The "Perpendicular Bisectors Construction" is a natural way to seek a replacement for the circumcenter of a noncyclic quadrilateral in the plane. In this paper, we generalize this iterative construction to a construction on polytopes with…
Given any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction…
We compare results of the exact field theory of phase separation in two dimensions with Monte Carlo simulations for the $q$-state Potts model with boundary conditions producing an interfacial region separating two pure phases. We confirm in…
This paper presents an alternate choice of computing the convex hulls (CHs) for planar point sets. We firstly discard the interior points and then sort the remaining vertices by x- / y- coordinates separately, and later create a group…
In this paper, a class of fractals, called quadrilateral labyrinth fractals, are introduced and studied. They are a special kind of fractals on any quadrilateral on the plane. This type of fractal is motivated by labyrinth fractal on the…
An upward equilateral triangle of side $n$ can be partitioned into $n$ unit upward equilateral triangles and $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ unit rhombi with $60^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$ angles. In this paper, we focus on understanding such partitions…
An old theorem of Alexander Soifer's is the following: Given five points in a triangle of unit area, there must exist some three of them which form a triangle of area 1/4 or less. It is easy to check that this is not true if "five" is…
We consider right prisms with horizontal quadrilateral bases and tops, and vertical rectangular sides. We look for examples where all the edges, face diagonals and space diagonals are integers. We find examples when the base is an isosceles…
We study the following range searching problem: Preprocess a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane with respect to a set $\mathcal{O}$ of $k$ orientations % , for a constant, in the plane so that given an $\mathcal{O}$-oriented convex polygon…
We give a formula for the number of interior intersection points made by the diagonals of a regular $n$-gon. The answer is a polynomial on each residue class modulo 2520. We also compute the number of regions formed by the diagonals, by…
We study inelastic meson-meson scattering that is governed by quark-antiquark annihilation and creation involving a quark and an antiquark annihilating into a gluon, and subsequently the gluon creating another quark-antiquark pair. The…
This paper is devoted to presenting a new approach to determine the intersection of two quadrics based on the detailed analysis of its projection in the plane (the so called cutcurve) allowing to perform the corresponding lifting correctly.…
Sequences of polygons generated by performing iterative processes on an initial polygon have been studied extensively. One of the most popular sequences is the one sometimes referred to as {\it Kasner polygons}. Given a polygon $K$, the…
We indicate that Heron's formula (which relates the square of the area of a triangle to a quartic function of its edge lengths) can be interpreted as a scissors congruence in 4-dimensional space. In the process of demonstrating this, we…
While conformal transformations of the plane preserve Laplace's equation, Lorentz-conformal mappings preserve the wave equation. We discover how simple geometric objects, such as quadrilaterals and pairs of crossing curves, are transformed…
We study tilings of polygons $R$ with arbitrary convex polygonal tiles. Such tilings come in continuous families obtained by moving tile edges parallel to themselves (keeping edge directions fixed). We study how the tile shapes and areas…
We will first solve the following problem analytically: given a piece of wire of specified length, we will find where the wire should be cut and bent to form two regular polygons not necessarily having the same number of sides, so that the…
This paper presents an analysis on the effects of floating-point arithmetic on the constructing bifurcation diagram of the quadratic map. More precisely, we are interested in showing the dependence of initial conditions to obtain some…
We review the twistorial structures by providing a setting under which the corresponding (differential) geometry can be described, by involving the $\rho$-connections. This applies, for example, to give new proofs of the existence of the…
Suppose that a polygon $P$ is given as an array containing the vertices in counterclockwise order. We analyze how many vertices (including the index of each of these vertices) we need to know before we can bound $P$, i.e., report a bounded…
