We introduce series-triangular graph embeddings and show how to partition point sets with them. This result is then used to improve the upper bound on the number of Steiner points needed to obtain compatible triangulations of point sets.…
In this short survey, we describe our approach for constructing hierarchies of Poisson brackets for classical integrable systems using its' spectral curves.
Nested Steiner quadruple systems are designs derived from Steiner quadruple systems (SQSs) by partitioning each block into pairs. A nested SQS is completely uniform if every possible pair appears with equal multiplicity, and completely…
Type IIB string theory admits a BPS configuration in which three strings (of different type) meet at a point. Using this three string configuration we construct a string network and study its properties. In particular we prove supersymmetry…
The $\mathscr{P}$-position sets of some combinatorial games have special combinatorial structures. For example, the $\mathscr{P}$-position set of the hexad game, first investigated by Conway and Ryba, is the block set of the Steiner system…
The purpose of this paper is to study the famous Pappus configuration of $9$ lines and its dual arrangement. We show among others that by applying the Pappus Theorem to the dual arrangement we obtain the configuration corresponding to the…
A combinatorial object representing schemas of, possibly skew, perspectives, called {\em a configuration of skew perspective} is defined. Some classifications of skew perspectives are presented.
A design is said to be $f$-pyramidal when it has an automorphism group which fixes $f$ points and acts sharply transitively on all the others. The problem of establishing the set of values of $v$ for which there exists an $f$-pyramidal…
We prove a conjecture of Crapo and Penne which characterizes isotopy classes of skew configurations with spindle-structure. We use this result in order to define an invariant, spindle-genus, for spindle-configurations. We also slightly…
This paper examines the structure of poset matrices by formulating a set of new construction rules for this purpose. In this direction, the technique of partial composition operation will be introduced as the basis for the construction of…
The focus of this paper is on the study of specific circle formations known as orthogonal Pappus chains and the related incidence results that involve points of tangency between the circles in the construction. These chains give rise to new…
This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
We introduce the concept of a threefold Post correspondence system (3PCS for short) and we consider it as an instance of the threefold Post correspondence problem. With each 3PCS, we associate three Post correspondence systems, i.e., three…
An introduction and overview is given of the theory of spin glasses and its application.
We generalize the concept "well-posed linear system" to stochastic linear control systems and study some basic properties of such kind systems. Under our generalized definition, we show the well-posedness of the stochastic heat equation and…
Using techniques of projective geometry, we give elementary proofs of two theorems concerning Hagge configurations.
Techniques of producing new combinatorial structures from old ones are commonly called trades. The switching principle applies for a broad class of designs: it is a local transformation that modifies two columns of the incidence matrix. In…
We present a concise self-contained inversive geometry solution of the three-circle problem of Steiner of constructing a circle that intersects each of the three given circles at one of the three given angles.
Let $X$ be a $v$-set, $\B$ a set of 3-subsets (triples) of $X$, and $\B^+\cup\B^-$ a partition of $\B$ with $|\B^-|=s$. The pair $(X,\B)$ is called a simple signed Steiner triple system, denoted by ST$(v,s)$, if the number of occurrences of…
In this paper, we introduce notions of (proto-, quasi-)twilled Lie triple systems and give their equivalent descriptions using the controlling algebra and bidegree convention. Then we construct an $L_\infty$-algebra via a twilled Lie triple…
