Let X be a set of v>=3 elements together with a set B of 3-subset (triples) of X such that every 2-subset of X occurs in exactly one triple of B. Then B is called a Steiner ...

The locus of points whose first polars with regard to the curves of a linear net have a common point. It is also the locus of points of concurrence of line polars of points ...

If a Steiner chain is formed from one starting circle, then a Steiner chain is formed from any other starting circle. In other words, given two circles with one interior to ...

For what value of x is f(x)=x^(1/x) a maximum? The maximum occurs at x=e, where f^'(x)=x^(-2+1/x)(1-lnx)=0, (1) which is zero at x=e and gives a maximum of ...

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 ...

The most common statement known as Steiner's theorem (Casey 1893, p. 329) states that the Pascal lines of the hexagons 123456, 143652, and 163254 formed by interchanging the ...

A notation for large numbers defined by Steinhaus (1983, pp. 28-29). In this notation, denotes n^n, denotes "n in n triangles," and denotes "n in n squares." A modified ...

If, in a plane or spherical convex polygon ABCDEFG, all of whose sides AB, BC, CD, ..., FG (with the exception of AG) have fixed lengths, one simultaneously increases ...

A graph G is the edge graph of a polyhedron iff G is a simple planar graph which is 3-connected.

A Steinmetz curve is a curve of intersection of two perpendicularly placed cylinders of radii a and b comprising a Steinmetz solid. If the vertical cylinder has radius a and ...
