The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the $p$-th Betti number of the \v{C}ech complex of any set of $N$ points in $\mathbb R^d$ and any radius satisfies $\beta_{p} = O(N^{m})$, with $m = \min \{ p+1, \lceil d/2 \rceil…

This paper presents two shortcuts to a classical proof of the $\mathbf{M}_3$-$\mathbf{N}_5$ Theorem, which can be found in B. Davey and H. Priestley [2] and S. Burris and H. Sankappanavar [1]. To be precise, the shortcuts pertain a…

In this paper we develop a theory of convexity for a free Abelian group M (the lattice of integer points), which we call theory of discrete convexity. We characterize those subsets X of the group M that could be call "convex". One property…

The simplest way to generate a lattice of convex sets is to consider an initial set of points and draw segments, triangles, and any convex hull from it, then intersect them to obtain new points, and so forth. The result is an infinite…

A well known result by Lagarias and Ziegler states that there are finitely many equivalence classes of d-dimensional lattice polytopes having volume at most K, for fixed constants d and K. We describe an algorithm for the complete…

We prove a lower bound theorem for the number of $k$-faces ($1\le k\le d-2$) in a $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ (or $d$-polytope) with up to $3d-1$ vertices. Previous lower bound theorems for $d$-polytopes with few vertices concern those…

We prove that every finite family of convex sets in the plane satisfying the $(4,3)$-property can be pierced by $9$ points. This improves the bound of $13$ proved by Gy\'arf\'as, Kleitman, and T\'oth in 2001.

In 1961, P. Erd\H{o}s, A. Ginzburg, and A. Ziv proved a remarkable theorem stating that each set of $2n-1$ integers contains a subset of size $n$, the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$. We will prove a similar result for pairs of…

We prove that any convex body in the plane can be partitioned into $m$ convex parts of equal areas and perimeters for any integer $m\ge 2$; this result was previously known for prime powers $m=p^k$. We also discuss possible…

Fakhruddin has proved that for two lattice polygons P and Q any lattice point in their Minkowski sum can be written as a sum of a lattice point in P and one in Q, provided P is smooth and the normal fan of P is a subdivision of the normal…

We express the number of lattice points inside certain simplices via Dedekind-Rademacher sums. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Kronheimer and Mrowka in the special case of Brieskorn spheres (with at most 4 singular fibers). This…

In 2021, Hibi et. al. studied lattice points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ that appear as $(\depth R/I,\dim R/I)$ when $I$ is the edge ideal of a graph on $n$ vertices, and showed these points lie between two convex polytopes. When restricting to the…

We give a remarkably elementary proof of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. The proof is verifiable for most of the mathematicians.

We prove the existence of two-dimensional good lattice points in thick multiplicative subgroups modulo $p$.

The $k$-tiling problem for a convex polytope $P$ is the problem of covering $\mathbb R^d$ with translates of $P$ using a discrete multiset $\Lambda$ of translation vectors, such that every point in $\mathbb R^d$ is covered exactly $k$…

We consider the combinatorial question of how many convex polygons can be made by using the edges taken from a fixed triangulation of n vertices. For general triangulations, there can be exponentially many: we show a construction that has…

We give a shorter proof of a slightly weaker version of a theorem of Nets Katz and the author. We prove that if a set of $L$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains at most $L^{1/2}$ lines in any low degree algebraic surface, then the number of…

We consider the number of visible lattice points under the assumption of the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. We get a relation between visible lattice points and the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis. And we also get a relation between…

The multi-point Taylor polynomial, which is the general, unique and of minimum degree ($mk+m-1$) polynomial $P_{k,m}(x)$ which interpolates a function's derivatives in multiple points is presented in its explicit form. A proof that this…

A system of plane curves defined by prescribing n points of multiplicity m in general position is regular if n > (2m)^2. The proof uses computation of limits of linear systems acquiring fixed divisors, an interesting problem in itself.
