We classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent almost equilateral pentagons, in which four edges have the same length. Together with our earlier classifications of edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent equilateral…

The change of conformal moduli of polygonal quadrilaterals under some geometric transformations is studied. We consider the motion of one vertex when the other vertices remain fixed, the rotation of sides, polarization, symmetrization, and…

We show that the topological classification and the smooth classification are generically the same for certain families of plane curves in a semi-local case(the double local case). Especially we give the normal form of transversely jointed…

Compacting orthogonal drawings is a challenging task. Usually algorithms try to compute drawings with small area or edge length while preserving the underlying orthogonal shape. We present a one-dimensional compaction algorithm that alters…

We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…

The geometry of parallelizable manifolds is presented from the standpoint of regarding it as conventional (e.g., Euclidian or Minkowskian) geometry, when it is described with respect to an anholonomic frame field that is defined on the…

A convex polygon is defined as a sequence (V_0,...,V_{n-1}) of points on a plane such that the union of the edges [V_0,V_1],..., [V_{n-2},V_{n-1}], [V_{n-1},V_0] coincides with the boundary of the convex hull of the set of vertices…

The Eynard-Orantin invariants of a plane curve are multilinear differentials on the curve. For a particular class of genus zero plane curves these invariants can be equivalently expressed in terms of simpler expressions given by polynomials…

We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…

An equilateral pentagon is a polygon in the plane with five sides of equal length. In this paper we classify the central configurations of the $5$-body problem having the five bodies at the vertices of an equilateral pentagon with an axis…

We show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are quadrangles and pentagons for each orientable genus $g \geq 0$. We also show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are hexagons…

It is shown that the geometry of parallelizable manifolds can be extended to non-parallelizable ones by extending the connection that a global frame field would define on a parallelizable manifold to a connection that a singular frame field…

For given finite system of convex polygons in the plane which have no transversal, find such homothety transformations of polygons (having fixed centres inside given polygons) with minimal similarity ratio c>1 that the transformed system…

The image and the inverse image of a polyhedron under a linear transformation are polyhedrons.

Differential systems with a Fuchsian linear part are studied in regions including all the singularities in the complex plane of these equations. Such systems are not necessarily analytically equivalent to their linear part (they are not…

Orthogonal surfaces are nice mathematical objects which have interesting connections to various fields, e.g., integer programming, monomial ideals and order dimension. While orthogonal surfaces in one or two dimensions are rather trivial…

A connection between differential geometry and soliton equations is discussed

Discretizing variational principles, as opposed to discretizing differential equations, leads to discrete-time analogues of mechanics, and, systematically, to geometric numerical integrators. The phase space of such variational…

We consider the configuration space of planar $n$-gons with fixed perimeter, which is diffeomorphic to the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^{n-2}$. The oriented area function has the minimal number of critical points on the…

It is shown that every orthogonal terrain, i.e., an orthogonal (right-angled) polyhedron based on a rectangle that meets every vertical line in a segment, has a grid unfolding: its surface may be unfolded to a single non-overlapping piece…
