We study the well-known problem of combinatorial classification of fullerenes. By a (mathematical) fullerene we mean a convex simple three dimensional polytope with all facets pentagons and hexagons. We analyse approaches of construction of…
Fullerenes are hollow carbon molecules where each atom is connected to exactly three other atoms, arranged in pentagonal and hexagonal rings. Mathematically, they can be combinatorially modeled as planar, 3-regular graphs with facets…
A $(3, 6)$-fullerene is a cubic planar graph whose faces all have 3 or 6 sides. We give an exact enumeration of $(3, 6)$-fullerenes with $V$ vertices. We also enumerate $(3, 6)$-fullerenes with mirror symmetry, with 3-fold rotational…
We explore some generalizations of fullerenes F_v (simple polyhedra with v vertices and only 5- and 6-gonal faces) seen as (d-1)-dimensional simple manifolds (preferably, spherical or polytopal) with only 5- and 6-gonal 2-faces. First,…
It is conjectured that every fullerene graph is hamiltonian. Jendrol' and Owens proved [J. Math. Chem. 18 (1995), pp. 83--90] that every fullerene graph on n vertices has a cycle of length at least 4n/5. In this paper, we improve this bound…
We describe a new construction algorithm for the recursive generation of all non-isomorphic IPR fullerenes. Unlike previous algorithms, the new algorithm stays entirely within the class of IPR fullerenes, that is: every IPR fullerene is…
This article defines a pair of combinatorial operations on the combinatorial structure of compact right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra in dimension three called decomposition and edge surgery. It is shown that these operations simplify the…
We obtain the formulae for the numbers of 4-matchings and 5-matchings in terms of the number of hexagonal faces in (4, 6)-fullerene graphs by studying structural classification of 6-cycles and some local structural properties, which correct…
The author makes use of infinite compositions and a limiting function to construct a $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ tetration function $\mathcal{F}(t) = e \tet t$. As a tetration function, $\mathcal{F}$ satisfies $e^{\mathcal{F}(t)} =…
Fullerenes are an allotrope of carbon having hollow, cage-like structure. Atoms in the molecule are arranged in pentagonal and hexagonal rings, such that each atom is connected to three other atoms. Simple polyhedra having only pentagonal…
Generalized permutahedra are the polytopes obtained from the permutahedron by changing the edge lengths while preserving the edge directions, possibly identifying vertices along the way. We introduce a "lifting" construction for these…
We re-address the problem of construction of new infinite-dimensional completely integrable systems on the basis of known ones, and we reveal a working mechanism for such transitions. By splitting the problem's solution in two steps, we…
We describe the calculation of integrated subtraction terms in the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme for hadron collider processes with quarks and gluons, thereby extending the results presented in Ref.$~$[1]. Although this extension…
The shiftable Heffter arrays are naturally generalized to the shiftable Heffter spaces. We present a recursive construction which starting from a single shiftable Heffter space leads to infinitely many other shiftable Heffter spaces of the…
A discrete Fourier analysis on the dodecahedron is studied, from which results on a tetrahedron is deduced by invariance. The results include Fourier analysis in trigonometric functions, interpolation and cubature formulas on these domains.…
We show that several classes of polyhedra are joined by a sequence of O(1) refolding steps, where each refolding step unfolds the current polyhedron (allowing cuts anywhere on the surface and allowing overlap) and folds that unfolding into…
We use mathematical induction to prove that the horizontal composition in the class of coherently diagonal complexes is indeed a binary operation. That is to say, the embedding of two coherently diagonal complexes in an alternating planar…
We present a versatile construction allowing one to obtain pairs of integer sets with infinite symmetric difference, infinite intersection, and identical representation functions.
A fullerene graph is a planar cubic 3-connected graph with only pentagonal and hexagonal faces. We show that fullerene graphs have exponentially many perfect matchings.
A simple cut-and-patch method is presented for the construction and classification for fullerenes belonging to the octahedral point groups, $O$ or $O_h$. In order to satisfy the symmetry requirement of the octahedral group, suitable numbers…
