vector-valued Shepard operators. We also display some applications supporting our results by using parametric plots of a surface and a space curve. Finally, we also investigate how nonnegative regular (matrix) summability methods affect the approximation. Full article
