In the paper we prove generalization of Schl\"omilch's and Zetel's theorems about concurrent lines in a triangle. This generalization is obtained as a corollary of sharp geometric inequality about the ratio of triangular areas which is…
Pick's astonishing theorem explains how to obtain the area of any integer polygon by counting lattice points. It is a notoriously difficult challenge to translate the geometric statement and intuitive reasoning into a formal statement and…
We prove that any convex body in the plane can be partitioned into $m$ convex parts of equal areas and perimeters for any integer $m\ge 2$; this result was previously known for prime powers $m=p^k$. We also discuss possible…
In 1991 Tratnik derived two systems of multivariable orthogonal Wilson polynomials and considered their limit cases. q-Analogues of these systems are derived, yielding systems of multivariable orthogonal Askey-Wilson polynomials and their…
We consider polygons with the following ``pairing property'': for each edge of the polygon there is precisely one other edge parallel to it. We study the problem of when such a polygon $K$ tiles the plane multiply when translated at the…
For the given regular plane polygon and an arbitrary point in the plane of the polygon, the distances from the point to the vertices of the polygon are defined. We proved that there is one more non-congruent regular polygon having the…
We examine a class of geometric theorems on cyclic 2n-gons. We prove that if we take n disjoint pairs of sides, each pair separated by an even number of polygon sides, then there is a linear combination of the angles between those sides…
To any combinatorial triangulation $T$ of a square, there is an associated polynomial relation $p_T$ among the areas of the triangles of $T$. With the goal of understanding this polynomial, we consider polynomials obtained from $p_T$ by…
In this paper we consider arbitrary hexagons on the triangular lattice with three arbitrary bowtie-shaped holes, whose centers form an equilateral triangle. The number of lozenge tilings of such general regions is not expected --- and…
Generalizing work of Athanasiadis for the Birkhoff polytope and Reiner and Welker for order polytopes, in 2007 Bruns and R\"omer proved that any Gorenstein lattice polytope with a regular unimodular triangulation admits a regular unimodular…
This paper proves an elementary topological fact about closed curves on surfaces, namely that by carefully smoothing an intersection point, one can reduce self-intersection by exactly $1$. This immediately implies a positive answer to a…
A detailed combinatorial analysis of planar convex lattice polygonal lines is presented. This makes it possible to answer an open question of Vershik regarding the existence of a limit shape when the number of vertices is constrained.
We give three new proofs of the triangle inequality in Euclidean Geometry. There seems to be only one known proof at the moment. It is due to properties of triangles, but our proofs are due to circles or ellipses. We aim to prove the…
We give some natural sufficient conditions for balls in a metric space to have small intersection. Roughly speaking, this happens when the metric space is (i) expanding and (ii) well-spread, and (iii) a certain random variable on the…
This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…
Given $n$ non-vertical lines in 3-space, their vertical depth (above/below) relation can contain cycles. We show that the lines can be cut into $O(n^{3/2}\mathop{\mathrm{polylog}} n)$ pieces, such that the depth relation among these pieces…
Ghomi proved that every convex polyhedron could be stretched via an affine transformation so that it has an edge-unfolding to a net [Gho14]. A net is a simple planar polygon; in particular, it does not self-overlap. One can view his result…
Let $X$ be a three dimensional real Banach space. Ben\'itez and Otero \cite {BeO} showed that if the unit ball of $X$ is is an intersection of two ellipsoids, then every 2-polynomial defined in a linear subspace of $X$ can be extended to…
In this paper, we prove that the Banach contraction principle proved by S. G. Matthews in 1994 on 0--complete partial metric spaces can be extended to cyclical mappings. However, the generalized contraction principle proved by D. Ili\'{c},…
Consider an arrangement of $k$ lines intersecting the unit square. There is some minimum scaling factor so that any placement of a rectangle with aspect ratio $1 \times p$ with $p\geq 1$ must non-transversely intersect some portion of the…
