In this paper, we present upper bounds for the depth of some classes of polyhedra, including: polyhedra with finite fundamental group, polyhedra $P$ with abelian or free $\pi_1(P)$ and finitely generated $H_i(tilde{P};\mathbb{Z}$,…
For an oriented surface $S$, the singular set of a fold map $f:S\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ is a collection of smooth curves, also known as fold singularities. We construct a sharp lower bound on the number of self-intersections of such fold…
We present a new proof (based on spectral decomposition) of a bound originally proved by Sidelnikov~\, for the frame potentials $\sum_{ij} \left( {\bf P}_i \cdot {\bf P}_j \right)^\ell $ on a unit--sphere in $d$ dimensions. Sidelnikov's…
The surface partition of large fragments is derived analytically within a simple statistical model by the Laplace-Fourier transformation method. In the limit of small amplitude deformations, a suggested Hills and Dales Model reproduces the…
We estimate the frequency of polynomial iterations which falls in a given multiplicative subgroup of a finite field of $p$ elements. We also give a lower bound on the size of the subgroup which is multiplicatively generated by the first $N$…
The main result of this paper is that the polytope of the bipartite TSP is significantly different from that of the general TSP. Comb inequalities are known as facet defining ones in the general case. In the bipartite case, however, many of…
In this paper, we show that if we decompose a polygon into two smaller polygons, then by comparing the number of extremal vertices in the original polygon versus the sum of the two smaller polygons, we can gain at most two globally extremal…
Upper and lower bounds are given for the maximum Euclidean curvature among faces in Bianchi's fundamental polyhedron for $PSL_2(O)$ in the upper-half space model of hyperbolic space, where $O$ is an imaginary quadratic ring of integers with…
In this paper, we consider certain finite sums related to the "largest odd divisor", and we obtain, using simple ideas and recurrence relations, sharp upper and lower bounds for these sums.
Algebraic surfaces in the complex projective space with a high number of A-type singularities have been presented in a recent paper. We extend the construction in order to obtain lower bounds for the maximal number of A singularities for…
We construct infinite families of abstract regular polytopes of type $\{4,p_1,\ldots,p_{n-1}\}$ from extensions of centrally symmetric spherical abstract regular $n$-polytopes. In addition, by applying the halving operation, we obtain…
In this paper we present a new bound obtained with the probabilistic method for the solution of the Set Covering problem with unit costs. The bound is valid for problems of fixed dimension, thus extending previous similar asymptotic…
Using the theory of the symmetry group for PDEs [15, 17], we derive the symmetry group G associated to surfaces PDE. Several group invariant solutions of the surfaces PDE are given by solving a reduced system of partial differential…
We study face numbers of simplicial complexes that triangulate manifolds (or even normal pseudomanifolds) with boundary. Specifically, we establish a sharp lower bound on the number of interior edges of a simplicial normal pseudomanifold…
In this paper we present a self-contained combinatorial proof of the lower bound theorem for normal pseudomanifolds, including a treatment of the cases of equality in this theorem. We also discuss McMullen and Walkup's generalised lower…
We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…
We prove explicit bounds for the number of sums of consecutive prime squares below a given magnitude.
A level graph is the data of a pair $(G,\pi)$ consisting of a finite graph $G$ and an ordered partition $\pi$ on the set of vertices of $G$. To each level graph on $n$ vertices we associate a polytope in $\mathbb R^n$ called its residue…
In this paper we study $L_p$-norm spherical copulas for arbitrary $p \in [1,\infty]$ and arbitrary dimensions. The study is motivated by a conjecture that these distributions lead to a sharp bound for the value of a certain generalized mean…
We obtain upper bounds on the number of singular points of factorial terminal Fano threefolds.
