This paper deals with the problem of circle packing, in which the largest radii circle is to be fit in a confined space filled with arbitrary circles of different radii and centers. A circle packing problem is one of a variety of cutting…
In this paper, an approach is developed to solve the three body problem involving masses which posses spherical symmetry. The problem dates back to the times of Poincare, and is undoubtedly one of the oldest of unsolved problems of…
We study an inexact inner-outer generalized Golub-Kahan algorithm for the solution of saddle-point problems with a two-times-two block structure. In each outer iteration, an inner system has to be solved which in theory has to be done…
We study coupled motion of a 1-D closed elastic string immersed in a 2-D Stokes flow, known as the Stokes immersed boundary problem in two dimensions. Using the fundamental solution of the Stokes equation and the Lagrangian coordinate of…
On computers, discrete problems are solved instead of continuous ones. One must be sure that the solutions of the former problems, obtained in real time (i.e., when the stepsize h is not infinitesimal) are good approximations of the…
We present the numerical solution of two-point boundary value problems for a third order linear PDE, representing a linear evolution in one space dimension. The difficulty of this problem is in the numerical imposition of the boundary…
The Monty Hall problem is the TV game scenario where you, the contestant, are presented with three doors, with a car hidden behind one and goats hidden behind the other two. After you select a door, the host (Monty Hall) opens a second door…
The three-body problem in one-dimension with a repulsive inverse square potential between every pair was solved by Calogero. Here, the known results of supersymmetric quantum mechanics are used to propose a number of new three-body…
An approach is developed to find approximate solutions to the restricted circular three body problem. The solution is useful in approximately describing the position vectors of three spherically symmetric masses, one of which has a much…
I argue that we must distinguish between: (0) the Three-Doors-Problem Problem [sic], which is to make sense of some real world question of a real person. (1) a large number of solutions to this meta-problem, i.e., many specific…
We touch upon a long-standing question of the "true" one-dimensional hydrogen atom solution. From a symmetry point of view, Kepler problem in $d\ge2$ dimension is characterized by geometrical rotational symmetry, $SO(d)$, as well as…
An exact, closed form solution to the scalar Yukawa system in four dimensions is presented. The formalism is used to state and prove a theorem on the initial value problem. The method also works for a general, iso-vector form of the…
The problem of packing equal circles in a circle is a classic and famous packing problem, which is well-studied in academia and has a variety of applications in industry. This problem is computationally challenging, and researchers mainly…
In this paper, we study the solution to the 1-dimensional $\lambda$-self shrinkers and show that for certain $\lambda<0$, there are some closed, embedded solutions other than the circle.
A backdoor set is a set of variables of a propositional formula such that fixing the truth values of the variables in the backdoor set moves the formula into some polynomial-time decidable class. If we know a small backdoor set we can…
This paper provides closed-form formulas for a multidimensional two-sided matching problem with transferable utility and heterogeneity in tastes. When the matching surplus is quadratic, the marginal distributions of the characteristics are…
An inglenook puzzle is a classic shunting (switching) puzzle often found on model railway layouts. A collection of wagons sits in a fan of sidings with a limited length headshunt (lead track). The aim of the puzzle is to rearrange the…
Jigsaw puzzle solving is an intriguing problem which has been explored in computer vision for decades. This paper focuses on a specific variant of the problem - solving puzzles with eroded boundaries. Such erosion makes the problem…
