We derive new algebraic equations for the folding angle relationships in completely general degree-four rigid-foldable origami vertices, including both Euclidean (developable) and non-Euclidean cases. These equations in turn lead to novel,…
Trisecting an angle has been proved to be impossible by Euclidean Geometry, using only straight edge and compass. However, there is a method using Origami (paper folding) procedure to trisect an angle. The algebraic analysis of the same…
Origami is the archetype of a structural material with unusual mechanical properties that arise almost exclusively from the geometry of its constituent folds and forms the basis for mechanical metamaterials with an extreme deformation…
It is well known that the usual Huzita-Hatori axioms for origami enable angle trisection but not angle quintisection. Using the concept of a multifold, Lang has achieved quintisection but not arbitrary algebraic numbers. We define the…
Haga's fold in paper folding is generalized. Recent generalization of Haga's theorems and problems in Wasan geometry involving Haga's fold are also generalized.
The field of rigid origami concerns the folding of stiff, inelastic plates of material along crease lines that act like hinges and form a straight-line planar graph, called the crease pattern of the origami. Crease pattern vertices in the…
The following article summarizes research where theorems and their respective demonstrations are postulated based on quadratic equations with special properties given by the Pythagorean triplets and the Fibonacci sequence given the second…
Pythagoras' theorem, the area of a triangle as one half the base times the height, and Heron's formula are amongst the most important and useful results of ancient Greek geometry. Here we look at all three in a new and improved light, using…
We give the hypergeometric solutions of some algebraic equations including the general fifth degree equation.
Historically, there have been many attempts to produce an appropriate mathematical formalism for modeling the nature of physical space, such as Euclid's geometry, Descartes' system of Cartesian coordinates, the Argand plane, Hamilton's…
In Euclidean geometry, the Pythagorean theorem is presented as an equation involving three squares. This paper explores how analogous expressions may be identified in spherical and hyperbolic geometries.
By employing certain extended classical summation theorems, several surprising \pi and other formulae are displayed.
Geometry is essentially a global language, which is fully understood in different times, countries and cultures. The proof of a geometric theorem (e.g. the Pythagorean Theorem) or a geometric construction (e.g. the construction of an…
In the making of origami, one starts with a piece of paper, and through a series of folds along seed points one constructs complicated three-dimensional shapes. Mathematically, one can think of the complex numbers as representing the piece…
We show that main results of rational trigonometry (as developed by NJ Wildberger, "Divine Proportions", 2005) can be succinctly expressed using projective geometric algebra (PGA). In fact, the PGA representation exhibits distinct…
We apply geometric tools to study dynamics of two- and threepeakon solutions of the Camassa--Holm equation. New proofs of asymptotic behavior of the solutions are given. In particular we recover well-known collision conditions. Additionally…
Let $(L, \alpha)$ be a Hom-Lie-Yamaguti superalgebra. We first introduce the representation and cohomology theory of Hom-Lie-Yamaguti superalgebras. Furthermore, we introduce the notions of generalized derivations and representations of…
Motivated by a question in origami, we consider sets of points in the complex plane constructed in the following way. Let $L_\alpha(p)$ be the line in the complex plane through $p$ with angle $\alpha$ (with respect to the real axis). Given…
Higgs algebras are used to construct rotational Hamiltonians. The correspondence between the spectrum of a triaxial rotor and the spectrum of a cubic Higgs algebra is demonstrated. It is shown that a suitable choice of the parameters of the…
We derive the Cardano formula of cubic equations by completing the cube, and provide radical solutions to some algebraic equations of higher degree by completing powers. The main idea of completing powers arises from Harrison's center…
