This chapter deals with the exact enumeration of certain classes of self-avoiding polygons and polyominoes on the square lattice. We present three general approaches that apply to many classes of polyominoes. The common principle to all of…
In this paper, we consider a set of similar triangles with parallel sides, along with a set of points in the plane. It turns out that the set $\mathbb{R}_2= \{\pm <x >=\pm (x^2,x,1); x\in\mathbb{R} \}$ describes this set of triangles quite…
Noticing that all of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries treatments of trigonometry surveyed in this article are conceptually or logically defective, it is required to seek a conceptually sound and logically correct foundations of the…
In this article we consider a method of proving a class of inequalities of the form (1). The method is based on the precise approximations of the sine and cosine functions by Maclaurin polynomials of given order. By using this method we…
We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…
As science and engineering have become increasingly data-driven, the role of optimization has expanded to touch almost every stage of the data analysis pipeline, from signal and data acquisition to modeling and prediction. The optimization…
In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…
The purpose of this note is to give an accessible proof of Moliens Theorem in Invariant Theory, in the language of today's Linear Algebra and Group Theory, in order to prevent this beautiful theorem from being forgotten.
This is an expository article that results from a talk given to second year students at Oldenburg university. The aim of the talk was to show what beautiful and unexpected results may be obtained if one plays with daring analogies in a way…
The Hilbert metric is a distance function defined for points lying within the interior of a convex body. It arises in the analysis and processing of convex bodies, machine learning, and quantum information theory. In this paper, we show how…
We use the idea of the broken stick problem (which goes back to Poincare) and calculate the corresponding probabilities for the cases in which the three broken part are: the medians in a triangle, the altitudes, radii of excircles, angle…
We construct Frobenius structures on the $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$-bundle of the complement of a toric arrangement associated with a root system, by making use of a one-parameter family of torsion free and flat connections on it. This gives…
A theorem which is named after the American Mathematician Moris Marden states a very surprising and interesting fact concerning the relationship between the points of a triangle in the complex plane and the zeros of two complex polynomials…
A reformulation of the three circles theorem of Johnson with distance coordinates to the vertices of a triangle is explicitly represented in a polynomial system and solved by symbolic computation. A similar polynomial system in distance…
In general dimension, there is no known total polynomial algorithm for either convex hull or vertex enumeration, i.e. an algorithm whose complexity depends polynomially on the input and output sizes. It is thus important to identify…
We elaborate on some important ideas contained in Lobachevsky's Pangeometry and in some of his other memoirs. The ideas include the following: (1) The trigonometric formulae, which express the dependence between angles and edges of…
Trigonometry is the study of circular functions, which are functions defined on the unit circle $x^2+y^2 =1$, where distances are measured using the Euclidean norm. When distances are measured using the $L_p$-norm, we get generalized…
Our earlier publications showed semantic tableau admits partial exceptions to the Second Incompleteness Theorem where a formalism recognizes its self consistency and views multiplication as a 3-way relation (rather than as a total…
This book is addressed to students, professors and researchers of geometry, who will find herein many interesting and original results. The originality of the book The Geometry of Homological Triangles consists in using the homology of…
We provide an algorithm for computing the number of integral points lying in certain triangles that do not have integral vertices. We use techniques from Algebraic Geometry such as the Riemann-Roch formula for weighted projective planes and…
