We consider four problems. Rogers proved that for any convex body $K$, we can cover ${\mathbb R}^d$ by translates of $K$ of density very roughly $d\ln d$. First, we extend this result by showing that, if we are given a family of positive…

We show that any $d$-colored set of points in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $n$ subsets with disjoint convex hulls such that the set of points and all color classes are partitioned as evenly as possible. This…

We characterize convex isoperimetric sets in the Heisenberg group endowed with horizontal perimeter. We first prove Sobolev regularity for a certain class of vector fields in the plane with bounded variation, related to the curvature…

The aim of this article is to show the existence, and also give an explicit construction, of infinite sets of orthogonal exponentials for certain families of convex polytopes which include simple-rational polytopes and also non simple…

It is known that the space of convex polygons in the Euclidean plane with fixed normals, up to homotheties and translations, endowed with the area form, is isometric to a hyperbolic polyhedron. In this note we show a class of convex…

We address the unsolved problem of unfolding prismatoids in a new context, viewing a "topless prismatoid" as a convex patch---a polyhedral subset of the surface of a convex polyhedron homeomorphic to a disk. We show that several natural…

We give an overview of the 2023 Computational Geometry Challenge targeting the problem Minimum Coverage by Convex Polygons, which consists of covering a given polygonal region (possibly with holes) by a minimum number of convex subsets, a…

We present linear-time algorithms for both maximum hidden set and minimum convex cover in funnel polygons. These algorithms show that funnel polygons are "homestead" polygons, i.e. polygons for which the hidden set number and the convex…

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

We define and study homotopy groups of cubical sets. To this end, we give four definitions of homotopy groups of a cubical set, prove that they are equivalent, and further that they agree with their topological analogues via the geometric…

Building sets were introduced in the study of wonderful compactifications of hyperplane arrangement complements and were later generalized to finite meet-semilattices. Convex geometries, the duals of antimatroids, offer a robust…

A convex geometry is a closure system satisfying the anti-exchange property. This paper, following the work of K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat (2016) and the Polymath REU 2020 team, continues to investigate representations of convex geometries…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

In this paper, we will answer one of the questions proposed by Bodur, Del~Pia, Dey, Molinaro and Pokutta in 2017. Specifically, we show that the k-aggregation closure of a covering set is a polyhedron. The proof technique is based on an…

A colouring of a hypergraph's vertices is polychromatic if every hyperedge contains at least one vertex of each colour; the polychromatic number is the maximum number of colours in such a colouring. Its dual, the cover-decomposition number,…

The new concept of a system of hex equations is introduced as an overdetermined system of six five-point face-centered quad equations defined on six vertices of a hexagon. For a consistent system of hex equations, two variables on…

Despite the fact that some vertex coloring problems are polynomially solvable on certain graph classes, most of these problems are not "under control" from a polyhedral point of view. The equivalence between \emph{optimization} and…

We introduce a notion of $k$-convexity and explore polygons in the plane that have this property. Polygons which are \mbox{$k$-convex} can be triangulated with fast yet simple algorithms. However, recognizing them in general is a 3SUM-hard…
