In this paper, we construct compact embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces with the topology of torus which are called $\lambda$-torus in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$.
In this paper some results on the topology of the space of $k$-flats in $\mathbb R^n$ are proved, similar to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem on coverings of sphere. Some corollaries on common transversals for families of compact sets in $\mathbb…
In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…
The aim of this paper is to highlight recent progress in using conic optimization methods to study geometric packing problems. We will look at four geometric packing problems of different kinds: two on the unit sphere -- the kissing number…
For Erd\H{o}s space, $\mathfrak{E}$, let us define a topology, $\tau_{clopen}$, which is generated by clopen subsets of $\mathfrak{E}$. A. V. Arhangel'skii and J. Van Mill asked whether the topology $\tau_{clopen}$ is compatible with the…
We provide efficient constant factor approximation algorithms for the problems of finding a hierarchical clustering of a point set in any metric space, minimizing the sum of minimimum spanning tree lengths within each cluster, and in the…
We study the enumeration problem of higher dimensional partitions, a natural generalisation of classical integer partitions. We show that their counting problem is equivalent to the enumeration of simpler classes of higher dimensional…
We prove integral curvature bounds in terms of the Betti numbers for compact submanifolds of the Euclidean space with low codimension. As an application, we obtain topological obstructions for $\delta$-pinched immersions. Furthermore, we…
The aim of this short note is to develop a (co)homology theory for topological spaces together with the specialisation preorder. A known way to construct such a (co)homology is to define a partial order on the topological space starting…
A topological preordered space admits a Hausdorff closed preorder compactification if and only if it is Tychonoff and the preorder is represented by the family of continuous isotone functions. We construct the largest Hausdorff closed…
The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
We consider the variational problem of minimizing an anisotropic perimeter functional under a volume constraint in a Euclidean convex domain. We extend to this setting analytical properties of the isoperimetric profile, topological features…
Starting from the well-known and elementary problem of inscribing the rectangle of the greatest area in an ellipse, we look at possible, gradually more and more complicated variants of this problem. Our goal is to demonstrate to an average…
We give, for each level of complexity L, a Hurewicz-like characterization of the Borel subsets with countable sections of a product of two Polish spaces that cannot become in L by changing the two Polish topologies.
To advance Thomson problem we generalize physical principles suggested by Caspar and Klug (CK) to model icosahedral capsids. Proposed simplest distortions of the CK spherical arrangements yield new-type trial structures very close to the…
We develop a novel technique, which we call poset splitting, that allows us to solve two open problems regarding minimality of finite models of spaces: the nonexistence of a finite model of the real projective plane with fewer than 13…
A clustering algorithm partitions a set of data points into smaller sets (clusters) such that each subset is more tightly packed than the whole. Many approaches to clustering translate the vector data into a graph with edges reflecting a…
A partial cube is a graph having an isometric embedding in a hypercube. Partial cubes are characterized by a natural equivalence relation on the edges, whose classes are called zones. The number of zones determines the minimal dimension of…
These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…
Despite the huge number of research into the three-body problem in physics and mathematics, the study of this problem still remains relevant both from the point of view of its broad application and taking into account its fundamental…
