We introduce Magic Gems, a geometric representation of magic squares as three-dimensional polyhedra. By mapping an n times n magic square onto a centered coordinate grid with cell values as vertical displacements, we construct a point cloud…
In this paper, we give a characterization of unicyclic graphs with diameter at most 4 which are A-vertex magic. Moreover, let G be a bicyclic graph of diameter 3, then G is group vertex magic if and only if G = M11(0, 0).
A "hidden symmetry" of a Riemannian manifold M is an isometry of a d-sheeted, 1<d<\infty, Riemannian cover of M which is not the lift of any isometry. In this paper we characterize the locally symmetric metric(s) on a closed, arithmetic…
A bijective mapping $f: V(G) \rightarrow \left\{1,2,\ldots,n\right\}$ is called a \emph{Distance Magic Labeling (DML) of $G$} if ~ ${\sum_{v \in N(u)}} f(v) $ is a constant for all $u\in V(G)$ where $G$ is a simple graph of order $n$ and…
A graph of order $n$ is distance magic if it admits a bijective labeling of its vertices with integers from $1$ to $n$ such that each vertex has the same sum of the labels of its neighbors. This paper contributes to the long term project of…
How many odd numbers are there? How many even numbers? From Galileo to Cantor, the suggestion was that there are the same number of odd, even and natural numbers, because all three sets can be mapped in one-one fashion to each other. This…
Permutation matrices play an important role in understand the structure of magic squares. In this work, we use a class of symmetric permutation matrices than can be used to categorize magic squares. Many magic squares with a high degree of…
By making use of arithmetic information inequalities, we give a strong quantitative bound for the discretised ring theorem. In particular, we show that if $A \subset [1,2]$ is a $(\delta,\sigma)$-set, with $|A| = \delta^{-\sigma},$ then…
A notion of "radially monotone" cut paths is introduced as an effective choice for finding a non-overlapping edge-unfolding of a convex polyhedron. These paths have the property that the two sides of the cut avoid overlap locally as the cut…
This paper deals with nonsmooth convex optimization problems in Euclidean spaces. We identify special elements of the subdifferential of a convex function, called specular gradients. Based on this observation, we propose three numerical…
We provide two algorithms for computing the volume of a convex polytope with half-space representation {x>=0; Ax <=b} for some (m,n) matrix A and some m-vector b. Both algorithms have a O(n^m) computational complexity which makes them…
An integer $n$ is called practical if every $m\le n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. We show that the number of practical numbers below $x$ is asymptotic to $c x/\log x$, as conjectured by Margenstern. We also give an…
Consider an operator that takes the Fourier transform of a discrete measure supported in $\mathcal{X}\subset[-\frac 12,\frac 12)^d$ and restricts it to a compact $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide lower bounds for its smallest singular…
We apply Freeman's variant of the Davenport-Heilbronn method to investigate the exceptional set of real numbers not close to some value of a given real diagonal form at an integral argument. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the…
We consider the question of which nonconvex sets can be represented exactly as the feasible sets of mixed-integer convex optimization problems. We state the first complete characterization for the case when the number of possible integer…
Given a nonempty set $A \subset \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}$, define the mask polynomial $A(X)=\sum_{a\in A} X^a$. Suppose that there are $s_1,\dots,s_k\in\nn\setminus\{1\}$ such that the cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_{s_1},\dots,\Phi_{s_k}$ divide…
We study the representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$ in positive characteristic $p$. Using features of the LLT-algorithm we give a conjectural description of the projective cover $P(\lambda)$ of the simple module $D(\lambda)$…
Short and transparent proofs of central limit theorems for intrinsic volumes of random polytopes in smooth convex bodies are presented. They combine different tools such as estimates for floating bodies with Stein's method from probability…
It is known that, if $\Omega$ $\subset$ C is a convex set containing the numerical range of an operator A, then $\Omega$ is a C $\Omega$ -spectral set for A with C $\Omega$ $\le$ 1+ $\sqrt$ 2. We improve this estimate in unbounded cases.
In this short paper we have produced different kinds of upside down magic squares based on a palindromic day 11.02.2011. In this day appear only the algorisms 0, 1 and 2. Some of the magic squares are bimagic and some are palindromic. Magic…
