We define new geometric constants for normed planes, determine their optimal values, and characterize types of planes for which these optimal values are attained. Relations of these constants to several topics, such as areas and distances…
Simple constructions are given for finite semifields that include as special cases both old semifields and recently constructed semifields.
We discuss a new geometric construction of port-Hamiltonian systems. Using this framework, we revisit the notion of interconnection providing it with an intrinsic description. Special emphasis on theoretical and applied examples is given…
We give a brief exposition of the proof of the Cayley-Salmon theorem and its recent role in incidence geometry. Even when we don't use the properties of ruled surfaces explicitly, the regime in which we have interesting results in…
We survey recent (and not so recent) results concerning arrangements of lines, points and other geometric objects and the applications these results have in theoretical computer science and combinatorics. The three main types of problems we…
Given two points in the plane, and a set of "obstacles" given as curves through the plane with assigned weights, we consider the point-separation problem, which asks for the minimum-weight subset of the obstacles separating the two points.…
We discuss solutions of several questions concerning the geometry of conformal planes.
In this article we will represent some ideas and a lot of new theorems in Euclidean plane geometry.
A standard procedure in classical projective geometry, using pencils of lines to extend an incidence plane to a projective plane, is examined from a constructive viewpoint. Brouwerian counterexamples reveal the limitations of traditional…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
This paper begins by extending the notion of a combinatorial configuration of points and lines to a combinatorial configuration of points and planes that we refer to as configurations of order $2$. We then proceed to investigate a further…
We describe a new way to construct finite geometric objects. For every k we obtain a symmetric configuration E(k-1) with k points on a line. In particular, we have a constructive existence proof for such configurations. The method is very…
The geometry of jets of submanifolds is studied, with special interest in the relationship with the calculus of variations. A new intrinsic geometric formulation of the variational problem on jets of submanifolds is given. Working examples…
We present an algorithm for detecting basepoints of linear series of curves in the plane. Moreover, we give an algorithm for constructing a linear series of curves in the plane for given basepoints. The underlying method of these algorithms…
One way to characterize configurations of points up to congruence is by considering the distribution of all mutual distances between points. This paper deals with the question if point configurations are uniquely determined by this…
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
As one type of incidence theory, the geometry of pentagram map seems quite classical at first. However, this is an excellent example of such a classical idea developed into a marvellous insight by some modern approach. We introduce an…
The kinematics of particles and rigid bodies in the plane are investigated up to higher-order accelerations. Discussion of point trajectories leads from higher-order poles to higher-order Bresse circles of the moving plane. Symplectic…
We discuss the principle tools and results and state a few open problems concerning the classification and topology of plane sextics and trigonal curves in ruled surfaces.
We first describe a reduction from the problem of lower-bounding the number of distinct distances determined by a set $S$ of $s$ points in the plane to an incidence problem between points and a certain class of helices (or parabolas) in…
