A rectangular layout is a partition of a rectangle into a finite set of interior-disjoint rectangles. Rectangular layouts appear in various applications: as rectangular cartograms in cartography, as floorplans in building architecture and…
The theory of modular forms and spherical harmonic analysis are applied to establish new best bounds towards the counting and equidistribution of rational points on spheres and other higher dimensional ellipsoids, in what may be viewed as a…
Detecting polygons defined by a set of line segments in a plane is an important step in analyzing vector drawings. This paper presents an approach combining several algorithms to detect basic polygons from arbitrary line segments. The…
Compacting orthogonal drawings is a challenging task. Usually algorithms try to compute drawings with small area or edge length while preserving the underlying orthogonal shape. We present a one-dimensional compaction algorithm that alters…
An elementary, albeit higher dimensional, argument is used to compute the area under the power function curve between 0 and 1.

We describe all families of star-shaped n-polygons in the Euclidean plane with prescribed perimeter and area ; they are leaves of a foliation F on the space of star-shaped n-polygons. By the way, we study some geometric properties of convex…
A polygon is equable if its area is equal to its perimeter. A pair of polygons is an amicable pair if the area of the first is equal to the perimeter of the second, and vice versa. A polygon is a lattice polygon if its vertices lie on the…
We will first solve the following problem analytically: given a piece of wire of specified length, we will find where the wire should be cut and bent to form two regular polygons not necessarily having the same number of sides, so that the…
In this paper, ellipsoid method for linear programming is derived using only minimal knowledge of algebra and matrices. Unfortunately, most authors first describe the algorithm, then later prove its correctness, which requires a good…
