In this paper, we deal with the problem of bisecting binomial coefficients. We find many (previously unknown) infinite classes of integers which admit nontrivial bisections, and a class with only trivial bisections. As a byproduct of this…

Let $P\subset\mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a set of $n$ points. In this paper we show two new algorithms, one to compute the number of triangulations of $P$, and one to compute the number of pseudo-triangulations of $P$. We show that our algorithms…

Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…

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…

An MT2 calculation algorithm is described. It is shown to achieve better precision than the fastest and most popular existing bisection-based methods. Most importantly, it is also the first algorithm to be able to reliably calculate…

An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T, overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the "tile". The tile may or may not be similar to ABC. We wish to understand…

Vertex bisection is a graph partitioning problem in which the aim is to find a partition into two equal parts that minimizes the number of vertices in one partition set that have a neighbor in the other set. We are interested in giving…

A tiling is a decomposition of a polygon into finitely many non-overlapping triangles. We prove that if a regular n-gon, $n \geq 5$, $n \neq 28$, can be tiled with similar right triangles, then one of the angles of these triangles is in…

We propose a generalized version of the bisection method where the cutting point between the two subintervals is chosen at random following an arbitrary distribution. We compute expected convergence rates with respect to any arbitrary a…

We give a complete investigation of Morley's trisector theorem. If the intersections of the half lines starting from the adjacent vertices of a triangle form an equilateral triangle for an arbitrary triangle, then the half lines are the…

We suggest a method of solving the problem of existence of a triangle with prescribed two bisectors and one third element which can be taken as one of the angles, the sides, the heights or the medians, or the third bisector.

Two planar sets are circularly separable if there exists a circle enclosing one of the sets and whose open interior disk does not intersect the other set. This paper studies two problems related to circular separability. A linear-time…

This paper studies a class of simple bilevel optimization problems where we minimize a composite convex function at the upper-level subject to a composite convex lower-level problem. Existing methods either provide asymptotic guarantees for…

Let the Euclidean plane be simultaneously and independently endowed with a Poisson point process and a Poisson line process, each of unit intensity. Consider a triangle T whose vertices all belong to the point process. The triangle is…

A triangle decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into triangles. A fractional triangle decomposition of a graph is an assignment of a non-negative weight to each of its triangles such that the sum of the weights of the…

Since its inception, Benders Decomposition (BD) has been successfully applied to a wide range of large-scale mixed-integer (linear) problems. The key element of BD is the derivation of Benders cuts, which are often not unique. In this…

The Brownian triangulation is a random compact subset of the unit disk introduced by Aldous. For $\epsilon>0$, let $N(\epsilon)$ be the number of triangles whose sizes (measured in different ways) are greater than $\epsilon$ in the Brownian…

Given a subset of size $k$ of a very large universe a randomized way to find this subset could consist of deleting half of the universe and then searching the remaining part. With a probability of $2^{-k}$ one will succeed. By probability…

A dissection of a convex d-polytope is a partition of the polytope into d-simplices whose vertices are among the vertices of the polytope. Triangulations are dissections that have the additional property that the set of all its simplices…

A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal area of a small polygon with $n=2m$ vertices is not known when $m\ge 7$. Finding the largest small $n$-gon for a given number $n\ge 3$ can be formulated as a nonconvex quadratically…
