If the four triangular facets of a tetrahedron can be partitioned into pairs having the same area, then the triangles in each pair must be congruent to one another. A Heron-style formula is then derived for the volume of a tetrahedron…
We obtain an upper bound to the packing density of regular tetrahedra. The bound is obtained by showing the existence, in any packing of regular tetrahedra, of a set of disjoint spheres centered on tetrahedron edges, so that each sphere is…
This work is an attempt to develop an approximate scheme for estimating the volume-based truncation errors in the finite volume analysis of laminar flows. The volume-based truncation error is the net flow error across the faces of a control…

When approximating a function that depends on a parameter, one encounters many practical examples where linear interpolation or linear approximation with respect to the parameters prove ineffective. This is particularly true for responses…
One approach to parametric and adaptive model reduction is via the interpolation of orthogonal bases, subspaces or positive definite system matrices. In all these cases, the sampled inputs stem from matrix sets that feature a geometric…
We employ a simple and accurate dimensional interpolation formula for the shapes of random walks at $D=3$ and $D=2$ based on the analytically known solutions at both limits $D=\infty$ and $D=1$. The results obtained for the radii of…

We present constraints on violations of Lorentz Invariance based on Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data. LLR measures the Earth-Moon separation by timing the round-trip travel of light between the two bodies, and is currently accurate to a few…
By a direct computation, we show that the $P_2$ interpolation of a $P_3$ function is also a local $H^1$-projection on uniform tetrahedral meshes, i.e., the difference is $H^1$-orthogonal to the $P_2$ Lagrange basis function on the support…
We analyze the effects of rounding errors in the nodes on barycentric interpolation. These errors are particularly relevant for the first barycentric formula with the Chebyshev points of the second kind. Here, we propose a method for…
The concepts of evaluation and interpolation are extended from univariate skew polynomials to multivariate skew polynomials, with coefficients over division rings. Iterated skew polynomial rings are in general not suitable for this purpose.…
