1711. Optimal approximation of spherical squares by tensor product quadratic Bézier patchesAleš Vavpetič, Emil Žagar, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In cited article E. F. Eisele considered the problem of the optimal approximation of symmetric surfaces by biquadratic Bézier patches. Unfortunately, the results therein are incorrect, which is shown in this paper by considering the optimal approximation of spherical squares. A detailed analysis and a numerical algorithm are given, providing the best approximant according to the (simplified) radial error, which differs from the one obtained mentioned article. The sphere is then approximated by the continuous spline of two and six tensor product quadratic Bézier patches. It is further shown that the $G^1$ smooth spline of six patches approximating the sphere exists, but it is not a good approximation. The problem of an approximation of spherical rectangles is also addressed and numerical examples indicate that several optimal approximants might exist in some cases, making the problem extremely difficult to handle. Finally, numerical examples are provided that confirm the theoretical results.

1713. Coherence and avoidance of sure loss for standardized functions and semicopulasErich Peter Klement, Damjana Kokol-Bukovšek, Blaž Mojškerc, Matjaž Omladič, Susanne Saminger, Nik Stopar, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We discuss avoidance of sure loss and coherence results for semicopulas and standardized functions, i.e., for grounded, $1$-increasing functions with value $1$ at $(1, 1, \ldots , 1)$. We characterize the existence of a $k$-increasing $n$-variate function $C$ fulfilling $A \le C \le B$ for standardized $n$-variate functions $A$, $B$ and discuss methods for constructing such functions. Our proofs also include procedures for extending functions on some countably infinite mesh to functions on the unit box. We provide a characterization when $A$ respectively $B$ coincides with the pointwise infimum respectively supremum of the set of all $k$-increasing $n$-variate functions $C$ fulfilling $A \le C \le B$.

1714. Outerplane bipartite graphs with isomorphic resonance graphsSimon Brezovnik, Zhongyuan Che, Niko Tratnik, Petra Žigert Pleteršek, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We present novel results related to isomorphic resonance graphs of 2-connected outerplane bipartite graphs. As the main result, we provide a structure characterization for 2-connected outerplane bipartite graphs with isomorphic resonance graphs. Three additional characterizations are expressed in terms of resonance digraphs, via local structures of inner duals, as well as using distributive lattices on the set of order ideals of posets defined on inner faces of 2-connected outerplane bipartite graphs.

1716. On the exact region determined by Spearman's rho and Spearman's footruleDamjana Kokol-Bukovšek, Nik Stopar, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: We determine the lower bound for possible values of Spearman’s rho of a bivariate copula given that the value of its Spearman's footrule is known and show that this bound is always attained. We also give an estimate for the exact upper bound and prove that the estimate is exact for some but not all values of Spearman's footrule. Nevertheless, we show that the estimate is quite tight.

1717. Minimal surfaces with symmetriesFranc Forstnerič, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a connected open Riemann surface $X$ by holomorphic automorphisms and acting on a Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^n$ $(n\ge 3)$ by orthogonal transformations. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a $G$-equivariant conformal minimal immersion $F:X\to{\mathbb R}^n$. We show in particular that such a map $F$ always exists if $G$ acts without fixed points on $X$. Furthermore, every finite group $G$ arises in this way for some open Riemann surface $X$ and $n=2|G|$. We obtain an analogous result for minimal surfaces having complete ends with finite total Gaussian curvature, and for discrete infinite groups acting on $X$ properly discontinuously and acting on ${\mathbb R}^n$ by rigid transformations.

1719. Weathering effects on cellulose acetate microplastics from discarded cigarette buttsBranka Mušič, Andrijana Sever Škapin, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci (vabljeno predavanje) Povzetek: Cellulose acetate, commonly used in cigarette filters, poses environmental concerns due to its questionable (bio)degradability and prevalent presence in nature. This study compares the weathering effects on two types of cigarette filters: traditional and newer filters used in heated tobacco devices (HTP). Microplastics were derived from used cigarette parts and then subjected to artificial aging. Analytical techniques (Thermogravimetry-Differential Scanning Calorimetry TG/DSC, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis (FTIR)) and loose bulk density measurements were employed pre- and post-aging cellulose acetate of both types of samples. Despite increasing evidence influencing European Union (EU) directives on tobacco product disposal, there's a lack of systematic analysis on the weathering impact, especially concerning the touted environmental benefits of newer filters. Results indicate decreased particle size in cellulose acetate filters post-aging. Variances were observed in thermal behavior, yet FTIR spectra remained unchanged.

1720. Green transition in slovenian building and civil engineering industry : 10 years of research on alkali-activated materials and alkali-activated foamsBarbara Horvat, Branka Mušič, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci (vabljeno predavanje) Povzetek: The building and civil engineering industry yearly causes more than 40% of man-made CO2 and consumes raw materials for two-thirds of Mont Everest. To decrease the carbon footprint and consumption of raw materials, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are researched as an alternative to conventional building and civil engineering products like cements, mortar, and ceramics. Ideally, locally available waste materials are used as ingredients: (i) as precursors that react with alkali and form an aluminosilicate network, and (ii) as fillers that get permanently encapsulated and safely stored in AAMs. The addition of gas bubbles and lightweight fillers transforms AAMs into alkali-activated foams and alkali-activated lightweight materials that have the potential to be used as thermal and acoustic insulation materials. Although AAMs are researched worldwide, this review focuses on the state-of-the-art localised solely to Slovenia, particularly on the materials and curing procedures used, as well as on the scientific contribution of the basic research. Besides, the year 2024 marks 10 years of research on alkali activation of raw and waste inorganic materials in Slovenia.
