It is well-known to be impossible to trisect an arbitrary angle and duplicate an arbitrary cube by a ruler and a compass. On the other hand, it is known from the ancient times that these constructions can be performed when it is allowed to…
The purpose of this short manuscript is to show that all point constructions that can be done via ruler and compass, can also be done with compass exclusively. If we are using compass and ruler the way we construct new points is by first…
The purpose of this paper is to prove that every finite set of points that can be constructed in the Euclidean plane by using a compass and a ruler can also be constructed by using unitary match-sticks in a non-simultaneous way and…
In this paper we will develop an axiomatic foundation for the geometric study of straight edge, protractor, and compass constructions, which while being related to previous foundations, will be the first to have all axioms written and all…
Euclid's reasoning is essentially constructive. Tarski's elegant and concise first-order theory of Euclidean geometry, on the other hand, is essentially non-constructive, even if we restrict attention (as we do here) to the theory with…
In 1888, Heinrich Schroeter provided a ruler construction for points on cubic curves based on line involutions. Using Chasles' Theorem and the terminology of elliptic curves, we give a simple proof of Schroeter's construction. In addition,…
Exploring selected reductio ad absurdum proofs in Book 1 of the Elements, we show they include figures that are not constructed. It is squarely at odds with Hartshorne's claim that "in Euclid's geometry, only those geometrical figures exist…
We present several ruler and compass practical geometric constructions that can be performed in the lemniscate curve. To be precise, we provide recipes for halving, doubling, adding, subtracting, and transferring lemniscate arcs with ruler…
The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of solutions for semilinear elliptic system driven by fractional Laplacian and establish some new existence results which are obtained by virtue of the local linking theorem and the saddle…
We study combinatorial configurations with the associated point and line graphs being strongly regular. Examples not belonging to known classes such as partial geometries and their generalizations or elliptic semiplanes are constructed.…
A geometric structure (FAP-structure), having both absolute parallelism and Finsler properties, is constructed. The building blocks of this structures are assumed to be functions of position and direction. A non-linear connection emerges…
We investigate the problem of constructing planar drawings with few bends for two related problems, the partially embedded graph problem---to extend a straight-line planar drawing of a subgraph to a planar drawing of the whole graph---and…
The paper is aimed to establish the interdependence between linear expand-contract plasticity of an ellipsoid in a separable Hilbert spaces and properties of the set of its semi-axes.
We study the problem of construction of a triangle from the feet of its internal angle bisectors. It is proved that in general case ruler-and-compass solution of this problem is impossible.
In this Phd. thesis, a structural analysis of construction schemes is developed. The importance of this study will be justified by constructing several distinct combinatorial objects which have been of great interest in mathematics. We then…
A class of elliptic curves with associated Lax matrices is considered. A family of dynamical systems on e(3) parametrized by polynomial a with above Lax matrices are constructed. Five cases from the family are selected by the condition of…
We consider the problem of constructing Poisson brackets on smooth manifolds $M$ with prescribed Casimir functions. If $M$ is of even dimension, we achieve our construction by considering a suitable almost symplectic structure on $M$,…
A Finsler, not necessarily symmetric, metric in the plane or its convex subset is called projective if its geodesics are straight segments. We consider Finsler billiards in a convex planar domain endowed with a projective Finsler metric. A…
In this paper, some special Lorenz cones are constructed using Dikin ellipsoid and some hyperplane. We also study the structure of the constructed cones, especially the eigenvalues structure of the related matrix in the formula of…
In this paper, we present an algorithmic approach to design and construct planar truss structures based on symmetric lattices using modular elements. The method of assembly is similar to Leonardo grids as they both rely on the property of…
