We generalize the notions of flippable and simultaneously flippable edges in a triangulation of a set S of points in the plane to so-called \emph{pseudo-simultaneously flippable edges}. Such edges are related to the notion of convex…

We construct $n$-vertex graphs $G$ where $\epsilon n^2$ edges must be deleted to become triangle-free, which contain less than $\epsilon^{(C_{\text{new}}-o(1))\log_2 1/\epsilon}n^3$ triangles for $C_{\text{new}}= \frac{1}{4\log_2(4/3)}…

The main contribution of this paper is a new column-by-column method for the decomposition of generating functions of convex polyominoes suitable for enumeration with respect to various statistics including but not limited to interior…

We prove that, for sufficiently large $n$, every graph of order $n$ with minimum degree at least $0.852n$ has a fractional edge-decomposition into triangles. We do this by refining a method used by Dross to establish a bound of $0.9n$. By a…

We prove that every simply connected orthogonal polygon of $n$ vertices can be partitioned into $\left\lfloor\frac{3 n +4}{16}\right\rfloor$ (simply connected) orthogonal polygons of at most 8 vertices. It yields a new and shorter proof of…

We prove a theorem on the relationships between the lengths of sides of a spherical quadrilateral with three right angles. They are analogous to the relationships in the Lambert quadrilateral in the hyperbolic plane. We apply this theorem…

We give some new advances in the research of the maximum number of triangles that we may obtain in a simple arrangements of n lines or pseudo-lines.

In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os proved that if $\mathcal{H}$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which contains no triangulation of the sphere, then $\mathcal{H}$ has at most $O(n^{5/2})$ edges, and this bound is the best possible…

Each triangle has three exterior or external circles tangential to the three straight lines containing the three sides of the triangle.Among the preliminaries in this paper, is deriving formulas for the radii of the three exterior circles…

Let $\F$ be a family of $n$ pairwise intersecting circles in the plane. We show that the number of lenses, that is convex digons, in the arrangement induced by $\F$ is at most $2n-2$. This bound is tight. Furthermore, if no two circles in…

We show that there exist convex $n$-gons $P$ and $Q$ such that the largest convex polygon in the Minkowski sum $P+Q$ has size $\Theta(n\log n)$. This matches an upper bound of Tiwary.

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…

We say that a triangle $T$ tiles a polygon $A$, if $A$ can be dissected into finitely many nonoverlapping triangles similar to $T$. We show that if $N>42$, then there are at most three nonsimilar triangles $T$ such that the angles of $T$…

We show that the number of unit-area triangles determined by a set of $n$ points in the plane is $O(n^{9/4+\epsilon})$, for any $\epsilon>0$, improving the recent bound $O(n^{44/19})$ of Dumitrescu et al.

We study the problem of finding maximum-area rectangles contained in a polygon in the plane. There has been a fair amount of work for this problem when the rectangles have to be axis-aligned or when the polygon is convex. We consider this…

We consider a hyperbolic polygon in the unit disk $\{z:\, |z|<1\}$ with all its vertices on the unit circle $\{z:\, |z|=1\}$ and a growth process of such polygons when each $n$-gon generates an $n(n-1)$-gon by inverting itself across all of…

Given a triangle $\Delta$, we study the problem of determining the smallest enclosing and largest embedded isosceles triangles of $\Delta$ with respect to area and perimeter. This problem was initially posed by Nandakumar and was first…

Counting the types of squares rather than their occurrences, we consider the problem of bounding the number of distinct squares in a string. Fraenkel and Simpson showed in 1998 that a string of length n contains at most 2n distinct squares.…

We consider the planar two-center problem for a convex polygon: given a convex polygon in the plane, find two congruent disks of minimum radius whose union contains the polygon. We present an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm for the two-center…

Motivated by a result of [1] which states that if F is a subgraph of a convex complete graph K_n and F contains no boundary edge of K_n and |E(F)| \leq n-3, then K_n - F admits a triangulation, we determine necessary and sufficient…
