Given a set of radii measured from a fixed point, the existence of a convex configuration with respect to the set of distinct radii in the two-dimensional case is proved when radii are distinct or repeated at most four points. However, we…
In the recent work [1], authors discussed the relationship between the two of Euler angles assuming that it can be used to describe some effects in the theory of a rigid body. I show that this assumption is not properly justified.
This paper has two goals. The first goal is to show how an extension of second-order logic is a natural framework to formalize portions of Aristotle's \emph{Topics} and to bring to the foreground the logical, linguistic and philosophical…
Standard expositions of Goedel's 1931 paper on undecidable arithmetical propositions are based on two presumptions in Goedel's 1931 interpretation of his own, formal, reasoning - one each in Theorem VI and in Theorem XI - which do not meet…
A convex polyhedron is Rupert if a hole can be cut into it (making its genus $1$) such that an identical copy of the polyhedron can pass through the hole. Resolving a conjecture of Jerrard-Wetzel-Yuan, Steininger and Yurkevich recently…
A series of monte carlo studies were performed to compare the behavior of some alternative procedures for reasoning under uncertainty. The behavior of several Bayesian, linear model and default reasoning procedures were examined in the…
The use of Cauchy's method in proving the well-known Euler formula is an object of many controversies. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the Cauchy's method applies for convex polyhedra and not only for them, but also for surfaces…
In this first part of the paper, we define a natural dual object for manifolds with corners and show how pseudodifferential calculus on such manifolds can be constructed in terms of the localization principle in C*-algebras. In the second…
We prove two results about transforming any convex polyhedron, modeled as a linkage L of its edges. First, if we subdivide each edge of L in half, then L can be continuously flattened into a plane. Second, if L is equilateral and we again…
In this small note we ask several questions which are relevant to the construction of the self-consistent neutrino theory of light. The previous confusions in such attempts are explained in the more detailed publication.
Withdrawn because of non-correctness. Would have implied too much to be true :-|
At a first glance, the problem of illuminating the boundary of a convex body by external light sources and the problem of covering a convex body by its smaller positive homothetic copies appear to be quite different. They are in fact two…
We present a different combinatorial interpretations of Lucas and Gibonacci numbers. Using these interpretations we prove several new identities, and simplify the proofs of several known identities. Some open problems are discussed towards…
We study a non-trivial extreme case of the orchard problem for $12$ pseudolines and we provide a complete classification of pseudoline arrangements having $19$ triple points and $9$ double points. We have also classified those that can be…
We study the relationship between the vertices of an up-monotone polyhedron $R$ and those of the polytope $P$ obtained by truncating $R$ with the unit hypercube. When $R$ has binary vertices, we characterize the vertices of $P$ in terms of…
Given two cubes of equal size, it is possible - against all odds - to bore a hole through one which is large enough to pass the other straight through. This preposterous property of the cube was first noted by Prince Rupert of the Rhine in…
We analyze the topology and geometry of a polyhedron of dimension 2 according to the minimum size of a cover by PL collapsible polyhedra. We provide partial characterizations of the polyhedra of dimension 2 that can be decomposed as the…
We prove a number of basic vanishing results for modified diagonal classes. We also obtain some sharp results for modified diagonals of curves and abelian varieties, and we prove a conjecture of O'Grady about modified diagonals on double…
We introduce a Littlewood-Richardson rule based on an algorithmic deformation of skew Young diagrams and present a bijection with the classical rule. The result is a direct combinatorial interpretation and proof of the geometric rule…
Consider an orthogonal polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron where (at least after a suitable rotation) all faces are perpendicular to a coordinate axis, and hence all edges are parallel to a coordinate axis. Clearly, any facial angle and any…
