A concave polygon is a polygon that is not convex. A simple polygon is concave iff at least one of its internal angles is greater than 180 degrees. An example of a non-simple ...

Attractive compounds of four octahedra can be constructed as the duals of the cube 4-compounds. These compounds will be implemented in a future version of the Wolfram ...

If a function phi:(0,infty)->(0,infty) satisfies 1. ln[phi(x)] is convex, 2. phi(x+1)=xphi(x) for all x>0, and 3. phi(1)=1, then phi(x) is the gamma function Gamma(x). ...

The happy end problem, also called the "happy ending problem," is the problem of determining for n>=3 the smallest number of points g(n) in general position in the plane ...

Every convex body B in the Euclidean plane with area A can be inscribed in a triangle of area at most equal to 2A (Gross 1918, Eggleston 1957). The worst possible fit ...

For a given point lattice, some number of points will be within distance d of the origin. A Waterman polyhedron is the convex hull of these points. A progression of Waterman ...

A simplex, sometimes called a hypertetrahedron (Buekenhout and Parker 1998), is the generalization of a tetrahedral region of space to n dimensions. The boundary of a ...

A hedgehog is an envelope parameterized by its Gauss map (Martinez-Maure 1996). Viewed another way, a hedgehog is a Minkowski difference of a convex body (Martinez-Maure ...

Attractive compounds can be constructed from the cube 3-compounds and their octahedron 3-compound duals. One is illustrated above. This compound will be implemented in a ...

Let the opposite sides of a convex cyclic hexagon be a, a^', b, b^', c, and c^', and let the polygon diagonals e, f, and g be so chosen that a, a^', and e have no common ...
