We give necessary and sufficient criteria for a smooth Enriques surface S in P^r to be scheme-theoretically an intersection of quadrics. Moreover we prove in many cases that, when S contains plane cubic curves, the intersection of the…
Every complex plane curve C determines a subscheme S of the $P^8$ of 3x3 matrices, whose projective normal cone (PNC) captures subtle invariants of C. In "Limits of PGL(3)-translates of plane curves, I" we obtain a set-theoretic description…
This paper addresses a very classical topic that goes back at least to Pl\"ucker: how to understand a plane curve singularity using its polar curves. Here, we explicitly construct the singular points of a plane curve singularity directly…
We provide a unified approach that encompasses some integral formulas for functions of the visual angle of a compact convex set due to Crofton, Hurwitz and Masotti. The basic tool is an integral formula that also allows us to integrate new…
We present angle-uniform parallel coordinates, a data-independent technique that deforms the image plane of parallel coordinates so that the angles of linear relationships between two variables are linearly mapped along the horizontal axis…
We present a fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm to find a shortest curve that encloses a set of k required objects in the plane while paying a penalty for enclosing unwanted objects. The input is a set of interior-disjoint simple…
We present a framework for constructing examples of smooth projective curves over number fields with explicitly given elements in their second K-group using elementary algebraic geometry. This leads to new examples for hyperelliptic curves…
Two lattice points are visible to one another if there exist no other lattice points on the line segment connecting them. In this paper we study convex lattice polygons that contain a lattice point such that all other lattice points in the…
Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Here a weaker result is obtained: there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…
We give a relationship that yields an effective geometric way of evaluating mean curvature of surfaces. The approach is reminiscent of the Gauss's contour based evaluation of intrinsic curvature. The presented formula may have a number of…
We consider smooth surfaces $S \subset \Pq$ containing a plane curve $P$ and prove some general result concerning the linear system $|H-P|$. We then look at regular surfaces lying on hypersurfaces of degree $s$ having a plane of…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane, and let $X_{k,\ell}(S)$ be the number of convex $k$-gons with vertices in $S$ that have exactly $\ell$ points of $S$ in their interior. We prove several equalities for the…
In this article we provide another method for obtaining explicit formulas yielding counts of secant planes to a projective curve. We formulate the problem in terms of Segre classes of suitable bundles over the symmetric product of the curve…
We present an approach of computing the intersection curve $\mathcal{C}$ of two rational parametric surface $\S_1(u,s)$ and $\S_2(v,t)$, one being projectable and hence can easily be implicitized. Plugging the parametric surface to the…
We study the following range searching problem: Preprocess a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane with respect to a set $\mathcal{O}$ of $k$ orientations % , for a constant, in the plane so that given an $\mathcal{O}$-oriented convex polygon…
Let $M$ be a K\"ahler manifold with complex structure $J$ and K\"ahler metric $g$. A c-projective vector field is a vector field on $M$ whose flow sends $J$-planar curves to $J$-planar curves, where $J$-planar curves are analogs of what…
Closed form solutions for the computation of the solid angle from polygonal cross-sections are well known, however similar formulae for computation of projected solid angle are not generally available. Formulae for computing the projected…
We study points of moderately low degree on a curve $C$ over a number field, which is embedded on a nice toric surface $S$. Recently, Smith and Vogt related the linear equivalence classes of such points to intersections of $C$ with curves…
We present a new method for visualizing implicit real algebraic curves inside a bounding box in the $2$-D or $3$-D ambient space based on numerical continuation and critical point methods. The underlying techniques work also for tracing…
