Pentagon is one of the most beautiful geometric structures in nature, but it is rarely seen simply because five-fold symmetry is mathematically forbidden in a 2D or 3D periodic lattices. Fortunately, pentagon as a structural element is…

The mitosis process of an eukaryotic cell can be represented by the structure constants of an evolution algebra. Any isotopism of the latter corresponds to a mutation of genotypes of the former. This paper uses Computational Algebraic…
