Let $P_{n}$ be a set of $n$ points, including the origin, in the unit square $U = [0,1]^2$. We consider the problem of constructing $n$ axis-parallel and mutually disjoint rectangles inside $U$ such that the bottom-left corner of each…
We prove that in every direction in the Euclidean plane, there exists a line containing no double exponential time random (ee-random) points. This means each point on these lines has an algorithmically predictable location, to the extent…
This article explores the limits of geometric construction using various tools, both classical and modern. Starting with ruler and compass constructions, we examine how adding methods such as origami, marked rulers (neusis), conic sections,…
A set $L$ of straight lines and a set $P$ of points in the Euclidean plane define an arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ = ($L$, $P$) of construction lines and registration marks, if and only if: (1) any point in $P$ is a point of intersection of at…
Using concepts and techniques of bilinear algebra, we construct hyperbolic planes over a euclidean ordered field that satisfy all the Hilbert axioms of incidence, order and congruence for a basic plane geometry, but for which the hyperbolic…
The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of geometry, from a point of view which complements Klein's Erlangen program. The emphasis is on extending the classical Euclidean geometry to the finite case, but it goes beyond that. After…
Exploring selected reductio ad absurdum proofs in Book 1 of the Elements, we show they include figures that are not constructed. It is squarely at odds with Hartshorne's claim that "in Euclid's geometry, only those geometrical figures exist…
We construct a continuum of non-homeomorphic compact subspaces of the real line R without singleton components. Thus from the purely topological point of view the real line contains not only more closed sets than open sets but also more…
The classical theory of plane projective geometry is examined constructively, using both synthetic and analytic methods. The topics include Desargues's Theorem, harmonic conjugates, projectivities, involutions, conics, Pascal's Theorem,…
This paper provides a fixed point theorem and iterative construction of a common fixed point for a general class of nonlinear mappings in the setup of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. We translate a multi-step iteration, essentially due…
We introduce a new method of generating Computer Aided Design (CAD) profiles via a sequence of simple geometric constructions including curve offsetting, rotations and intersections. These sequences start with geometry provided by a…
We say that a metric graph is uniformly bounded if the degrees of all vertices are uniformly bounded and the lengths of edges are pinched between two positive constants; a metric space is approximable by a uniform graph if there is one…
The proper Euclidean geometry is considered to be metric space and described in terms of only metric and finite metric subspaces (sigma-immanent description). Constructing the geometry, one does not use topology and topological properties.…
We formalize and generalize the concept of a topological state-sum construction using the language of tensor networks. We give examples for constructions that are possibly more general than all state-sum constructions in the literature that…
J. Beck has shown that if two players alternately select previously unchosen points from the plane, Player 1 can always build a congruent copy of any given finite goal set G, in spite of Player 2's efforts to stop him. We give a finite goal…
We introduce a large scale analogue of the classical fixed-point property for continuous maps, which shall apply to coarse maps. We also develop a coarse version of degree for coarse maps on Euclidean spaces. Then, applying a coarse…
We investigate the universality of multi-spin systems in architectures of various symmetries of coupling type and topology. Explicit reachability sets under symmetry constraints are provided. Thus for a given (possibly symmetric)…
In this Phd. thesis, a structural analysis of construction schemes is developed. The importance of this study will be justified by constructing several distinct combinatorial objects which have been of great interest in mathematics. We then…
Suppose that $A$ and $B$ are closed subsets of a Euclidean space such that $A\cap B\neq\varnothing$, and we aim to find a point in this intersection with the help of the sequences $(a_n)_\nnn$ and $(b_n)_\nnn$ generated by the \emph{method…
This work introduces a new class of symmetric matrix structures, called harmonic structures, which enable the generation of all possible directed transitions $(x_i, x_{i+1})$ over a set of $n$ symbols, without internal repetitions. Unlike…
