The five (5) families of quadrature rules with periods of one or two intervals for the real line and spline classes $C^0$, $C^1$ are presented. The formulae allow one to calculate the points or weights of these quadrature rules in a very…
We consider the family of dynamical modular curves associated to quadratic polynomial maps and determine precisely which of these curves have infinitely many cubic points. We use this to prove a classification statement on preperiodic…
We study the Carnot theorem and the configuration of points and lines in connection with it. It is proven that certain significant points in the configuration lie on the same lines and same conics. The proof of an equivalent statement…
The Four Vertex Theorem, one of the earliest results in global differential geometry, says that a simple closed curve in the plane, other than a circle, must have at least four "vertices", that is, at least four points where the curvature…
Let C be a simple, closed, directed curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P. We identify several classes of curves C that "live on a cone," in the sense that C and a neighborhood to one side may be isometrically embedded on the…
We show how the Eulcidean algorithm for polynomials can be used to find the intersection points, with multiplicities, of two plane algebraic curves.
We show that any set of $n$ points in general position in the plane determines $n^{1-o(1)}$ pairwise crossing segments. The best previously known lower bound, $\Omega\left(\sqrt n\right)$, was proved more than 25 years ago by Aronov, Erd\H…
We count the number of conics through two general points in complete intersections when this number is finite and give an application in terms of quasi-lines.
Let $P$ be a set of $N$ points in the Euclidean plane, where a positive proportion of points lies off a single straight line. This note points out two facts concerning the number of equivalence classes of triangles that $P$ determines,…
A solution to the problem of topological classification of real cubic fourfolds is presented. It is shown that the real locus of a real non-singular cubic fourfold is obtained from a projective 4-space either by adding several trivial one-…
A cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ is given by the vanishing locus of a cubic form $f$ in $n+1$ variables. It is conjectured that when $n \geq 4$, such cubic hypersurfaces satisfy the Hasse principle. This is…
Main Theorem. Two parabols have four common points. There exists a circle tangent to the sides of the obtained parabolic quadrilateral if and only if the diagonals of this quadrilateral are orthogonal. The proof of the Main Theorem is…
A perfect cuboid (PC) is a rectangular parallelepiped with rational sides $a,b,c$ whose face diagonals $d_{ab}$, $d_{bc}$, $d_{ac}$ and space (body) diagonal $d_s$ are rationals. The existence or otherwise of PC is a problem known since at…
Given a ternary homogeneous polynomial, the fixed points of the map from $\mathbb{P}^2$ to itself defined by its gradient are called its eigenpoints. We focus on cubic polynomials, and analyze configurations of eigenpoints that admit one or…
We propose a conic transformation method to solve the Perspective-Three-Point (P3P) problem. In contrast to the current state-of-the-art solvers, which formulate the P3P problem by intersecting two conics and constructing a degenerate conic…
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…
The real roots of the cubic and quartic polynomials are studied geometrically with the help of their respective Siebeck--Marden--Northshield equilateral triangle and regular tetrahedron. The Vi\`ete trigonometric formulae for the roots of…
In this paper, we analyze the planar cubic Alternative curve to determine the conditions for convex, loops, cusps and inflection points. Thus cubic curve is represented by linear combination of three control points and basis function that…
A cubic surface in $P^3$ is known to contain 27 lines, out of which one can form 36 Schlafli double - sixes i.e., collections $l_1,...,l_6, l'_1,..., l'_6\}$ of 12 lines such that each $l_i$ meets only $l'_j, j\neq i$ and does not meet…
We determine the gonality and the Clifford index for curves on a compact smooth toric surface. Moreover, it is shown that their gonality are computed by pencils on the ambient surface. From the geometrical view point, this means that the…
