Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes in ordinary Euclidean 3-space are finite or infinite 3-periodic structures with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. They can be viewed as finite or infinite 3-periodic…
We geometrically prove that in a d-dimensional cube with edges of length n, the number of particular d-dimensional tetrahedrons are given by Eulerian numbers. These tetrahedrons tassellate the cube, In this way the sum of the cubes are the…
We present a novel method to perform numerical integration over curved polyhedra enclosed by high-order parametric surfaces. Such a polyhedron is first decomposed into a set of triangular and/or rectangular pyramids, whose certain faces…
We formulate the problem of generating dense packings of nonoverlapping, non-tiling polyhedra within an adaptive fundamental cell subject to periodic boundary conditions as an optimization problem, which we call the Adaptive Shrinking Cell…
A spherical topological manifold of dimension n-1 forms a prototile on its cover, the (n-1)-sphere. The tiling is generated by the fixpoint-free action of the group of deck transformations. By a general theorem, this group is isomorphic to…
We consider the incidence structure formed by the twelve pentagons given by the vertex neighborhoods of the icosahedron. Interpreting this structure purely in terms of coplanarity conditions, we show that -- up to projective equivalence --…
A novel meshing scheme, based on regular tetra-kai-decahedron, also referred to as truncated octahedron, cells is presented for use in spatial topology optimization. A tetra-kai-decahedron mesh ensures face connectivity between elements…
We discuss issues relating to the topology of Euclidean de Sitter space. We show that in (2+1) dimensions, the Euclidean continuation of the`causal diamond', i.e the region of spacetime accessible to a timelike observer, is a…
We construct the fcc (face centered cubic), bcc (body centered cubic) and sc (simple cubic) lattices as the root and the weight lattices of the affine Coxeter groups W(D3) and W(B3)=Aut(D3). The rank-3 Coxeter-Weyl groups describing the…
A group theoretical discussion on the hypercubic lattice described by the affine Coxeter-Weyl group Wa(Bn) has been presented. When the lattice is projected onto the Coxeter plane it is noted that the maximal dihedral subgroup Dh of W(Bn)…
We show that for every convex polyhedral sphere $P$ in $S^3$, there exist two canonical, non-edge-to-edge tilings of $S^{2}$ whose tiles are given by all the faces of $P$ and the dual convex polyhedral sphere $P^*$ to $P$. Under the…
It is well-known that the Euclidean plane has a standard 6-regular geodesic triangulation , and the unit sphere has a 5-regular geodesic triangulation, which is induced from the regular Dodecahedron, and the hyperbolic plane has an…
Cone spherical surfaces are orientable Riemannian surfaces with constant curvature one and a finite set of conical singularities. A subset of these surfaces, referred to as dihedral surfaces, is characterized by their monodromy groups,…
In a Type III degeneration of K3-surfaces the dual graph of the central fibre is a triangulation of the 2-sphere. We realise the tetrahedral, octahedral and especially the icosahedral triangulation in families of K3-surfaces, preferably…
Convex hexagons that can tile the plane have been classified into three types. For the generic cases (not necessarily convex) of the three types and two other special cases, we classify tilings of the plane under the assumption that all…
Every body knows that identical regular triangles or squares can tile the whole plane. Many people know that identical regular hexagons can tile the plane properly as well. In fact, even the bees know and use this fact! Is there any other…
The projections of the lattices, may be used as models of quasicrystals, and the particular affine extension of the $H_2$ symmetry as a subgroup of $A_4$, discussed in the work, presents a different perspective to 5-fold symmetric…
A discrete Fourier analysis on the dodecahedron is studied, from which results on a tetrahedron is deduced by invariance. The results include Fourier analysis in trigonometric functions, interpolation and cubature formulas on these domains.…
This note introduces the class of basic $r$-ball polyhedra in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{d}$ for $d>1$ and $r>0$. We investigate their face structure and, for given integers $0\leq i\leq d-1$, $n\geq d+1\geq 3$…
We classify the dihedral edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by regular polygons and quadrilaterals with equal opposite edges (edge configuration xyxy).
