In this work, we introduce a natural notion concerning finite vector spaces. A family of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, which forms a partial spread, is called almost affinely disjoint if any $(k+1)$-dimensional subspace…
We prove a Roth type theorem for polynomial corners in the finite field setting. Let $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ be two polynomials of distinct degree. For sufficiently large primes $p$, any subset $ A \subset \mathbb F_p \times \mathbb F_p$ with…
Let $G=(S, E)$ be a plane straight-line graph on a finite point set $S\subset\R^2$ in general position. The incident angles of a vertex $p \in S$ of $G$ are the angles between any two edges of $G$ that appear consecutively in the circular…

art, Iosevich, Koh and Rudnev (2007) show, using Fourier analysis method, that the finite Erd\"os-Falconer distance conjecture holds for subsets of the unit sphere in $\mathbbm{F}_q^d$. In this note, we give a graph theoretic proof of this…

Two cubic equations and three auxiliary equations for edges and face diagonals of a rational perfect cuboid have been recently derived. They constitute a background for two inverse problems. The coefficients of cubic equations and the right…
We show that the set of F_q-rational points of either certain Fermat curves or certain F_q-Frobenius non-classical plane curves is a complete (k,d)-arc in P^2(F_q), where k and d are respectively the number of F_q-rational points and the…
Iosevich and Senger (2008) showed that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors. In this note, we provide a graph theoretic proof of…
In this paper we present three different results dealing with the number of $(\leq k)$-facets of a set of points: 1. We give structural properties of sets in the plane that achieve the optimal lower bound $3\binom{k+2}{2}$ of $(\leq…
We study the geometry of spaces of planes on smooth complete intersections of three quadrics, with a view toward rationality questions.
Polytope theory has produced a great number of remarkably simple and complete characterization results for face-number sets or f-vector sets of classes of polytopes. We observe that in most cases these sets can be described as the…
The article proposes a new method for finding the triangle-triangle intersection in 3D space, based on the use of computer graphics algorithms -- cutting off segments on the plane when moving and rotating the beginning of the coordinate…
In the present paper we classify curves and surfaces in Euclidean $3-$space which make constant angle with a certain Killing vector field. Moreover, we characterize the catenoid and Dini's surface in terms of constant angle surfaces.
This work proposes two nodal type nonconforming finite elements over convex quadrilaterals, which are parts of a finite element exact sequence. Both elements are of 12 degrees of freedom (DoFs) with polynomial shape function spaces…
Motivated by applications in robotics and computer vision, we study problems related to spatial reasoning of a 3D environment using sublevel sets of polynomials. These include: tightly containing a cloud of points (e.g., representing an…
We consider the question of determining the maximum number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points that can lie on a hypersurface of a given degree in a weighted projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, or in other words, the…
In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of characteristic $p \geq 5$ and let $d = q+1$. Let $E_d$ denote the elliptic curve over the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}(t)$ defined by the equation $y^2 + xy - t^d y = x^3$. Its rank is $q$…
