In this paper we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. We pay special attention to fixed point sets of type-preserving isometries of spherical buildings. This sets are also convex subcomplexes of the natural polyhedral structure…

Spherical $t$-designs on $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ provide $N$ nodes for an equal weight numerical integration rule which is exact for all spherical polynomials of degree at most $t$. This paper considers the generation of…

We will show that for any $n\ge N$ points on the $N$-dimensional sphere $S^N$ there is a closed hemisphere which contains at least $\lfloor\frac{n+N+1}{2}\rfloor$ of these points. This bound is sharp and we will calculate the amount of sets…

Spherical $t$-designs are finite point sets on the unit sphere that enable exact integration of polynomials of degree at most $t$ via equal-weight quadrature. This concept has recently been extended to spherical $t$-design curves by the use…

We define the infinite dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R^infinity, and prove that this space has the 'fixed point property': any continuous function from the space into itself has a…

We show how the variational characterisation of spherical designs can be used to take a union of spherical designs to obtain a spherical design of higher order (degree, precision, exactness) with a small number of points. The examples that…

We investigate spherical 4-distance 7-designs by studying their distance distributions. We compute these distance distributions and use their product (an integer) to derive certain divisibility conditions relating the dimension $n$ and the…

This paper deals with a kind of design of a ruled surface. It combines concepts from the fields of computer aided geometric design and kinematics. A dual unit spherical B\'ezier-like curve on the dual unit sphere (DUS) is obtained with…

A balanced configuration of points on the sphere $S^2$ is a (finite) set of points which are in equilibrium if they act on each other according any force law dependent only on the distance between two points. The configuration is…

One of the conclusions of Browder (1960) is a parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, stating that for every continuous function $f : ([0,1] \times X) \to X$, where $X$ is a simplex in a Euclidean space, the set of fixed points…
