We present a complete computational classification of the combinatorial types of hyperplane sections, or slices, of the regular cube up to dimension six. For each dimension, we determine the exact number of distinct combinatorial types.…
We consider closed simplicial and cubical $n$-complexes in terms of link of their $(n-2)$-faces. Especially, we consider the case, when this link has size 3 or 4, i.e., every $(n-2)$-face is contained in 3 or 4 $n$-faces. Such simplicial…
We obtain uncountably many periodic solutions to the singular Yamabe problem on a round sphere, that blow up along a great circle. These are (complete) constant scalar curvature metrics on the complement of $S^1$ inside $S^m$, $m\geq 5$,…
This short contribution presents a method for generating $N$-point spherical configurations with low mesh ratios. The method extends Caspar-Klug icosahedral point-grids to non-icosahedral nets through the use of planar barycentric…
Let $n$ points be in crescent configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if they lie in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and determine $n-1$ distinct distances, such that for every $1 \leq i \leq n-1$ there is a distance that occurs exactly $i$…
We present conjectured candidates for the least perimeter partition of a disc into $N \le 10$ regions which take one of two possible areas. We assume that the optimal partition is connected, and therefore enumerate all three-connected…
Square-tiled surfaces can be classified by their number of squares and their cylinder diagrams (also called realizable separatrix diagrams). For the case of $n$ squares and two cone points with angle $4 \pi$ each, we set up and parametrize…
In the present note we study combinatorial and algebraic properties of cubic-line arrangements in the complex projective plane admitting nodes, ordinary triple and $A_{5}$ singular points. We deliver a Hirzebruch-type inequality for such…
Given two elements of a vector space acted on by a reductive group, we ask whether they lie in the same orbit, and if not, whether one lies in the orbit closure of the other. We develop techniques to optimize the orbit and orbit closure…
A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent…
For real irreducible algebraic curves of the seventh degree, there are 22 types of singular points of multiplicity six, 174 types of singular points of multiplicity five, and at least 182 types of singular points of multiplicity four. For…
We obtain congruences for the number a(n) of cubic partitions using modular forms. The notion of cubic partitions is introduced by Chan and named by Kim in connection with Ramanujan's cubic continued fractions. Chan has shown that a(n) has…
A straightforward 3-point quadrature formula of closed type is derived that improves on Simpson's rule. Just using the additional information of the integrand's derivative at the two endpoints we show the error is sixth order in grid…
We present a simple yet powerful and applicable quadrature based scheme for constructing optimal iterative methods. According to the, still unproved, Kung-Traub conjecture an optimal iterative method based on $n+1$ evaluations could achieve…
In this paper we give explicit constructions of point sets in the $s$ dimensional unit cube yielding quasi-Monte Carlo algorithms which achieve the optimal rate of convergence of the worst-case error for numerically integrating high…
We define novel fully combinatorial models of higher categories. Our definitions are based on a connection of higher categories to "directed spaces". Directed spaces are locally modelled on manifold diagrams, which are stratifications of…
We seek discrete approximations to solutions $u:\Omega \to R$ of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations of the form $\Delta u + f_s(u) = 0$, where $f_s$ is a one-parameter family of nonlinear functions and $\Omega$ is a domain…
In this article, we study the complexity involved in the computation of the reach in arbitrary dimension and in particular the computation of the critical spherical curvature points of an arbitrary algebraic variety. We present properties…
In this paper we present a new class of cubature rules with the aim of accurately integrating weakly singular double integrals. In particular we focus on those integrals coming from the discretization of Boundary Integral Equations for 3D…
The cubature on Wiener space method, a high-order weak approximation scheme, is established for SPDEs in the case of unbounded characteristics and unbounded payoffs. We first introduce a recently described flexible functional analytic…
