A Note on Lenses in Arrangements of Pairwise Intersecting Circles in the Plane

Rom Pinchasi

Let F be a family of n pairwise intersecting circles in the plane. We show that the number of lenses, that is convex digons, in the arrangement induced by F is at most 2n - 2. This bound is tight. Furthermore, if no two circles in F touch, then the geometr ...

ON THE INDEPENDENCE NUMBER OF INTERSECTION GRAPHS OF AXIS-PARALLEL SEGMENTS

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...

Effects of aquifer geometry on seawater intrusion in annulus segment island aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo

Seawater intrusion in island aquifers was considered analytically, specifically for annulus segment aquifers (ASAs), i.e., aquifers that (in plan) have the shape of an annulus segment. Based on the Ghijben–Herzberg and hillslope-storage Boussinesq equation ...

Extremal Eigenvalues Of The Dirichlet Biharmonic Operator On Rectangles

Davide Buoso

We study the behaviour of extremal eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator over rectangles with a given fixed area. We begin by proving that the principal eigenvalue is minimal for a rectangle for which the ratio between the longest and the shorte ...

Bisector Energy and Few Distinct Distances

Frank de Zeeuw

We define the bisector energy E(P) of a set P in R-2 to be the number of quadruples (a, b, c, d) is an element of P-4 such that a, b determine the same perpendicular bisector as c, d. Equivalently, E(P) is the number of isosceles trapezoids determined by P ...

Model and design of dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi

Fixing a prestretched dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) on a flexible frame allows transformation of the intrinsic in-plane area expansion of DEAs into complex three-dimensional (3D) structures whose shape is determined by a configuration that minimizes ...

The number of distinct distances from a vertex of a convex polygon

János Pach, Rom Pinchasi, Gabriel Nivasch

Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1946 that every n-point set P in convex position in the plane contains a point that determines at least floor(n/2) distinct distances to the other points of P. The best known lower bound due to Dumitrescu (2006) is 13n/36 - O(1). I ...

Piercing Quasi-Rectangles: On a Problem of Danzer and Rogers

János Pach

It is an old problem of Danzer and Rogers to decide whether it is possible arrange O(1/epsilon) points in the unit square so that every rectangle of area epsilon contains at least one of them. We show that the answer to this question is in the negative if ...

Measuring shape rectangularity

A new method for measuring shape rectangularity is introduced. The new shape measure is invariant with respect to similarity transformations, ranges over the interval (0,1] and picks the value 1 if and only if the measured shape is a rectangle. The measure ...

Delaunay Graphs of Point Sets in the Plane With Respect to Axis-Parallel Rectangles

János Pach

Given a point set P in the plane, the Delaunay graph with respect to axis-parallel rectangles is a graph defined on the vertex set P, whose two points p, q is an element of P are connected by an edge if and only if there is a rectangle parallel to the coor ...

Hydrogen sensors based on palladium micro- and nanostructures for fuel cell applications

Thomas Kiefer

Hydrogen (H2) has raised considerable interest as a future energy carrier in its application to fuel cell driven vehicles, as it is absolutely free of polluting emissions. However, it is flammable in air and difficult to contain, for which reason innovativ ...
