Motivated by the desire of finding a geometric interpretation to the Yamabe equation on groups of Heisenberg type, we define a geometric structure on manifolds modelled locally on these groups, which we call contact structure of Heisenberg…

An abundance of real-world problems manifest as covering edges and/or vertices of a graph with cliques that are optimized for some objectives. We consider different structural parameters of graph, and design fixed-parameter tractable…

Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…

In this paper we discuss various special problems on packing and covering. Among others we survey the problems and results concerning finite arrangements, Minkowskian, saturated, compact, and totally separable packings. We discuss shortest…
In this work, I collect and discuss a series of open questions in one-dimensional geometric optimization in Euclidean spaces. The focus is on two classes of problems: maximal distance minimizers and Steiner trees. Maximal distance…
