In this paper, we study the necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the central configurations formed by two twisted regular polygons (one N-regular polygon and one L-regular polygon). We wish to extend the results of the…
We define a type of biquandle which is a generalization of symplectic quandles. We use the extra structure of these bilinear biquandles to define new knot and link invariants and give some examples.
This paper is concerned with the study of bidirectionally coupled platoon systems. The case considered is when the vehicles are heterogeneous and the coupling can be nonlinear and asymmetric. For such systems, a sufficient condition for…
A $configuration$ of a linkage $\Gamma$ is a possible positioning of $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and the collection of all such forms the configuration space $\mathcal{C}(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$. We here introduce the notion of the $symmetric…
Let $\{\mathbb{P}_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ and $\{\mathbb{Q}_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ be two monic polynomial systems in several variables satisfying the linear structure relation $$\mathbb{Q}_n = \mathbb{P}_n + M_n \mathbb{P}_{n-1}, \quad n\ge 1,$$ where $M_n$…
The existence and bifurcation of homoclinic orbits in planar piecewise linear homogeneous systems with two regions separated by a discontinuity boundary are investigated in this paper. In addition, existence of periodic orbits and stability…
We characterize the topological configurations of points and lines that may arise when placing n points on a circle and drawing the n perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the corresponding convex cyclic n-gon. We also provide exact and…
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining in polynomial time whether a given planar point set $P$ of $n$ points admits 4-connected triangulation. We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for recognizing $P$, and present…
We construct a pair of isotopic link configurations that are not thick isotopic while preserving total length.
To every oriented link $L$, we associate a topologically defined biquandle $\widehat{\mathcal{B}}_{L}$, which we call the topological biquandle of $L$. The construction of $\widehat{\mathcal{B}}_{L}$ is similar to the topological…
Smooth planar vector fields containing two hyperbolic saddles may possess contours formed by heteroclinic connections between these saddles. We present an overview of the bifurcations of these contours based on papers by J.W. Reyn and A.V.…
This paper contains a description of a connection between the matching arrangement and the matching polyhedron. A bijection between regions of the matching arragement and LP-orientations of the matching polyhedron is constructed. This…
This article presents new bijections on planar maps. At first a bijection is established between bipolar orientations on planar maps and specific "transversal structures" on triangulations of the 4-gon with no separating 3-cycle, which are…
We investigate several topological and combinatorial properties of line arrangements. We associate to a line arrangement a link obtained by intersecting the arrangement with some sphere. Several topics are discussed: (a) some link…
A superdiagonal composition is one in which the $i$-th part or summand is of size greater than or equal to $i$. In this paper, we study the number of palindromic superdiagonal compositions and colored superdiagonal compositions. In…
An equilateral pentagon is a polygon in the plane with five sides of equal length. In this paper we classify the central configurations of the $5$-body problem having the five bodies at the vertices of an equilateral pentagon with an axis…
Given $\{P_n \}$ a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials, we analyze their linear combinations $\{Q_n \}$with constant coefficients and fixed length $k+1$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the orthogonality of the monic…
In this paper, we investigate representations of links that are either centrally symmetric in $\mathbb{R}^3$ or antipodally symmetric in $\mathbb{S}^3$. By using the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric maps,…
A linkage $\mathcal{L}$ consists of a graph $G=(V,E)$ and an edge-length function $\ell$. Deciding whether $\mathcal{L}$ can be realized as a planar straight-line embedding in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with edge length $\ell(e)$ for all $e \in E$ is…
Given fixed distinct points $A, B, C, D$, we examine properties of the locus of points $X$ for which $(XA, XC)$, $(XB, XD)$ are isogonal. This locus is a cubic curve circumscribing $ABCD$. We characterize all possible such cubics $\mathcal…
