Gardner showed how to dissect a square into eight and nine acute scalene triangles. W. Gosper discovered a dissection of a unit square into 10 acute isosceles triangles, ...

The average number of regions N(n) into which n lines divide a square is N^_(n)=1/(16)n(n-1)pi+n+1 (Santaló 1976; Finch 2003, p. 481). The maximum number of sequences is ...

In the above figure, the identical squares A, B, C appear different in width and height, because subdividing a space makes it appear larger. A different orientation can also ...

A sequence of approximations a/b to sqrt(n) can be derived by factoring a^2-nb^2=+/-1 (1) (where -1 is possible only if -1 is a quadratic residue of n). Then ...

The stacked book graph of order (m,n) is defined as the graph Cartesian product S_(m+1) square P_n, where S_m is a star graph and P_n is the path graph on n nodes. It is ...

Define the minimal bounding rectangle as the smallest rectangle containing a given lattice polygon. If the perimeter of the lattice polygon is equal to that of its minimal ...

A Steiner system S(t,k,v) is a set X of v points, and a collection of subsets of X of size k (called blocks), such that any t points of X are in exactly one of the blocks. ...

Given n points, find the line segments with the shortest possible total length which connect the points. The segments need not necessarily be straight from one point to ...

Stern's diatomic series is the sequence 1, 1,2, 1,3,2,3, 1,4,3,5,2,5,3,4, (1) ... (OEIS A002487) which arises in the Calkin-Wilf tree. It is sometimes also known as the fusc ...

Polynomials S_k(x) which form the Sheffer sequence for g(t) = e^(-t) (1) f^(-1)(t) = ln(1/(1-e^(-t))), (2) where f^(-1)(t) is the inverse function of f(t), and have ...
