In this paper we present many congruences for several Ap\'ery-like sequences.
We prove that every unit area convex pentagon is contained in a convex quadrilateral of area no greater than $3/\sqrt{5}$, and that every unit area convex hexagon is contained in a convex pentagon of area no greater than $7/6$. Both results…
We construct a polygonal spiral by arranging a sequence of regular $n$-gons such that each $n$-gon shares a specified side and vertex with the $(n+1)$-gon in the construction. By offering flexibility for determining the size of each $n$-gon…
It is known that any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ is almost regular. On the other words, any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ represents every sufficiently large integer which is locally represented. In this article, we study the…
An n-gon is defined as a sequence \P=(V_0,...,V_{n-1}) of n points on the plane. An n-gon \P is said to be convex if the boundary of the convex hull of the set {V_0,...,V_{n-1}} of the vertices of \P coincides with the union of the edges…
In this paper we present many results and conjectures on congruences involving two types of Ap\'ery-like sequences $\{G_n(x)\}$ and $\{V_n(x)\}$.
This is a study of the construction of particular regular sub-n-gons T in regular n-gons P using a special system of chords of P. In particular, some of these sub-n-gons have areas which are integer divisors of the area of the given n-gon…
Counting interior-disjoint empty convex polygons in a point set is a typical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres-type problem. We study this problem for 4-gons. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane and in general position. A subset $Q$ of $P$, with…
This paper contains a description of a connection between the matching arrangement and the matching polyhedron. A bijection between regions of the matching arragement and LP-orientations of the matching polyhedron is constructed. This…
It is known that any $m$-gonal form of $\rank n \ge 5$ is almost regular. In this article, we study the sufficiently large integers which are represented by (almost regular) $m$-gonal forms of $\rank n \ge 6$.
An ear in a triangulation $T$ of a convex $n$-gon $P$ is a triangle of $T$ that shares two sides with $P$ itself. Certain enumerational and structural problems become easier when one considers only triangulations with few ears. We…
Algebraic and analytic aspects of self-adjoint operators of order four or more with polynomial coefficients are investigated. As a consequence, a systematic way of constructing such operators is given. The procedure is applied to obtain…
The existence is proved of two new families of locally Cohen-Macaulay sextic threefolds in $\mathbb{P}^5$, which are not quadratically normal. These threefolds arise naturally in the realm of first order congruences of lines as focal loci…
We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…
We study the integer sequence v_n of numbers of lines in hypersurfaces of degree 2n-3 of P^n, n>1. We prove a number of congruence properties of these numbers of several different types. Furthermore, the asymptotics of the v_n are described…
We give a complete classification of all nonuniform congruences on orthogonal rook monoids and symplectic rook monoids. We find that there are four kinds of nonuniform congruences on the orthogonal rook monoids ${OR}_n$ for even $n\ne 4$,…
A quotient of a poset $P$ is a partial order obtained on the equivalence classes of an equivalence relation $\theta$ on $P$; $\theta$ is then called a congruence if it satisfies certain conditions, which vary according to different…
We obtain new recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and convolution identities for higher order geometric polynomials. These relations generalize known results for geometric polynomials, and lead to congruences for higher order…
We consider the construction of a polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices whose turning angles at the vertices are given by a sequence $A=(\alpha_0,\ldots, \alpha_{n-1})$, $\alpha_i\in (-\pi,\pi)$, for $i\in\{0,\ldots, n-1\}$. The problem of…
An arrangement of circles in which circles intersect only in angles of $\pi/2$ is called an \emph{arrangement of orthogonal circles}. We show that in the case that no two circles are nested, the intersection graph of such an arrangement is…
