We prove that the number of dissections of a given polygon into triangles with fixed areas of faces is finite and that an equidissection is algebraic as long as the vertices of the original polygon have algebraic coordinates.
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…
In the present popular science paper we determine when a square can be dissected into rectangles similar to a given rectangle. The approach to the question is based on a physical interpretation using electrical networks. Only secondary…
A partition polynomial is a refinement of the partition number p(n) whose coefficients count some special partition statistic. Just as partition numbers have useful asymptotics so do partition polynomials. In fact, their asymptotics…
We give new characterizations of the algebra $\mathscr{L}_n(\mathbb{F}_{q^n})$ formed by all linearized polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ after briefly surveying some known ones. One isomorphism we construct is between…
We consider bivariate polynomials orthogonal on the bicircle with respect to a positive linear functional. The lexicographical and reverse lexicographical orderings are used to order the monomials. Recurrence formulas are derived between…
The aim of this paper is to study finite orthogonal polynomials on a cone of revolution and its surface. We define two classes of finite orthogonal polynomials on the solid cone and derive their corresponding differential equations and…
Recent work by Forsg{\aa}rd indicates that not every convex lattice polygon arises as the characteristic polygon of an affine dimer or, equivalently, an admissible oriented line arrangement on the torus in general position. We begin the…
We consider polynomials on the unit circle defined by the recurrence relation \Phi_{k+1}(z) = z \Phi_{k} (z) - \bar{\alpha}_{k} \Phi_k^{*}(z) for k \geq 0 and \Phi_0=1. For each n we take \alpha_0, \alpha_1, ...,\alpha_{n-2} i.i.d. random…
A discrete Fourier analysis associated with translation lattices is developed recently by the authors. It permits two lattices, one determining the integral domain and the other determining the family of exponential functions. Possible…
We initiate the study of a multivariate graph polynomial $\Phi_G(x,y,z)$ that interpolates between classical counting polynomials for matchings and for cycle structures arising in the Harary--Sachs expansion of the characteristic…
We study Poncelet's Theorem in finite projective coordinate planes over the field $GF(p)$ and concentrate on a particular pencil of conics. For pairs of such conics we investigate whether we can find polygons with $n$ sides, which are…
We argue that an ensemble of backgrounds best understands hydrodynamic dispersion relations in a medium with few degrees of freedom and is therefore subject to strong thermal fluctuations. In the linearized regime, dispersion relations…
Given a set of forms f={f_1,...,f_m} in R=k[x_1,...,x_n], where k is a field of characteristic zero, we focus on the first syzygy module Z of the transposed Jacobian module D(f), whose elements are called differential syzygies of f. There…
Let $Covering$ be the category of the category of fuzzy coverings, and $Partition$, the category of fuzzy partitions. We geometrically construct an isomorphism of categories between $Partition$ and a full subcategory of $Covering$, which…
The main objects of the paper are $z$-oriented triangulations of connected closed $2$-dimensional surfaces. A $z$-orientation of a map is a minimal collection of zigzags which double covers the set of edges. We have two possibilities for an…
We estimate the number of zeros of a polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[z]$ within any small circular disc centered on the unit circle, which improves and comprehensively extends a result established by Borwein, Erd{\'e}lyi, and Littmann~\cite{BE1}…
So far, flamelet theory has treated curvature as an independent parameter requiring specific means for closure. In this work, it is shown how the adoption of a two-dimensional orthogonal composition space allows obtaining formal…
We consider self-avoiding lattice polygons, in the hypercubic lattice, as a model of a ring polymer adsorbed at a surface and either being desorbed by the action of a force, or pushed towards the surface. We show that, when there is no…
We give a new geometric proof of the classification of $T$-polygons, a theorem originally due to Kasprzyk, Nill and Prince, using ideas from mirror symmetry. In particular, this gives a completely geometric proof that any two toric…
