We construct a dense packing of regular tetrahedra, with packing density $D > >.7786157$.
The densest local packings of N identical nonoverlapping spheres within a radius Rmin(N) of a fixed central sphere of the same size are obtained using a nonlinear programming method operating in conjunction with a stochastic search of…
Molecular simulations of the self-assembly of cone-shaped particles with specific, attractive interactions are performed. Upon cooling from random initial conditions, we find that the cones self assemble into clusters and that clusters…
The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent polygons, where all edges are straight, have been completely classified. We classify the curvilinear version of the similar triangular tilings, where the edges may not be straight, and…
We completely classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals. As part of the classification, we also present a modern version of the classification of edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles.…
Transversal structures (also known as regular edge labelings) are combinatorial structures defined over 4-connected plane triangulations with quadrangular outer-face. They have been intensively studied and used for many applications…
In this paper we study the tensor category structure of the module category of the restricted quantum enveloping algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. Indecomposable decomposition of all tensor products of modules over this algebra is…
We show that for every convex polyhedral sphere $P$ in $S^3$, there exist two canonical, non-edge-to-edge tilings of $S^{2}$ whose tiles are given by all the faces of $P$ and the dual convex polyhedral sphere $P^*$ to $P$. Under the…
This is the fifth in a series of papers giving a proof of the Kepler conjecture, which asserts that the density of a packing of congruent spheres in three dimensions is never greater than $\pi/\sqrt{18}\approx 0.74048...$. This is the…
It is well established that a general pair of twisted cubic curves in complex projective space has ten common secant lines. As an initial investigation, we show that the monodromy group of the ten common secant lines over the complex…
Hexahedral (hex) meshing is a long studied topic in geometry processing with many fascinating and challenging associated problems. Hex meshes vary in complexity from structured to unstructured depending on application or domain of interest.…
The separation of two sets (or more specific of two cones) plays an important role in different fields of mathematics such as variational analysis, convex analysis, convex geometry, optimization. In the paper, we derive some new results for…
We consider packings of congruent circles on a square flat torus, i.e., periodic (w.r.t. a square lattice) planar circle packings, with the maximal circle radius. This problem is interesting due to a practical reason - the problem of "super…
A Sierpi\'nski packing in the $2$-sphere is a countable collection of disjoint, non-separating continua with diameters shrinking to zero. We show that any Sierpi\'nski packing by continua whose diameters are square-summable can be…
Any space-filling packing of spheres can be cut by a plane to obtain a space-filling packing of disks. Here, we deal with space-filling packings generated using inversive geometry leading to exactly self-similar fractal packings. First, we…
Every simple quadrangulation of the sphere is generated by a graph called a pseudo-double wheel with two local expansions (Brinkmann et al. "Generation of simple quadrangulations of the sphere." Discrete Math., Vol. 305, No. 1-3, pp. 33-54,…
There are fifteen edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons with the edge combination $a^3b^2$: five one-parameter families of pentagonal subdivision tilings, and ten flip modifications of three special cases of two…
A topological interlocking assembly consists of rigid blocks together with a fixed frame, such that any subset of blocks is kinematically constrained and therefore cannot be removed from the assembly. In this paper we pursue a modular…
A new family of decagonal quasiperiodic tilings are constructed by the use of generalized point substitution processes, which is a new substitution formalism developed by the author [N. Fujita, Acta Cryst. A 65, 342 (2009)]. These tilings…
We classify the dihedral edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by regular polygons with gonality at least 5 and rhombi.
