We show that a finitely generated group of analytic diffeomorphisms that is expanding and locally discrete in the analytic category is analytically conjugate to a uniform lattice of a finite covering of the group of projective maps of the…
Apollonian circle packings arise by repeatedly filling the interstices between mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. It is possible for every circle in such a packing to have integer radius of curvature, and we call such a…
This paper is concerning to the geometric study of fixed points of a self-mapping on a metric space. We establish new generalized contractive conditions which ensure that a self-mapping has a fixed disc or a fixed circle. We introduce the…
This article investigates the subject of rigid compact complex manifolds. First of all we investigate the different notions of rigidity (local rigidity, global rigidity, infinitesimal rigidity, etale rigidity and strong rigidity) and the…
An arrangement of pseudocircles is a finite set of oriented closed Jordan curves each two of which cross each other in exactly two points. To describe the combinatorial structure of arrangements on closed orientable surfaces, in (Linhart,…
The present work aims to exploit the interplay between the algebraic properties of rings and the graph-theoretic structures of their associated graphs. We introduce commutatively closed graphs and investigate properties of commutatively…
We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…
In this paper we provide a framework for the study of isoperimetric problems in finitely generated group, through a combinatorial study of universal covers of compact simplicial complexes. We show that, when estimating filling functions,…
This paper presents an efficient approach for the conceptual design of architectural surfaces which are composed of triangular panels. In the free-form design of discrete architectural surfaces, the Gaussian curvature plays an important…
We define strict confluent drawing, a form of confluent drawing in which the existence of an edge is indicated by the presence of a smooth path through a system of arcs and junctions (without crossings), and in which such a path, if it…
The notion of a completely saturated packing [Fejes Toth, Kuperberg and Kuperberg, Highly saturated packings and reduced coverings, Monats. Math. 125 (1998) 127-145] is a sharper version of maximum density, and the analogous notion of a…
The structure and stresses of static granular packs in cylindrical containers are studied using large-scale discrete element molecular dynamics simulations in three dimensions. We generate packings by both pouring and sedimentation and…
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{76}, 031202 (2007)], Schmidt has proposed a Fundamental Measure Density Functional Theory for one-dimensional nonadditive hard-rod fluid mixtures and has compared its predictions for the bulk…
Drinfeld's relative compactification plays a basic role in the theory of automorphic sheaves, and its singularities encode representation-theoretic information in the form of intersection cohomology. We introduce a resolution of…
We introduce a new class of fractal circle packings in the plane, generalizing the polyhedral packings defined by Kontorovich and Nakamura. The existence and uniqueness of these packings are guaranteed by infinite versions of the…
We consider packings of the plane using discs of radius 1 and r. A packing is compact if every disc D is tangent to a sequence of discs D_1, D_2, ..., D_n such that D_i is tangent to D_{i+1}. We prove that there are only nine values of r…
A packing of disks in the plane is a set of disks with disjoint interiors. This paper is a survey of some open questions about such packings. It is organized into five themes: compacity, conjugacy, density, uniformity and computability.
A complex-analytic structure within the unit disk of the complex plane is presented. It can be used to represent and analyze a large class of real functions. It is shown that any integrable real function can be obtained by means of the…
Although tensor product real-valued wavelets have been successfully applied to many high-dimensional problems, they can only capture well edge singularities along the coordinate axis directions. As an alternative and improvement of tensor…
The interaction between discrete and continuous mathematics lies at the heart of many fundamental problems in applied mathematics and computational sciences. In this paper we discuss the problem of discretizing vector-valued functions…
