Let $S$ be a set of arbitrary objects, and let $S^d=\{v_1...v_d\colon v_i\in S\}$. A polybox code is a set $V\subset S^d$ with the property that for every two words $v,w\in V$ there is $i\in [d]$ with $v_i'=w_i$, where a permutation…
As the main problem, we consider covering of a $d$-dimensional cube by $n$ balls with reasonably large $d$ (10 or more) and reasonably small $n$, like $n=100$ or $n=1000$. We do not require the full coverage but only 90\% or 95\% coverage.…
Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…
Polypolyhedra are edge-transitive compounds of polyhedra. In this paper we use group theory to determine the number of distinct polypolyhedra whose symmetry group is any given finite irreducible Coxeter group. We apply this result in order…
In the present paper we find a bijection between the set of small covers over an $n$-cube and the set of acyclic digraphs with $n$ labeled nodes. Using this, we give a formula of the number of small covers over an $n$-cube (generally, a…
Using generalized binomial coefficient identities and some results of John Dougall, we derive some families of series involving the cubes of Catalan numbers. We also establish a family of series containing fourth powers of Catalan numbers.…
An orbit of $G$ is a subset $S$ of $V(G)$ such that $\phi(u)=v$ for any two vertices $u,v\in S$, where $\phi$ is an isomorphism of $G$. The orbit number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\text{Orb}(G)$, is the number of orbits of $G$. In [A Note…
This is a first step guide to the theory of cluster algebras. We especially focus on basic notions, techniques, and results concerning seeds, cluster patterns, and cluster algebras.
We show that the number of unit-area triangles determined by a set $S$ of $n$ points in the plane is $O(n^{20/9})$, improving the earlier bound $O(n^{9/4})$ of Apfelbaum and Sharir [Discrete Comput. Geom., 2010]. We also consider two…
In this article we present theoretical and computational results on the existence of polyhedral embeddings of graphs. The emphasis is on cubic graphs. We also describe an efficient algorithm to compute all polyhedral embeddings of a given…
We present a new numerical scheme to study systems of non-convex, irregular, and punctured particles in an efficient manner. We employ this method to analyze regular packings of odd-shaped bodies, not only from a nanoparticle but also both…
We count tilings of the $n \times m$ rectangular grid, cylinder, and torus with arbitrary tile sets up to arbitrary symmetries of the square and rectangle, along with cyclic shifting of rows and columns. This provides a unifying framework…
In this article, we present a unified algebraic-combinatorial framework for computing explicit, piecewise rational, and combinatorially indexed parametric formulas for volumes and higher moments of slices and slabs of polyhedral norm balls.…
An $n$ arc in $(k-1)$-dimensional projective space is a set of $n$ points so that no $k$ lie on a hyperplane. In 1988, Glynn gave a formula to count $n$-arcs in the projective plane in terms of simpler combinatorial objects called…
Some geometry on non-singular cubic curves, mainly over finite fields, is surveyed. Such a curve has 9,3,1 or 0 points of inflexion, and cubic curves are classified accordingly. The group structure and the possible numbers of rational…
We show that in any subset of the vertices of $n$-dimensional cube that contains at least $2^{n-1}+1$ vertices ($n\geq 4$), there are four vertices that induce a claw, or there are eight vertices that induce the cycle of length eight.
We provide the currently fastest randomized (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the closest vector problem in the infinity norm. The running time of our method depends on the dimension n and the approximation guarantee epsilon by 2^O(n)…
It is known that commutators of commutators can be written as products of cubes, with the current upper bound on the number of cubes being 60. We discuss how proofs extracted via coset enumeration can be used to investigate this problem,…
The search of solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = k$ for $k<1000$ has been extended with bounds of $|x|$, $|y|$ and $|z|$ up to $10^{15}$. The first solution for $k=74$ is reported. This only leaves $k=33$ and $k=42$…
A cube is an 8-rep-tile: it is the union of eight smaller copies of itself. Is there a set with a hole which has this property? The computer found an interesting and complicated solution, which then could be simplified. We discuss some…
