An $(n_k)$ configuration is a set of $n$ points and $n$ lines such that each point lies on $k$ lines while each line contains $k$ points. The configuration is geometric, topological, or combinatorial depending on whether lines are…
The present work represents a step to deal with stellar structure using a pure geometric approach. A geometric field theory is used to construct a model for a spherically symmetric configuration. The model obtained can be considered as a…
Dirac and Motzkin conjectured that any set X of $n$ non-collinear points in the plane has an element incident with at least $\lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil$ lines spanned by X. In this paper we prove that any set X of $n$ non-collinear points in…
The problem of construction of the surfaces with given sets of the points with horizontal tangential planes is considered. Such considerations are of interest in the problem of computer simulations of the waved ocean surfaces.
In this paper, we establish a general setup for studying incidence-preserving motions of projective geometric configurations of points and lines via a "projective rigidity matrix". The spaces of infinitesimal motions of a point-line…
Let k be a perfect field and let K/k be a finite extension of fields. An arithmetic noncommutative projective line is a noncommutative space equal to the projectivization of the noncommutative symmetric algebra of a k-central two -sided…
We study graphs coming from quadratic spaces over finite fields via orthogonality which generalize a recent result given by Bishnoi, Ihringer, and Pepe (2019). More precisely, we study the graph $\Gamma^{\square}(n,k,q)$ as follows: the…
Spherical Designs are finite sets of points on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$ with the property that the average of certain (low-degree) polynomials in these points coincides with the global average of the polynomial on $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. They…
Rectangulations are decompositions of a square into finitely many axis-aligned rectangles. We describe realizations of $(n-1)$-dimensional polytopes associated with two combinatorial families of rectangulations composed of $n$ rectangles.…
A linear space is a system of points and lines such that any two distinct points determine a unique line; a Steiner $k$-system (for $k \geq 2$) is a linear space such that each line has size exactly $k$. Clearly, as a two-sorted structure,…
A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…
Given a convex polygon of $n$ sides, one can draw $n$ disks (called side disks) where each disk has a different side of the polygon as diameter and the midpoint of the side as its center. The intersection graph of such disks is the…
A rectangular drawing of a planar graph $G$ is a planar drawing of $G$ in which vertices are mapped to grid points, edges are mapped to horizontal and vertical straight-line segments, and faces are drawn as rectangles. Sometimes this latter…
We characterize the topological configurations of points and lines that may arise when placing n points on a circle and drawing the n perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the corresponding convex cyclic n-gon. We also provide exact and…
A total dominating set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $D \subseteq V$ such that every vertex in $V$ is adjacent to some vertex in $D$. Finding a total dominating set of minimum size is NP-hard on planar graphs and W[2]-complete on general…
An operator generalisation of the notion of geometric phase has been recently proposed purely based on physical grounds. Here we provide a mathematical foundation for its existence, while uncovering new geometrical structures in quantum…
A generic rectangulation is a partition of a rectangle into finitely many interior-disjoint rectangles, such that no four rectangles meet in a point. In this work we present a versatile algorithmic framework for exhaustively generating a…
Three types of geometric structure---grid triangulations, rectangular subdivisions, and orthogonal polyhedra---can each be described combinatorially by a regular labeling: an assignment of colors and orientations to the edges of an…
For each pair $(Q_i,Q_j)$ of reference points and each real number $r$ there is a unique hyperplane $h \perp Q_iQ_j$ such that $d(P,Q_i)^2 - d(P,Q_j)^2 = r$ for points $P$ in $h$. Take $n$ reference points in $d$-space and for each pair…
In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…
