In this survey article, we are interested on minimal triangulations of closed pl manifolds. We present a brief survey on the works done in last 25 years on the following: (i) Finding the minimal number of vertices required to triangulate a…

An ear in a triangulation $T$ of a convex $n$-gon $P$ is a triangle of $T$ that shares two sides with $P$ itself. Certain enumerational and structural problems become easier when one considers only triangulations with few ears. We…

In the present paper we find a bijection between the set of small covers over an $n$-cube and the set of acyclic digraphs with $n$ labeled nodes. Using this, we give a formula of the number of small covers over an $n$-cube (generally, a…

This paper will devote to construct a family of fifth degree cubature formulae for $n$-cube with symmetric measure and $n$-dimensional spherically symmetrical region. The formula for $n$-cube contains at most $n^2+5n+3$ points and for…

Triangular numbers that are multiple of other triangular numbers are investigated. It is known that for any positive non-square integer multiplier, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers which are triangular numbers. If the…

We formulate and give partial answers to several combinatorial problems on volumes of simplices determined by $n$ points in 3-space, and in general in $d$ dimensions. (i) The number of tetrahedra of minimum (nonzero) volume spanned by $n$…

We consider in this work triangulations of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ that are periodic along $\mathbb{Z}^n$. They generalize the triangulations obtained from Delaunay tessellations of lattices. Other important property is the regularity and…

We determine the minimum number of vertices needed to provide balanced triangulations of $\mathbb S^{d-2}$-bundles over $\mathbb S^1$. If $d$ is odd and the bundle is orientable, or $d$ is even and the bundle is non-orientable, the minimum…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

For integers $d \geq 2$ and $\epsilon = 0$ or 1, let $S^{1, d - 1}(\epsilon)$ denote the sphere product $S^{1} \times S^{d - 1}$ if $\epsilon = 0$ and the twisted $S^{d - 1}$ bundle over $S^{1}$ if $\epsilon = 1$. The main results of this…

We show that a point set of cardinality $n$ in the plane cannot be the vertex set of more than $59^n O(n^{-6})$ straight-edge triangulations of its convex hull. This improves the previous upper bound of $276.75^n$.

A quadrangle in the Euclidean plane is called $n$-self-affine if it has a dissection into $n$ affine images of itself. All convex quadrangles are known to be $n$-self-affine for every $n \ge 5$. The only $2$-self-affine convex quadrangles…

In 1962, Tutte provided a formula for the number of combinatorial triangulations, that is, maximal planar graphs with a fixed triangular face and $n$ additional vertices. In this note, we study how many ways a combinatorial triangulation…

We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…

This paper uses results on the classification of minimal triangulations of 3-manifolds to produce additional results, using covering spaces. Using previous work on minimal triangulations of lens spaces, it is shown that the lens space…

An $N$-tiling of triangle $ABC$ by triangle $T$ (the `tile') is a way of writing $ABC$ as a union of $N$ copies of $T$ overlapping only at their boundaries. Let the tile $T$ have angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$, and sides $(a,b,c)$. This…

We prove that if an $n$-dimensional space $X$ satisfies certain topological conditions then any triangulation of $X$ as well as any its representation as a simplicial set with contractible faces has at least $2^n$ faces of dimension $n$.…

A triangulation of a surface is irreducible if no edge can be contracted to produce a triangulation of the same surface. In this paper, we investigate irreducible triangulations of surfaces with boundary. We prove that the number of…

Attending to an open problem in the literature stated by Mirzakhani and Vondr\'ak, we give a lower bound of the number of non-monochromatic simplices for Sperner labelings of the vertices of a triangulation of a given $ k$-simplex with…

Let $S$ be a $k$-colored (finite) set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, in general position, that is, no {$(d + 1)$} points of $S$ lie in a common $(d - 1)$}-dimensional hyperplane. We count the number of empty monochromatic…
