Let $P$ be a collection of $n$ points in the plane, each moving along some straight line at unit speed. We obtain an almost tight upper bound of $O(n^{2+\epsilon})$, for any $\epsilon>0$, on the maximum number of discrete changes that the…

In this study, various rotationally symmetric tilings that can be formed using pentagons that are related to rhombus are discussed. The pentagons can be convex or concave and can be degenerated into a trapezoid. If the pentagons are convex,…

We establish a quantitative version of the isoperimetric inequality for the torsion of multiply connected domains, among sets with given area and with given joint area of the holes. Since the optimal shape is the annulus, we investigate how…

We found convex pentagons whose Heesch number is equal to one, and which admit an edge-to-edge corona. In this manuscript, we present a new classification of these convex pentagons.

We present a simple, two dimensional example of a "cat" -- a body with zero angular momentum that can rotate itself with no external forces. This model is used to explain why this problem is known to be a gauge theory and to illustrate the…

An annulus is, informally, a ring-shaped region, often described by two concentric circles. The maximum-width empty annulus problem asks to find an annulus of a certain shape with the maximum possible width that avoids a given set of $n$…

In this paper, we first prove the optimal lower bound for Alexandrov angle rigidity of torsion elliptic isometries on any complete CAT($\kappa$) space, which, when attained, leads to an embedded 2-flat in the tangent cone invariant under…
