Let $k$ be a number field and $B$ be a central simple algebra over $k$ of dimension $p^2$ where $p$ is prime. In the case that $p=2$ we assume that $B$ is not totally definite. In this paper we study sets of pairwise nonisomorphic maximal…
It is well-known that lens maps are convex mappings defined in the unit disc to itself. In this brief note, we show that these mappings are convex of order $\alpha>0$, and starlike of order $\beta>0$, and establish the precise orders in…
We characterise the respective semigroups of mappings that preserve, or that preserve or reverse orientation of a finite cycle, in terms of their actions on oriented triples and oriented quadruples. This leads to a proof that the latter…
The paper studies 'good arrangements' (transversality properties) of collections of sets in a normed vector space near a given point in their intersection. We target primal (metric and slope) characterizations of transversality properties…
A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…
We propose a notion of a generalized order, which can be used for the notion of a strict partial order. We introduce a weak order to replace the usual weak order defined from a strict partial order. In a constructive setting, that usual…
A given order type in the plane can be represented by a point set. However, it might be difficult to recognize the orientations of some point triples. Recently, Aichholzer \etal \cite{abh19} introduced exit graphs for visualizing order…
This is a preliminary note on a family of minimal surfaces in the 3-sphere defined by a compatible fourth order equation. The minimal surfaces are geometrically characterized either by having a surface of revolution like induced metric, or…
The Pareto dominance relation of a preference profile is (the asymmetric part of) a partial order. For any integer n, the problem of the existence of an n-agent preference profile that generates the given Pareto dominance relation is to…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$. We show that if $|R| < \frac{3}{2}n$ and $P…
We give a constructive characterization of matrices satisfying the reverse-order law for the Moore--Penrose pseudoinverse. In particular, for a given matrix $A$ we construct another matrix $B$, of arbitrary compatible size and chosen rank,…
We introduce a natural partial order on the set Cones(d) of rational cones in R^d. The poset NPol(d-1) of normal polytopes in R^{d-1} embeds into Cones(d) via the homogenization map. The order in Cones(d) is conjecturally the inclusion…
A unified construction of high order shape functions is given for all four classical energy spaces ($H^1$, $H(\mathrm{curl})$, $H(\mathrm{div})$ and $L^2$) and for elements of "all" shapes (segment, quadrilateral, triangle, hexahedron,…
Let $X$ be a finite set. A family $P$ of subsets of $X$ is called a convex geometry with ground set $X$ if (1) $\emptyset, X\in P$; (2) $A\cap B\in P$ whenever $A,B\in P$; and (3) if $A\in P$ and $A\neq X$, there is an element $\alpha\in…
A corner in a map is an edge-vertex-edge triple consisting of two distinct edges incident to the same vertex. A corneration is a set of corners that covers every arc of the map exactly once. Cornerations in a dart-transitive map generalize…
Ortho-Radial drawings are a generalization of orthogonal drawings to grids that are formed by concentric circles and straight-line spokes emanating from the circles' center. Such drawings have applications in schematic graph layouts, e.g.,…
The class of $\left(\binom{n+1}{2}_{n-1} \binom{n+1}{3}_3\right)$-configurations which contain at least $n-2$ $K_n$-graphs coincides with the class of so called systems of triangle perspectives i.e. of configurations which contain a bundle…
It is well known that every compact oriented 3-manifold admits an ideal triangulation, and that any two such triangulations with at least two ideal tetrahedra are related by a sequence of Pachner $2$-$3$ moves. Motivated by constructions in…
Octupolar order is described in two space dimensions in terms of the maxima (and conjugated minima) of the probability density associated with a third-rank, fully symmetric and traceless tensor. Such a representation is shown to be…
A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is {\it $t$-intersecting} if the cardinality of the intersection of every pair of sets in $\mathcal{A}$ is at least $t$, and is an {\it $r$-family} if every set in $\mathcal{A}$ has cardinality $r$. A…
