The placement of objects so that they touch in some specified manner, often inside a container with specified properties. For example, one could consider a sphere packing, ...

Two lines in two-dimensional Euclidean space are said to be parallel if they do not intersect. In three-dimensional Euclidean space, parallel lines not only fail to ...

The number of partitions of n with k or fewer addends, or equivalently, into partitions with no element greater than k. This function is denoted q(n,k) or q_k(n). (Note that ...

The n-Pasechnik graph is a strongly regular graph on (4n-1)^2 vertices constructed from a skew Hadamard matrix of order 4n. It has regular parameters . The 1-Pasechnik is ...

According to G. Pólya, the method of finding geometric objects by intersection. 1. For example, the centers of all circles tangent to a straight line s at a given point P lie ...

Two lines, vectors, planes, etc., are said to be perpendicular if they meet at a right angle. In R^n, two vectors a and b are perpendicular if their dot product a·b=0. (1) In ...

A convex figure constructed by iteratively halving the base of an equilateral triangle and then sliding adjacent triangles so that they slightly overlap. Combining several ...

Two triangles DeltaABC and DeltaA^'B^'C^' are said to be perspective, or sometimes homologic, from a line if the extensions of their three pairs of corresponding sides meet ...

A piecewise function is a function that is defined on a sequence of intervals. A common example is the absolute value, |x|={-x for x<0; 0 for x=0; x for x>0. (1) Piecewise ...

The 60 Pascal lines of a hexagon inscribed in a conic section intersect three at a time through 20 Steiner points. There is a dual relationship between the 15 Plücker lines ...
