The Calisson puzzle is a tiling puzzle in which one must tile a triangular grid inside a hexagon with lozenges, under the constraint that certain prescribed edges remain tile boundaries and that adjacent lozenges along these edges have…
This is a collection of open problems in geometry that I think of as puzzles: they stick to my brain -- I see many grips, but no spare hands. Puzzle-charm is the only criterion for including a problem here; importance is ignored.
We present a criterion when six points chosen on the sides of a triangle belong to the same conic. Using this tool we show how the two geometrical gems - celebrated Poncelet's theorem of projective geometry and incredible Morley's theorem…
A mostly expository account of old questions about the relationship between polyhedra and topological manifolds. Topics are old topological results, new gauge theory results (with speculations about next directions), and history of the…
The visibility graph of a simple polygon represents visibility relations between its vertices. Knowing the correct order of the vertices around the boundary of a polygon and its visibility graph, it is an open problem to locate the vertices…
An $s$-workspace algorithm is an algorithm that has read-only access to the values of the input, write-only access to the output, and only uses $O(s)$ additional words of space. We present a randomized $s$-workspace algorithm for…
The main aim of applied geostatistics is to derive `mean' and `variance' of ore to the practicing miner. This paper suggests brand-new approach to the problem.
In this paper we adopt a geometric point of view regarding a famous conjecture due to Littlewood in diophantine approximation of real numbers. Following the spirit of the geometric theory of continued fractions, we give a sufficient…
It's well known that multiple polylogarithms give rise to good unipotent variations of mixed Hodge-Tate structures. In this paper we shall {\em explicitly} determine these structures related to multiple logarithms and some other multiple…
Determining if a point is in a polygon or not is used by a lot of applications in computer graphics, computer games and geoinformatics. Implementing this check is error-prone since there are many special cases to be considered. This holds…
We study the problem of treasure hunt in a Euclidean plane by a mobile agent with the guidance of pebbles. The initial position of the agent and position of the treasure are modeled as special points in the Euclidean plane. The treasure is…
In any periodic direction on the regular pentagon billiard table, there exists two combinatorially different billiard paths, with one longer than the other. For each periodic direction, McMullen asked if one could determine whether the…
We introduce the Primary Gasing Triangle, a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1 unit, to define the primary trigonometric functions: sine and cosine. This triangle serves as the foundational element in a new approach to learning…
We give an optical physicist view of the problem of the trajectories in a polygonal billiard using only basic facts of Optics and the theory of functions of a complex variable. This approach allow us to stablish a certain correspondence…
Straightedge and compass construction problems are one of the oldest and most challenging problems in elementary mathematics. The central challenge, for a human or for a computer program, in solving construction problems is a huge search…
This paper investigates integer multiplication of continued fractions using geometric structures. In particular, this paper shows that integer multiplication of a continued fraction can be represented by replacing one triangulation of an…
We study Ore localisation of differential graded algebras. Further we define dg-prime rings, dg-semiprime rings, and study the dg-nil radical of dg-rings. Then, we define dg-essential submodules, dg-uniform dimension, and apply all this to…
With a bird's-eye view, we survey the landscape of Calabi-Yau threefolds, compact and non-compact, smooth and singular. Emphasis will be placed on the algorithms and databases which have been established over the years, and how they have…
We will present several examples in which ideas from ergodic theory can be useful to study some problems in arithmetic and algebraic geometry.
Geophysics testing has always been the most available and affordable information for large scale mineral exploration. This paper uses the geophysics conditions of recent mines to build a model on ore locations. The model will also provide…
