We prove specific biases in the number of occurrences of parts belonging to two different residue classes $a$ and $b$, modulo a fixed non-negative integer $m$, for the sets of unrestricted partitions, partitions into distinct parts, and…
We study an elementary problem of topological robotics: rotation of a line, which is fixed by a revolving joint at a base point: one wants to bring the line from its initial position to a final position by a continuous motion in the space.…
Player ONE chooses a meager set and player TWO, a nowhere dense set per inning. They play $\omega$ many innings. ONE's consecutive choices must form a (weakly) increasing sequence. TWO wins if the union of the chosen nowhere dense sets…
The beta transformation is the iterated map $\beta x\,\mod1$; it generates the base-$\beta$ expansion of a real number x. Every iterated piece-wise monotonic map is topologically conjugate to the beta transformation. For all but a countable…
We investigate the dynamical system generated by the function $\lfloor\lambda x\rfloor$ defined on $\mathbb R$ and with a parameter $\lambda\in \mathbb R$. For each given $m\in \mathbb N$ we show that there exists a region of values of…
We describe combinatorial properties of the defining row of a circulant Hadamard matrix by exploiting its orthogonality to subsequent rows, and show how to exclude several particular forms of these matrices.
We study the collective behavior of clusters of cylinders placed in the wake of a fixed cylinder and free to move in a direction perpendicular to that of the incoming flow, with no structural damping or stiffness. We keep the Reynolds…
Manifolds occur naturally as configuration spaces of robotic systems. They provide global descriptions of local coordinate systems that are common tools in expressing positions of robots. The purpose of this survey is threefold. Firstly, we…
We introduce a topology, which we call the regional topology, on the space of all real functions on a given locally compact metric space. Next we obtain a new versions of Schauder's fixed point theorem and Ascoli's theorem. We use these…
In this paper, the intuitive idea of tilt is formalised into the rigorous concept of tilt rotations. This is motivated by the high relevance that pure tilt rotations have in the analysis of balancing bodies in 3D, and their applicability to…
We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…
We study cocycles of homeomorphisms of $\T$ in the isotopy class of the identity over shift spaces, using as a tool a novel definition of rotation sets inspired in the classical work of Miziurewicz and Zieman. We discuss different notions…
We present a theoretical and numerical framework to compute bifurcations of equilibria and stability of slender elastic rods. The 3D kinematics of the rod is treated in a geometrically exact way by parameterizing the position of the…
We consider a stack sorting algorithm where only the appropriate output values are popped from the stack and then any remaining entries in the stack are run through the stack in reverse order. We identify the basis for the $2$-reverse pass…
Every m by n matrix A with rank r has exactly r independent rows and r independent columns. The fact has become the most fundamental theorem in linear algebra such that we may favor it in an unconscious way. The sole aim of this paper is to…
The paper concerns lattice triangulations, that is, triangulations of the integer points in a polygon in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose vertices are also integer points. Lattice triangulations have been studied extensively both as geometric objects…
We first prove that the set of domino tilings of a fixed finite figure is a distributive lattice, even in the case when the figure has holes. We then give a geometrical interpretation of the order given by this lattice, using (not…
Recent results for rotations expressed as polynomials of spin matrices are derived here by elementary differential equation methods. Structural features of the results are then examined in the framework of biorthogonal systems, to obtain an…
This article presents and compares four approaches for computing the rotation of a point about an axis by an angle in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We illustrate these methods by computing, by hand, the rotation of point $P=(1,0,1)^T$ about axis…
We give an elementary proof of a formula expressing the rotation number of a cyclic unimodular sequence of lattice vectors in terms of arithmetically defined local quantities. The formula has been originally derived by A. Higashitani and M.…
