Richard Guy asked the following question: can we find a triangle with rational sides, medians, and area? Such a triangle is called a \emph{perfect triangle} and no example has been found to date. It is widely believed that such a triangle…
Barnette and Edelson have shown that there are finitely many minimal triangulations of a connected compact 2-manifold M. Similar finiteness results are obtained for cellular partial triangulations that satisfy various girth inequality…
Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying…
The cevian triangle corresponding to an interior point $M$ of a triangle is the triangle determined by the feet of the three cevians concurrent at $M$. It is known that the area of the cevian triangle for an interior point $M$ of a triangle…
An ideal triangulation of a singular flat surface is a geodesic triangulation such that its vertex set is equal to the set of singular points of the surface. Using the fact that each pair of points in a surface has a finite number of…
This paper deals with the accomplishment of total area coverage of an arbitrary region using sensors with a finite sensing radius of rs. For a given region, we aim to obtain a deterministic placement of sensors which, apart from ensuring…
Given a triangulation of a closed topological cube, we show that (under some technical condition) there is an essentially unique tiling of a rectangular parallelepiped by cubes, indexed by the vertices of the triangulation. Moreover, i -…
We improve the status of the problem of determining minimum-sized percolating sets in $a \times b \times c$ grids under the $3$-neighbour process. Using several new constructions, we show that optimal percolating sets exist whenever…
A completely well-centered tetrahedral mesh is a triangulation of a three dimensional domain in which every tetrahedron and every triangle contains its circumcenter in its interior. Such meshes have applications in scientific computing and…
We consider the problem of summarizing a multi set of elements in $\{1, 2, \ldots , n\}$ under the constraint that no element appears more than $\ell$ times. The goal is then to answer \emph{rank} queries --- given $i\in\{1, 2, \ldots ,…
In this paper we consider the problem of finding pairs of triangles whose sides are perfect squares of integers, and which have a common perimeter and common area. We find two such pairs of triangles, and prove that there exist infinitely…
We study the problem of partitioning a polygon into the minimum number of subpolygons using cuts in predetermined directions such that each resulting subpolygon satisfies a given width constraint. A polygon satisfies the unit-width…
R. Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise incongruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Recently a negative answer was given by Kupavskii, Pach and Tardos. Still one may ask for weaker versions of the…
In this work we study subdivisions of $k$-rotationally symmetric planar convex bodies that minimize the maximum relative diameter functional. For some particular subdivisions called $k$-partitions, consisting of $k$ curves meeting in an…
The notion of the angle between two subspaces has a long history, dating back to Friedrichs's work in 1937 and Dixmier's work on the minimal angle in 1949. In 2006, Deutsch and Hundal studied extensions to convex sets in order to analyze…
In this paper we survey with complete proofs some well--known, but hard to find, results about constructing closed embedded minimal surfaces in a closed 3-dimensional manifold via min--max arguments. This includes results of J. Pitts, F.…
In 1964 A. Bruckner observed that any bounded open set in the plane has an inscribed triangle, that is a triangle contained in the open set and with the vertices lying on the boundary. We prove that this triangle can be taken uniformly fat,…
We consider problems that can be formulated as a task of finding an optimal triangulation of a graph w.r.t. some notion of optimality. We present algorithms parameterized by the size of a minimum edge clique cover ($cc$) to such problems.…
Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn studied the maximum number of points in the plane that span $k$ distances and classified these configurations, as an inverse problem of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. We consider the analogous problem for…
We study the open, closed, and non-degenerate embedding dimensions of neural codes, which are the smallest respective dimensions in which one can find a realization of a code consisting of convex sets that are open, closed, or…
