We provide an alternative, simpler proof of the existence of thick triangulations for noncompact $\mathcal{C}^1$ manifolds. Moreover, this proof is simpler than the original one given in \cite{pe}, since it mainly uses tools of elementary…
The main purpose of this paper is to present a kneading theory for two-dimensional triangular maps. This is done by defining a tensor product between the polynomials and matrices corresponding to the one-dimensional basis map and fiber map.…
A variational framework is introduced to describe how a surface bends when it is subject to local constraints on its geometry. This framework is applied to describe the patterns of a folded sheet of paper. The unstretchability of paper…
We study the distribution of the number of permutations with a given periodic up-down sequence w.r.t. the last entry, find exponential generating functions and prove asymptotic formulas for this distribution.
We first show that the tilings of a general domain form a lattice which we then undertake to decompose and generate without any redundance. To this end, we study extensively the relatively simple case of hexagons and their deformations. We…
It is proved that a triangulation of a polyhedron can always be transformed into any other triangulation of the polyhedron by using only elementary moves. One consequence is that an additive function (valuation) defined only on simplices…
We introduce a new family of nonperiodic tilings, based on a substitution rule that generalizes the pinwheel tiling of Conway and Radin. In each tiling the tiles are similar to a single triangular prototile. In a countable number of cases,…
In this article, Temperley's bijection between spanning trees of the square grid on the one hand, and perfect matchings (also known as dimer coverings) of the square grid on the other, is extended to the setting of general planar directed…
We consider the (symmetric) Pascal matrix, in its finite and infinite versions, and prove the existence of symmetric tridiagonal matrices commuting with it by giving explicit expressions for these commuting matrices. This is achieved by…
We propose a new model for pattern formation in peeling of an adhesive tape based on the equation of motion for the displacement of deformed adhesives in the peel front. The spatiotemporal patterns obtained from the model are consistent…
Let $\mathcal{A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n},...)$ be a finite or infinite sequence of $2\times2$ matrices with entries in an integral domain. We show that, except for a very special case, $\mathcal{A}$ is (simultaneously) triangularizable if and only…
We compute the the Balmer spectra of compact objects of tensor triangulated categories whose objects are filtered or graded objects of (or sheaves valued in) another tensor triangulated category. Notable examples include the filtered…
In this paper, we analyze embeddings of grid graphs on orientable surfaces. We determine the genus of a large class of k-dimensional grid graphs and effective two-sided bounds for the genus of any 3-dimensional grid graph, both in terms of…
One way to study an hypergraph is to attach to it a tensor. Tensors are a generalization of matrices, and they are an efficient way to encode information in a compact form. In this paper we study how properties of weighted hypergraphs are…
A triangulation of a polygon is a subdivision of it into triangles, using diagonals between its vertices. Two different triangulations of a polygon can be related by a sequence of flips: a flip replaces a diagonal by the unique other…
In this paper we show the distributions of sliding block patterns for Bernoulli processes with finite alphabet, which is not based on the induction on sample size. We show a new inclusion-exclusion formula in multivariate generating…
The triangulations of a regular convex polygon are enumerated according to the number of diagonals parallel to a fixed edge. The enumeration uses the Shapiro convolution identity, as well as an interpretation of this identity in terms of…
We revisit the problem of enumeration of vertex-tricolored planar random triangulations solved in [Nucl. Phys. B 516 [FS] (1998) 543-587] in the light of recent combinatorial developments relating classical planar graph counting problems to…
We introduce the concept of a \emph{cycle pattern} for directed graphs as functions from the set of cycles to the set $\{-,0,+\}$. The key example for such a pattern is derived from a weight function, giving rise to the sign of the total…
We introduce a bulging triangle like the generalization of the Reuleaux triangle. We may be able to propose various ways to bulge a triangle, but this paper presents the way so that its vertices are the same as them of the original…
