In this work we are interested in the central configurations of the spatial seven-body problem where six of them are at vertices of two congruents equilateral triangles belong to parallel planes and one triangle is a rotation by the angle…
A new coordinate system is defined for the Four-Body dynamical problem with general masses, having as its origin of coordinates the center of mass. The transformation from the inertial coordinate system involves a combination of a rotation…
This paper is to serve as a key to the projective (homogeneous) model developed by Charles Gunn (arXiv:1101.4542 [math.MG]). The goal is to explain the underlying concepts in a simple language and give plenty of examples. It is targeted to…
We trace the development of arguments for the consistency of non-Euclidean geometries and for the independence of the parallel postulate, showing how the arguments become more rigorous as a formal conception of geometry is introduced. We…
We give a relationship that yields an effective geometric way of evaluating mean curvature of surfaces. The approach is reminiscent of the Gauss's contour based evaluation of intrinsic curvature. The presented formula may have a number of…
We revisit the geometric theory of defects. In the differential-geometric models of defects that have been adopted since the 1950s, dislocations have been associated with torsion, disclinations with the full curvature, and point defects…
We obtain new upper and lower bounds on the number of unit perimeter triangles spanned by points in the plane. We also establish improved bounds in the special case where the point set is a section of the integer grid.
Euclidean geometry consists of straightedge-and-compass constructions and reasoning about the results of those constructions. We show that Euclidean geometry can be developed using only intuitionistic logic. We consider three versions of…
In this paper we present a way to define a set of orthocenters for a triangle in the n-dimensional space R^{n} and we will see some analogies of these orthocenters with the classic orthocenter of a triangle in the Euclidean plane.
This paper presents the classification of a general quadric into an axisymmetric quadric (AQ) and the solution to the problem of the proximity of a given point to an AQ. The problem of proximity in $R^3$ is reduced to the same in $R^2$,…
A pedagogical but concise overview of Riemannian geometry is provided, in the context of usage in physics. The emphasis is on defining and visualizing concepts and relationships between them, as well as listing common confusions,…
This paper first gives a brief overview over some interesting descriptions of conic sections, showing formulations in the three geometric algebras of Euclidean spaces, projective spaces, and the conformal model of Euclidean space. Second…
Omar Khayyam's treatment of cubic equations by intersections of conic sections has often been read as an anticipation of analytic or coordinate geometry. This paper argues that such a reading obscures the conceptual structure of Khayyam's…
It is well known that the three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent at the so-called orthocenter of the triangle. So one might expect that the altitudes of a tetrahedron also meet at a point. However, it was already pointed out in 1827…
In one of the three 2010/2011 issues of the journal 'MathematicalSpectrum', this author gave a three-parameter description of the entire set of integral triangles(i.e. triangles with integer side lengths)and with a 120 degree angle.This…
The spherical centroid body of a centrally-symmetric convex body in the Euclidean unit sphere is introduced. Two alternative definitions - one geometric, the other probabilistic in nature - are given and shown to lead to the same objects.…
When matching parts of a surface to its whole, a fundamental question arises: Which points should be included in the matching process? The issue is intensified when using isometry to measure similarity, as it requires the validation of…
How to obtain the desirable representation of a 3D shape, which is discriminative across categories and polymerized within classes, is a significant challenge in 3D shape retrieval. Most existing 3D shape retrieval methods focus on…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
Euler's inequality is a well known inequality relating the inradius and circumradius of a triangle. In Euclidean geometry, this inequality takes the form $R \geq 2r$ where $R$ is the circumradius and $r$ is the inradius. In spherical…
