This document discusses computing the minimum distance between two coplanar ellipses without computing foot points. It presents an approach using resultants to eliminate variables and obtain a polynomial whose minimum real root gives the distance. An example computes the distance between two moving ellipses. Future work includes further studying continuous motion, generalizing to ellipsoids, and handling non-coplanar ellipses.
Motivos para el uso de Instagram en los AdolescentesGema R. Quintana
Las redes sociales son uno de los medios de comunicación más empleados hoy en día. Instagram es una de las que más rápido crecimiento ha experimentado en todo el mundo, especialmente entre los adolescentes. Este estudio investiga los motivos para su uso y la relación que guarda con el contexto personal, la satisfacción vital y la opinión sobre sí mismo del adolescente. Se analizaron los resultados de 55 encuestas realizadas a alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria del IES La Albericia, obteniendo como principales motivos los factores: “Socialización”, “Creatividad”, “Agenda personal”, “Vigilancia” y “Álbum de recuerdos”. Se encuentra relación entre una opinión débil sobre sí mismo y un mayor uso de la aplicación. Las principales recompensas obtenidas son la diversión y las reacciones positivas (“me gustas” y comentarios) a sus publicaciones.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Computing the minimum distance between two coplanar
ellipses without computing the foot points.
The distance between two separated ellipses is an algebraic
number: our goal is to determine the polynomial with the
minimum distance between the given two ellipses as a real root.

The common aspect in all these works is that the problem is
always solved using foot points.

6. Problem
Our approach
Example
Future work
Our approach
We do not want to make the minimum distance computation
depending on the foot points since our goal is to study the
ellipse separation problem when they move by analyzing the
univariate polynomial providing by the distance.
We consider the following cases:
static case:
parallel axes
non-parallel axes
continuous motion case
The ellipses are supposed to be given in a non concrete way:
center coordinates, axes length, etc. are parameters to our
problem.

7. Problem
Our approach
Example
Future work
We consider the parametric equations of an ellipse
√ √
xe = xc + a cos t, ye = yc + b sin t
in order to construct a function fd which gives the distance
between a point (x0 , y0 ) and the ellipse:
√ √
fd := (x0 − a cos s)2 + (y0 − b sin s)2 − d
To simplify the expression of the function we use the following
substitution:
1 1
z−z z+z
sin t = , cos t =
2i 2
and then using resultants we eliminate the variable z.

9. Problem

Future work
To finish, we make the point (x0 , y0 ) to belong to the other
ellipse and continue like we did before. We obtain a polynomial
only in the variable d, Pd . The minimum distance is given by the
minimum real root of Pd .

10. Problem

Example
Future work
Example
Let E1 and E2 be two ellipses in R2 . E1 with center (0, 0) and
semi-axes of length 3 and 2. E2 centered in (7, 5) and with
semi-axes 4 and 2. E1 is moving along the y-axis. When t = 5
the two ellipses intersect.
Fernando Etayo, L. González-Vega, Gema R. Quintana
11. Problem
Our approach
Example
Future work
In this case the minimum distance is given by computing the
real roots of a polynomial Pd of degree 60 which factorizes in
polynomials of a degree of at most 12: two double factors of
degree 2, a triple factor of degree 12 and a simple factor of
degree 12; all of them multiplied by d4 .
Evaluating Pd in t = 5 we obtain that the distance is 0, as we
expected.
