Exacus - A Detailed Overview

Eric Berberich, Max-Planck-Institut fur Informatik

Abstract:

Exacus is a collection of software libraries that support and handle non-linear geometry problems - arrangements of algebraic curves and surfaces. Our goal was to build a system that is complete, exact and efficient. This talk first gives an overview of what is available, and then introduces some aspects in detail, e.g., the important GAPS layer, which is used for representing points and segments on arbitrary algebraic curves. Finally, we discuss the underlying software design and the future of Exacus.
