If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…
A ball-polyhedron is the intersection with non-empty interior of finitely many (closed) unit balls in Euclidean 3-space. One can represent the boundary of a ball-polyhedron as the union of vertices, edges, and faces defined in a rather…
A chiral polyhedron has a geometric symmetry group with two orbits on the flags, such that adjacent flags are in distinct orbits. Part I of the paper described the discrete chiral polyhedra in ordinary Euclidean 3-space with finite skew…
Paul Erd\H{o}s posed the question of whether every measurable planar set of infinite Lebesgue measure contains the four vertices of an isosceles trapezoid of unit area. In this paper, we provide an affirmative answer to this question.…
We say a lattice tetrahedron whose centroid is its only non-vertex lattice point is lattice barycentric. The notation T(a,b,c) describes the lattice tetrahedron with vertices {0, e_1, e_2, a e_1 + b e_2 + c e_3}. Our result is that all such…
A method to visualize polytopes in a four dimensional euclidian space $(x,y,z,w)$ is proposed. A polytope is sliced by multiple hyperplanes that are parallel each other and separated by uniform intervals. Since the hyperplanes are…
Here is presented a concept of centrogeometry which can be seen as a combination of the concept of point-like observer with an idea of Poincar\'{e}'s that different geometries are principally equivalent. As it is to be shown later, all…
An unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting the surface and flattening to a single, connected, planar piece without overlap (except possibly at boundary points). It is a long unsolved problem to determine whether every polyhedron…
A polytope in a finite-dimensional normed space is subequilateral if the length in the norm of each of its edges equals its diameter. Subequilateral polytopes occur in the study of two unrelated subjects: surface energy minimizing cones and…
We prove that alternating links with two totally geodesic checkerboard surfaces are three links with projection the 1-skeleton of the octahedron, the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. We also characterize these links as right-angled…
It is proven here that the diameter of the d-dimensional associahedron is 2d-4 when d is greater than 9. Two maximally distant vertices of this polytope are explicitly described as triangulations of a convex polygon, and their distance is…
The aim of this paper is to give a survey of the known results concerning centrally symmetric polytopes, spheres, and manifolds. We further enumerate nearly neighborly centrally symmetric spheres and centrally symmetric products of spheres…
By examining the 3 surface angles which exist at any of the 8 vertices of a Diophantine parallelepiped, and classifying them by the appearance of a right angle, it is discovered that 5 unique classes of Diophantine parallelepipeds exist. It…
Consider an orthogonal polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron where (at least after a suitable rotation) all faces are perpendicular to a coordinate axis, and hence all edges are parallel to a coordinate axis. Clearly, any facial angle and any…
Atkinson [2] found a sequence of three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedra whose dihedral angles are $\pi /3$. In this paper, we construct another sequence of such polyhedra. We also determine the volumes of some of these polyhedra.
Sol LeWitt famously enumerated all the incomplete open cubes, finding 122 of these connected, non-planar subsets of the edges of the cube. Since then, while several projects have revisited the cube enumeration, no such enumeration has been…
In this paper we try to find examples of integrable natural Hamiltonian systems on the sphere $S^2$ with the symmetries of each Platonic polyhedra. Although some of these systems are known, their expression is extremely complicated; we try…
This paper is the second part of a two-part paper investigating the structure and properties of dyadic polygons. A dyadic polygon is the intersection of the dyadic subplane $D^2$ of the real plane $R^2$ and a real convex polygon with…
We define a simple orthogonal polyhedron to be a three-dimensional polyhedron with the topology of a sphere in which three mutually-perpendicular edges meet at each vertex. By analogy to Steinitz's theorem characterizing the graphs of…
The aim of this note is to investigate isoperimetric-type problems for $3$-dimensional parallelohedra; that is, for convex polyhedra whose translates tile the $3$-dimensional Euclidean space. Our main result states that among…
