We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number…

The classical Fundamental Theorem of Affine Geometry states that for $n\geq 2$, any bijection of $n$-dimensional Euclidean space that maps lines to lines (as sets) is given by an affine map. We consider an analogous characterization of…

Take a circle and mark $n\in\mathbb{N}$ points on it designated as vertices. For any arc segment between two consecutive vertices which does not pass through any other vertex, there is a disk centered at its midpoint and has its end points…

An internal partition of an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a partition of $V$ such that every vertex has at least as many neighbors in its own part as in the other part. It has been conjectured that every $d$-regular graph with $n>N(d)$…

The Brattelli diagram associated with a given bicolored Dynkin-Coxeter graph of type $A_n$ determines planar fractal sets obtained by infinite dissections of a given triangle. All triangles appearing in the dissection process have angles…

A Graph is called 2-self-centered if its diameter and radius both equal to 2. In this paper, we begin characterizing these graphs by characterizing edge-maximal 2-self-centered graphs via their complements. Then we split characterizing…

Let $M$ be a $3\times 3$ integer matrix which is expanding in the sense that each of its eigenvalues is greater than $1$ in modulus and let $\mathcal{D} \subset \mathbb{Z}^3$ be a digit set containing $|\det M|$ elements. Then the unique…

An internal or friendly partition of a graph is a partition of the vertex set into two nonempty sets so that every vertex has at least as many neighbours in its own class as in the other one. It has been shown that apart from finitely many…

We consider the classical minimum and maximum cut problems: find a partition of vertices of a graph into two disjoint subsets that minimize or maximize the sum of the weights of edges with endpoints in different subsets. It is known that if…

An integral self-affine tile is the solution of a set equation $\mathbf{A} \mathcal{T} = \bigcup_{d \in \mathcal{D}} (\mathcal{T} + d)$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is an $n \times n$ integer matrix and $\mathcal{D}$ is a finite subset of…

For every proper convex cone $K \subset \mathbb R^3$ there exists a unique complete hyperbolic affine 2-sphere with mean curvature $-1$ which is asymptotic to the boundary of the cone. Two cones are associated if the corresponding affine…

I present the elements of accretion-disc physics applied to active galactic nuclei. The accretion driving mechanisms are discussed, then models of geometrically-thin discs, both stationary and time-dependent, are addressed. Disc's…

We prove that almost every triangle can be dissected only into $n^2$ triangles which have to be equal one another. Moreover, such a dissection is unique for every $n$. It turns out that to solve this "simple" problem it is convenient to use…

We show that if $G$ is an upper semicontinuous decomposition of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 4$, into convex sets, then the quotient space $\mathbb{R}^n/G$ is a codimension one manifold factor. In particular, we show that $\mathbb{R}^n/G$ has…

We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a…

We characterize analytic curves that contain non-trivial self-affine sets. We also prove that compact algebraic surfaces cannot contain non-trivial self-affine sets.

We study the scaling properties of the solid-on-solid front of the infinite cluster in two-dimensional gradient percolation. We show that such an object is self affine with a Hurst exponent equal to 2/3 up to a cutoff-length proportional to…

An n-simplex is said to be n-well-centered if its circumcenter lies in its interior. We introduce several other geometric conditions and an algebraic condition that can be used to determine whether a simplex is n-well-centered. These…

A manifold is T-embedded into an affine space if its tangent spaces at distinct points are disjoint. We prove that an n-dimensional disc cannot be T-embedded into 2n-dimensional space.

Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…
