Closed form solutions for the computation of the solid angle from polygonal cross-sections are well known, however similar formulae for computation of projected solid angle are not generally available. Formulae for computing the projected…
In this article we study the following question: What can be the measure of the minimal solid angle of a simplex in $\mathbb{R}^d$? We show that in dimensions three it is not greater than the solid angle of the regular simplex. And in…
We prove two criteria for direct sum decomposability of homogeneous polynomials. For a homogeneous polynomial with a non-zero discriminant, we interpret direct sum decomposability of the polynomial in terms of factorization properties of…
In this paper, we lay the foundations of the theory of slice regular functions in several variables ranging in any real alternative $^*$-algebra, including quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. This theory is an extension of the…
We prove a general duality theorem for tangle-like dense objects in combinatorial structures such as graphs and matroids. This paper continues, and assumes familiarity with, the theory developed in [6]
We develop a theory of simple pentagonal subdivision of quadrilateral tilings, on orientable as well as non-orientable surfaces. Then we apply the theory to answer questions related to pentagonal tilings of surfaces, especially those…
This paper contains a re-evaluation of the spectral approach and factorizability for regular matrix polynomials. In addition, solvent theory is extended from the monic and comonic cases to the regular case. The classification of extended…
Weighted cone-volume functionals are introduced for the convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For these functionals, geometric inequalities are proved and the equality conditions are characterized. A variety of corollaries are derived,…
I consider the expansion of transcendental functions in a small parameter around rational numbers. This includes in particular the expansion around half-integer values. I present algorithms which are suitable for an implementation within a…
The solid angle subtended by a right circular cylinder at a point source located at an arbitrary position generally consists of a sum of two terms: that defined by the cylindrical surface ($\Omega_{cyl}$) and the other by either of the end…
We prove a generalisation to any characteristic of a result of Macdonald that describes strict polynomial functors in characteristic zero in terms of representations of the groupoid of finite sets and bijections. Our result will give an…
Consider the random polytope, that is given by the convex hull of a Poisson point process on a smooth convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove central limit theorems for continuous motion invariant valuations including the Will's functional…
This paper reviews work, largely due to W. Simon and the author, on multipole theory of static spacetimes. The main purpose is to make this work, which lies at the interface of potential theory, conformal geometry and general relativity,…
A new application of polytope theory to Lie theory is presented. Exponential sums of convex lattice polytopes are applied to the characters of irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras. The Brion formula is used to write a polytope…
The aim of this work is to use Napoleon's Theorem in different regular polygons, and decide whether we can prove Napoleon's Theorem is only limited with triangles or it could be done in other regular polygons that can create regular…
We derive an explicit sum formula for symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Our expression contains multiple sums over the symmetric group and uses the action of Hecke generators on the ring of polynomials. In the special cases $t=1$ and $q=0$,…
We extend Riemann's rearrangement theorem on conditionally convergent series of real numbers to multiple instead of simple sums.
We demonstrate the validity of previously conjectured explicit expressions for the norm and the evaluation of the Macdonald polynomials in superspace. These expressions, which involve the arm-lengths and leg-lengths of the cells in certain…
In a previous paper (El. J. Combin. 6 (1999), R37), the author generalized Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational polytope, that is, a polytope with rational vertices, we use its…
An overview of the basic results on Macdonald(-Koornwinder) polynomials and double affine Hecke algebras is given. We develop the theory in such a way that it naturally encompasses all known cases. Among the basic properties of the…
