For three points $\vec{u}$,$\vec{v}$ and $\vec{w}$ in the $n$-dimensional space $\F_q^n$ over the finite field $\F_q$ of $q$ elements we give a natural interpretation of an acute angle triangle defined by this points. We obtain an upper…
Nearly orthogonal lattices were formally defined in [4], where their applications to image compression were also discussed. The idea of ``near orthogonality" in $2$-dimensions goes back to the work of Gauss. In this paper, we focus on…
This article suggests the definition of "Lorentzian space" weakening the notion of Lorentzian length spaces just as much that it allows for a functor from the category of strongly causal Lorentzian manifolds to the corresponding category of…
In this article, we introduce a new type of mapping contracting perimeters of triangles in a complete metric space and present related fixed point theorem. We study the metric completeness property of the underlying space in terms of fixed…
Assembling parts into an object is a combinatorial problem that arises in a variety of contexts in the real world and involves numerous applications in science and engineering. Previous related work tackles limited cases with identical unit…
We classify perimeter dominant triangles whose side lengths are in $\sqrt3\mathbb N$ and whose area is in $\frac{\sqrt3}4\mathbb N$. There is one exceptional example, which is equilateral, and three infinite families determined by certain…
We present a multi-phase design parameterization to obtain optimized heterogeneous lattice structures. The 3D domain is discretized into a cubical grid wherein each cube has eight distinct unit cell types or phases. When all phases are…
The purpose of this note is to study configurations of lines in projective planes over arbitrary fields having the maximal number of intersection points where three lines meet. We give precise conditions on ground fields F over which such…
We show that every minimum area isosceles triangle containing a given triangle $T$ shares a side and an angle with $T$. This proves a conjecture of Nandakumar motivated by a computational problem. We use our result to deduce that for every…
We consider the shape optimization problem which consists in placing a given mass $m$ of elastic material in a design region so that the compliance is minimal. Having in mind optimal light structures, our purpose is to show that the problem…
A variant of the flatness problem from integer programming is studied, in which one considers convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with at most $k$ interior lattice points. The maximum lattice width of such a body is denoted by Flt(d,k) and it…
Paul Erd\H{o}s posed the question of whether every measurable planar set of infinite Lebesgue measure contains the four vertices of an isosceles trapezoid of unit area. In this paper, we provide an affirmative answer to this question.…
Lattice coverings in the real plane by Minkowski balls are studied. We exploit the duality of admissible lattices of Minkowski balls and inscribed convex symmetric hexagons of these balls. An explicit moduli space of the areas of these…
Plateau's problem is not a single conjecture or theorem, but rather an abstract framework, encompassing a number of different problems in several related areas of mathematics. In its most general form, Plateau's problem is to find an…
We study the Heilbronn triangle problem, which involves placing n points in the unit square such that the minimum area of any triangle formed by these points is maximized. A straightforward maximin formulation of this problem is highly…
We prove a remarkable combinatorial symmetry in the number of spanning configurations in site percolation: for a large class of lattices, the number of spanning configurations with an odd or even number of occupied sites differs by $\pm 1$.…
We consider random perfect matchings on a general class of contracting bipartite graphs by letting certain edge weights be 0 on the contracting square-hexagon lattice in a periodic way. We obtain a deterministic limit shape in the scaling…
An ideal triangulation of a singular flat surface is a geodesic triangulation such that its vertex set is equal to the set of singular points of the surface. Using the fact that each pair of points in a surface has a finite number of…
We confirm the list from \cite{MSS} of values $D$ for which the high-density hard-core model on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with exceptional distance $D$ has infinitely many extremal Gibbs states. As a byproduct, we prove that for all $D>0$ there exists…
We show that for an integer $\ell$, there exists an acute integer lattice triangle of lattice perimeter $\ell$ such that its orthocenter is an integer lattice point, if and only if $\ell=6 $ or $\ell\ge 8$. Analogous results are obtained…
