Let $P$ be a polygonal curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of length $n$, and $S$ be a point-set of size $k$. The Curve/Point Set Matching problem consists of finding a polygonal curve $Q$ on $S$ such that the Fr\'echet distance from $P$ is less than a…

We search for faces of the convex set consisting of all separable states, which are affinely isomorphic to simplices, to get separable states with unique decompositions. In the two-qutrit case, we found that six product vectors spanning a…

J. J. Sylvester's four-point problem asks for the probability that four points chosen uniformly at random in the plane have a triangle as their convex hull. Using a combinatorial classification of points in the plane due to Goodman and…

It is well-known that every isosceles tetrahedron (disphenoid) admits infinitely many simple closed geodesics on its surface. They can be naturally enumerated by pairs of co-prime integers $n > m > 1$ with two additional cases $(1,0)$ and…

The Meeting problem for $k\geq 2$ searchers in a polygon $P$ (possibly with holes) consists in making the searchers move within $P$, according to a distributed algorithm, in such a way that at least two of them eventually come to see each…

This paper investigates several classical and novel variations of the Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres problem, including multicolored point sets, convex hexagons with a given number of interior points, and polygons with constraints on edge colors. We…

Call {\em i-hedrite} any 4-valent n-vertex plane graph, whose faces are 2-, 3- and 4-gons only and $p_2+p_3=i$. The edges of an i-hedrite, as of any Eulerian plane graph, are partitioned by its {\em central circuits}, i.e. those, which are…

We show that for any large $n$, there exists a set of $n$ points in the plane with $O(n^2/\sqrt{\log n})$ distinct distances, such that any four points in the set determine at least five distinct distances. This answers (in the negative) a…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical and hyperbolic planes.…

In the paper we prove that the number of graphs inscribed into graph of a convex polyhedron and circumscribed around another graph does not exceed 4. For this we first studied Poncelet type problem about the number of convex $n$-gons…

By a polygonization of a finite point set $S$ in the plane we understand a simple polygon having $S$ as the set of its vertices. Let $B$ and $R$ be sets of blue and red points, respectively, in the plane such that $B\cup R$ is in general…

In the article, a series of neigbourly polyhedra is constructed. They have $N=2d+4$ vertices and are embedded in $\mathbb R^{2d}$. Their (affine) Gale diagrams in $\mathbb R^2$ have $d+3$ black points that form a convex polygon. These Gale…

We show that any point in the convex hull of each of (d+1) sets of (d+1) points in R^d is contained in at least floor((d+2)^2/4) simplices with one vertex from each set.

In 1935, Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres proved that every set of $n$ points in general position in the plane contains the vertices of a convex polygon of $\frac{1}{2}\log_2(n)$ vertices. In 1961, they constructed, for every positive integer $t$, a…

In this paper, we consider saturation problems related to the celebrated Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres convex polygon problem. For each $n \ge 7$, we construct a planar point set of size $(7/8) \cdot 2^{n-2}$ which is saturated for convex $n$-gons.…

We consider colored variants of a class of geometric-combinatorial questions on $k$-gons and empty $k$-gons that have been started around 1935 by Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres. In our setting we have $n$ points in general position in the plane,…

The convergence of the projection algorithm for solving the convex feasibility problem for a family of closed convex sets, is in connection with the regularity properties of the family. In the paper [18] are pointed out four cases of such a…

A set-system $S\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is cube-ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential…

We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…

We prove that a rational pseudointegral triangle with exactly one lattice point in its interior has at most $9$ lattice points on its boundary, where a polygon $P$ is called pseudointegral if the Ehrhart function of $P$ is a polynomial. We…
