For a triangle $\Delta$, let (P) denote the problem of the existence of points in the plane of $\Delta$, that are at rational distance to the 3 vertices of $\Delta$. Answer to (P) is known to be positive in the following situation: $\Delta$…
The moduli space of triangles is a two-dimensional space that records triangle shapes in the plane, considered up to similarity. We study the subset corresponding to \textit{lattice triangles}, which are triangles whose vertices have…
By using pairs of nontrivial rational solutions of congruent number equation $$ C_N:\;\;y^2=x^3-N^2x, $$ constructed are pairs of rational right (Pythagorean) triangles with one common side and the other sides equal to the sum and…
We define a so-called square $k$-zig-zag shape as a part of the regular square grid. Considering the shape as a $k$-zig-zag digraph, we give values of its vertices according to the number of the shortest paths from a base vertex. It…
A plane graph is called a rectangular graph if each of its edges can be oriented either horizontally or vertically, each of its interior regions is a four-sided region and all interior regions can be fitted in a rectangular enclosure. Only…
Using a smooth triangulation and a Riemannian metric on a compact, connected, closed manifold M of dimension n we have got that every such M can be represented as a union of a n-dimensional cell and a connected union K of some subsimplexes…
A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with an additional tensor structure, whose fourth power is the identity, is considered. This structure has a circulant matrix with respect to some basis, i.e. the structure is circulant, and it…
An embedded graph is called $z$-knotted if it contains the unique zigzag (up to reversing). We consider $z$-knotted triangulations, i.e. $z$-knotted embedded graphs whose faces are triangles, and describe all cases when the connected sum of…
A rectangular layout is a partition of a rectangle into a finite set of interior-disjoint rectangles. Rectangular layouts appear in various applications: as rectangular cartograms in cartography, as floorplans in building architecture and…
Recutting is an operation on planar polygons defined by cutting a polygon along a diagonal to remove a triangle, and then reattaching the triangle along the same diagonal but with opposite orientation. Recuttings along different diagonals…
The satisfactory development of Quaternionic Analysis has indicated new solutions for physical and mathematical problems. It is worth mentioning the fact that quaternions possess four dimensions, and in this way they may be considered as…
This is a study of the construction of particular regular sub-n-gons T in regular n-gons P using a special system of chords of P. In particular, some of these sub-n-gons have areas which are integer divisors of the area of the given n-gon…
A convex polyhedron is Rupert if a hole can be cut into it (making its genus $1$) such that an identical copy of the polyhedron can pass through the hole. Resolving a conjecture of Jerrard-Wetzel-Yuan, Steininger and Yurkevich recently…
It is known that $\sum\limits_{i =1}^\infty {1/ i^2}={\pi^2/6}$. Meir and Moser asked what is the smallest $\epsilon$ such that all the squares of sides of length $1$, $1/2$, $1/3$, $\ldots$ can be packed into a rectangle of area…
A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form is said to be $\textit{prime-universal}$ if it represents all primes. Recently, Doyle and Williams in [2] classified all prime-universal diagonal ternary quadratic forms, and all…
In the article we consider the composite conformal map which maps annulus to infinite region with symmetric hole and nearly circular hole. It is shown that such transformation is good if the distance between centers of holes are large or…
For a rational number $q$, a rational $D(q)$-$n$-tuple is a set of $n$ distinct nonzero rationals $\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\}$ such that $a_ia_j+q$ is a rational square for all $1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n$. For every $q$ we find all…
This paper discusses traversable wormholes that differ slightly but significantly from those of the Morris-Thorne type under the assumption of cylindrical symmetry. The throat is a piecewise smooth cylindrical surface resulting in a shape…
In this paper geometry is studied with a novel approach. Every geometrical object is defined as a symbol which satisfies some properties. These symbols are then coded into a class of numbers which are named here as many dots numbers (MDN).…
An exact formula is derived, as an integral, for the mean square winding angle of Brownian motion (that is, diffusion) after time t, around an infinitely long impenetrable cylinder of radius a, having started at radius R(>a) from the axis.…
