A digraph $H$ is called ubiquitous if every digraph that contains arbitrarily many vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ also contains infinitely many vertex-disjoint copies of $H$. We study oriented double rays, that is, digraphs $H$ whose…
A simplex is said to be orthocentric if its altitudes intersect in a common point, called its orthocenter. In this paper it is proved that if any two of the traditional centers of an orthocentric simplex (in any dimension) coincide, then…
According to Euler's relation any polytope P has as many faces of even dimension as it has faces of odd dimension. As a generalization of this fact one can compare the number of faces whose dimension is congruent to i modulo m with the…
A polyhedral map is called $\{p, q\}$-equivelar if each face has $p$ edges and each vertex belongs to $q$ faces. In 1983, it was shown that there exist infinitely many geometrically realizable $\{p, q\}$-equivelar polyhedral maps if $q > p…
It is known that we can always 3-triangulate (i.e. divide into tetrahedra) convex polyhedra but not always non-convex ones. Polyhedra topologically equivalent to sphere with $p$ handles, shortly $p$-toroids, could not be convex. So, it is…
By a poly-line drawing of a graph G on n vertices we understand a drawing of G in the plane such that each edge is represented by a polygonal arc joining its two respective vertices. We call a turning point of a polygonal arc the bend. We…
Cone spherical surfaces are orientable Riemannian surfaces with constant curvature one and a finite set of conical singularities. A subset of these surfaces, referred to as dihedral surfaces, is characterized by their monodromy groups,…
We present a relation between convergence of multiple and single orthogonal series. This relation implies a complete characterization of all multiple sequences $(a_{n_1...n_d})_{n_1,...,n_d\in\bb N}$ such that for all orthonormal…
In 1958, S. \'Swierczkowski proved that there cannot be a closed loop of congruent interior-disjoint regular tetrahedra that meet face-to-face. Such closed loops do exist for the other four regular polyhedra. It has been conjectured that,…
We show that every orthogonal polyhedron homeomorphic to a sphere can be unfolded without overlap while using only polynomially many (orthogonal) cuts. By contrast, the best previous such result used exponentially many cuts. More precisely,…
Tridiagonal matrices with constant main diagonal and reciprocal pairs of off-diagonal entries are considered. Conditions for such matrices with sizes up to 6-by-6 to have elliptical numerical ranges are obtained.
A polyhedron is box-integer if its intersection with any integer box $\{\ell\leq x \leq u\}$ is integer. We define principally box-integer polyhedra to be the polyhedra $P$ such that $kP$ is box-integer whenever $kP$ is integer. We…
When the number of non-triangular faces adjacent to a vertex $v$ is less than or equal to three, the vertex $v$ will be called (\emph{combinatorially}) \emph{rigid}. We study the number of rigid vertices and suggest a conjecture on a…
A flipturn is an operation that transforms a nonconvex simple polygon into another simple polygon, by rotating a concavity 180 degrees around the midpoint of its bounding convex hull edge. Joss and Shannon proved in 1973 that a sequence of…
Abstract polytopes generalize the face lattice of convex polytopes. A polytope is semiregular if its facets are regular and its automorphism group acts transitively on its vertices. In this paper we construct semiregular, facet-transitive…
This paper investigates the rigidity of bordered polyhedral surfaces. Using the variational principle, we show that bordered polyhedral surfaces are determined by boundary value and discrete curvatures on the interior edges. As a corollary,…
Ghomi proved that every convex polyhedron could be stretched via an affine transformation so that it has an edge-unfolding to a net [Gho14]. A net is a simple planar polygon; in particular, it does not self-overlap. One can view his result…
An equiangular hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedron is a hyperbolic polyhedron where all dihedral angles are equal to \pi/n for some fixed integer n at least 2. It is a consequence of Andreev's theorem that either n=3 and the polyhedron has all…
For any finite set $\A$ of $n$ points in $\R^2$, we define a $(3n-3)$-dimensional simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of ``non-crossing marked graphs'' with vertex set $\A$, where a marked graph is defined as a…
We classify the dihedral edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by squares and rhombi.
