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 ...

Quadratic serendipity element shape functions on general planar polygons

Xiaodong Wei

This paper proposes a method for the construction of quadratic serendipity element (QSE) shape functions on planar convex and concave polygons. Existing approaches for constructing QSE shape functions are linear combinations of the pair-wise products of ge ...

Free Boundary Regularity for Almost Every Solution to the Signorini Problem

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in Rn+1. It is known that regular points are (n−1)-dimensional and C∞. However, even for C∞ obstacles φ, the set of non-regular (or degenerate) points could be very large—e.g. wit ...

Planar Point Sets Determine Many Pairwise Crossing Segments

János Pach

We show that any set of n points in general position in the plane determines n(1-o(1)) pairwise crossing segments. The best previously known lower bound, Omega(root n), was proved more than 25 years ago by Aronov, Erdos, Goddard, Kreitman, Krugerman, Pach, ...

A new method to break the mass-sheet degeneracy using aperture moments

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Markus Rexroth

Mass determinations from gravitational lensing shear and the higher order estimator flexion are both subject to the mass-sheet degeneracy. Mass sheet degeneracy refers to a transformation that leaves the reduced shear and flexion invariant. In general, thi ...

Application aux équations aux dérivées partielles d'une méthode par point fixe et le problème des deux puits

Sébastien Basterrechea

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is about a variant of Banach's fixed point theorem and its applications to several partial differential equations (PDE's), abstractly of the form

\mathcal Lu + \mathcal Q(u) = f.

The main result of thi ...

Order Types of Convex Bodies

We prove a Hadwiger transversal-type result, characterizing convex position on a family of non-crossing convex bodies in the plane. This theorem suggests a definition for the order type of a family of convex bodies, generalizing the usual definition of ord ...

Differential geometry applied to crystallography

The mathematical facet of modern crystallography is essentially based on analytical geometry, linear algebra as well as group theory. This study endeavours to approach the geometry and symmetry of crystals using the tools furnished by differential geometry ...

Highly frustrated magnetic clusters: The kagome on a sphere

Frédéric Mila

We present a detailed study of the low-energy excitations of two existing finite-size realizations of the planar kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the sphere: the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. After highlighting a number of special spectral f ...
