We introduce the notion of $P_{\lambda}$ points, which canonically parametrize points on the Euler line. This allows us to show that the Euler line of any $d$-dimensional inscribed polygon in Euclidean space arises from the Euler lines of…

In the present paper we give an explicit formula which allows us immediately to describe a unique Gauss circuit on a framed 4-valent graph (a graph with a structure of opposite edges) from an arbitrary Euler tour on the graph whenever the…

A classical result attributed to Joachimsthal in 1846 states that if two surfaces intersect with constant angle along a line of curvature of one surface, then the curve of intersection is also a line of curvature of the other surface. In…

In this paper, we study several topics on pedal polygons. First, we prove the existence for pedal centers of triangles in a new way. From its proof, we find that the sum of area of outer and inner polygons is invariant under rotation.…

We show how the circle method can be used to study rational points on a certain cubic fourfold, going beyond the square-root barrier.

In a series of three papers we develop an end space theory for directed graphs. As for undirected graphs, the ends of a digraph are points at infinity to which its rays converge. Unlike for undirected graphs, some ends are joined by limit…

Four points ordered in the positive order on the unit circle determine the vertices of a quadrilateral, which is considered either as a euclidean or as a hyperbolic quadrilateral depending on whether the lines connecting the vertices are…

We show that the centers of the excircles of a bicentric polygon $B$ are concyclic on a circle $E$. The center of the circumscribed circle $K$ of $B$ is the midpoint of the center of $E$ and the center of the inscribed circle $C$ of $B$.…

Envelopes of parameterized families of plane curves is an important topic, both for the mathematics involved and for its applications. Nowadays, it is generally studied in a technology-rich environment, and automated methods are developed…

We give a fast, exact algorithm for solving Dirichlet problems with polynomial boundary functions on quadratic surfaces in R^n such as ellipsoids, elliptic cylinders, and paraboloids. To produce this algorithm, first we show that every…

A regular polygon circumscribing another regular polygon (with a different side number) may be tightened to minimize the difference of both areas. The manuscripts computes the optimum result under the restriction that both polygons are…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to the sphere and the hyperbolic…

Let $C$ be a smooth, convex curve on either the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2}$, the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^{2}$ or the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{E}^{2}$, with the following property: there exists $\alpha$, and parameterizations $x(t), y(t)$…

We study caustics of an elliptical paraboloid and the history of their various representations from 3D models in XIX century to the recent computer graphics. In the paper two ways of generating the surface, one with cartesian coordinates…

A well-known object in classical Euclidean geometry is the circumcenter of a triangle, i.e., the point that is equidistant from all vertices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic study of the circumcenter of sets containing…

Let $P_{n}$ be a set of $n$ points, including the origin, in the unit square $U = [0,1]^2$. We consider the problem of constructing $n$ axis-parallel and mutually disjoint rectangles inside $U$ such that the bottom-left corner of each…

A polyellipse is a curve in the Euclidean plane all of whose points have the same sum of distances from finitely many given points (focuses). The classical version of Erd\H{o}s-Vincze's theorem states that regular triangles can not be…

Trisecting an angle has been proved to be impossible by Euclidean Geometry, using only straight edge and compass. However, there is a method using Origami (paper folding) procedure to trisect an angle. The algebraic analysis of the same…

We consider a billiard problem for compact domains bounded by confocal conics on a hyperboloid of one sheet in the Minkowski space. We show that there are two types of confocal families in such setting. Using an algebro-geometric…

We study several models of random geometric subdivisions arising from the model of Diaconis and Miclo (2011). In particular, we show that the limiting shape of an indefinite subdivision of a quadrilateral is a.s.\ a parallelogram. We also…
