A sequence of rational points on an algebraic planar curve is said to form an $r$-geometric progression sequence if either the abscissae or the ordinates of these points form a geometric progression sequence with ratio $r$. In this work, we…
An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…
Iteration of the quadratic map produces sequences of polynomials whose degrees {\sl explode} as the orbital period grows more and more. The polynomial mixing all 335 period-12 orbits has degree $4020$, while for the $52,377$ period-20…
Two planar sets are circularly separable if there exists a circle enclosing one of the sets and whose open interior disk does not intersect the other set. This paper studies two problems related to circular separability. A linear-time…
In this paper we use continuous family of multisections of the moduli space of pseudo holomorphic discs to partially improve, in the case of real coefficient, the construction of Lagrangian Floer cohomology of which the author developed…
Spiral structure in disk galaxies is modeled with nine collisionless N-body simulations including live disks, halos, and bulges with a range of masses. Two of these simulations make long-lasting and strong two-arm spiral wave modes that…
The symmetry of polygons can be characterized by the number of symmetry axes they have. For $n$-polygons with $p$ or $p^2$ vertices $p\geq3$ there exist few symmetry categories, depending from the number of symmetry-axes the have. Further…
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.…
Mathematical billiards is much like the real game: a point mass, representing the ball, rolls in a straight line on a (perfectly friction-less) table, striking the sides according to the law of reflection. A billiard trajectory is then…
The Brocard porism is a known 1d family of triangles inscribed in a circle and circumscribed about an ellipse. Remarkably, the Brocard angle is invariant and the Brocard points are stationary at the foci of the ellipse. In this paper we…
We present an improved algorithm for {\em quasi-properly} learning convex polyhedra in the realizable PAC setting from data with a margin. Our learning algorithm constructs a consistent polyhedron as an intersection of about $t \log t$…
The formal algebraic structures that govern higher-spin theories within the unfolded approach turn out to be related to an extension of the Kontsevich Formality, namely, the Shoikhet-Tsygan Formality. Effectively, this allows one to…
We explore optimal circular nonconvex partitions of regular k-gons. The circularity of a polygon is measured by its aspect ratio: the ratio of the radii of the smallest circumscribing circle to the largest inscribed disk. An optimal…
The density-wave theory of spiral structure proposes that star formation occurs in or near a spiral-shaped region of higher density that rotates rigidly within the galactic disk at a fixed pattern speed. In most interpretations of this…
A new formula is obtained in algebraic topology, in terms of Betti numbers, and a new method, called the spinal method, is suggested and developed for generating quadrangulations of closed orientable surfaces. Those surfaces arise as the…
``Quasi-elliptic'' functions can be given a ring structure in two different ways, using either ordinary multiplication, or convolution. The map between the corresponding standard bases is calculated. A related structure has appeared…
The affine sphere construction gives, on any oriented surface, a one-to-one correspondence between convex $\mathbb{RP}^2$-structures and holomorphic cubic differentials. Generalizing results of Benoist-Hulin, Loftin and Dumas-Wolf, we show…
We investigate the motions of a bar structure consisting of two congruent tetrahedra, whose edges in their basic position form the face diagonals of a rectangular parallelepiped. The constraint of the motion is that the originally…
To construct a curve with a monotonic curvature (spiral), and given tangents and curvatures at the ends, the author proposed the following method. From given boundary conditions, the values of two inverse invariants are determined. Then, on…
In this paper, we study a Lienard system of the form dot{x}=y-F(x), dot{y}=-x, where F(x) is an odd polynomial. We introduce a method that gives a sequence of algebraic approximations to the equation of each limit cycle of the system. This…
