The triangulations of a regular convex polygon are enumerated according to the number of diagonals parallel to a fixed edge. The enumeration uses the Shapiro convolution identity, as well as an interpretation of this identity in terms of…

We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number…

The main purpose of this paper is to present a kneading theory for two-dimensional triangular maps. This is done by defining a tensor product between the polynomials and matrices corresponding to the one-dimensional basis map and fiber map.…

An inequality on torsional rigidity is established. For tangential polygons this inequality is stronger than an inequality of Polya and Szego for convex domains. (A survey of related work, not in the journal submission, is presented in the…

In this paper the concept of homothetic parallelogram is introduced. This concept is a generalization of Varignon's and Wittenbauer's parallelograms of an arbitrary quadrangle, whose diagonals are not parallel. A formula for the area and…

In Euclidean geometry, the Pythagorean theorem is presented as an equation involving three squares. This paper explores how analogous expressions may be identified in spherical and hyperbolic geometries.

We construct the differential geometry of smooth manifolds equipped with an algebraic curvature map acting as an area measure. Area metric geometry provides a spacetime structure suitable for the discussion of gauge theories and strings,…

In this paper, we deal with a simple geometric problem: Is it possible to partition a rectangle into $k$ non-congruent rectangles of equal area? This problem is motivated by the so-called `Mondrian art problem' that asks a similar question…

The objective here is to find the maximum polygon, in area, which can be enclosed in a given triangle, for the polygons: parallelograms, rectangles and squares. It will initially be assumed that the choices are inscribed polygons, that is…

In any triangle, the perpendicular side bisectors meet the corresponding internal angle bisectors on the circumcircle. If we take those three points as the vertices of a new triangle and repeat the operation indefinitly, we end up in the…

A well-known result by Larson and Sweedler shows that integrals on a Hopf algebra can be obtained by applying the Structure Theorem for Hopf modules to the rational part of its linear dual. This fact can be rephrased by saying that taking…

It is well known that the area $U$ of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola $X$ is half of the area $T$ of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. In this article, we study some properties of $U$ and $T$ for…

A regularization procedure developed in [1] for the integral curvature invariants on manifolds with conical singularities is generalized to the case of squashed cones. In general, the squashed conical singularities do not have rotational…

In this paper, a theorem about similar triangles is proved. It shows that two small and four large triangles similar to the original triangle can appear if we choose well among several intersections of the perpendicular bisectors of the…

Many questions about triangles and quadrilaterals with rational sides, diagonals and areas can be reduced to solving certain Diophantine equations. We look at a number of such questions including the question of approximating arbitrary…

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 the paper we prove generalization of Schl\"omilch's and Zetel's theorems about concurrent lines in a triangle. This generalization is obtained as a corollary of sharp geometric inequality about the ratio of triangular areas which is…

A generalized divergence theorem is established allowing for domains with inner boundaries. The normal trace of a rough integrand is not a Radon measure; rather, the boundary integral is expressed via a surface functional continuous with…

A certain real number, depending on two neighbouring sides of a quadrilateral and the diagonal meeting these two sides at their common point, is shown to be invariant under affinity. As an application we demonstrate a nice formula for the…

An almost forgotten gem of Gauss tells us how to compute the area of a pentagon by just going around it and measuring areas of each vertex triangles (i.e. triangles whose vertices are three consecutive vertices of the pentagon). We give…
