Convergence of graph geodesics to geodesics on metric spaces
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact length space metric space $\mathbb{X}_{\delta}$ be a $\delta$-packing on $X$ and, for every $k\in \mathbb{N}_+$, let $G_{k,\delta}=(\mathbb{X}_{\delta},\mathcal{E}_k,W_k)$ ...

Can a polytopal graph be "centrally symmetric" in more than one way?
Let $P,Q$ be two centrally symmetric convex polytopes, potentially of different dimensions and combinatorial type, but with the same edge-graph $G$.
The central symmetry of $P$ induces an involutory ...

Finding closest set of K disjoint hyperspheres to a point in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with uniform radius
I am interested in the following problem: in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we have $N$ overlapping hyperspheres all with the same radius. Given a point $p$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the objective is to find the $K$ non ...

Two questions on counterexamples to Borsuk's conjecture and ball-packings
In 1933 Karol Borsuk conjectured the following
Can every bounded subset $E$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ be partitioned into $(d+1)$ sets, each of which has a smaller diameter than $E$?
Whilst new to this ...

What is the projective dual of a planar graph?
Everybody learns the usual definition of the dual of a planar graph when edges are preserved and faces are mapped to vertices. Everybody learns the projective duality. What if we apply it to a ...

Conjecture on the increasing efficiency of the shortest minimum-link polygonal chains covering any grids of the form $\{0,1,2\}^k$ as $k$ grows
From the well-known Nine dots problem, we know that we need a polygonal chain with at least $4$ edges to connect the $9$ points of the planar grid $G_{3,2}:=\{\{0, 1, 2\} \times \{0, 1, 2\}\} \subset \...

Inside-out dissection
In a recent problem in The College Math Journal (1230) a Heronian triangle is called to have an equivalent rectangle if there exists an integer sided rectangle with the same area and perimeter. For ...

Euclidean embedding of a graph based on 1-ring neighborhood distances only
Consider a graph $(V,E)$, $\vert V \vert = n$ and weights $\{l_{ij}\}$, where $l_{ij}>0$ iff there is an edge connecting vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. Distances beyond the 1-ring neighborhood are not ...

On 'Very Movable' Geometric Configurations (Configurations with a large degree of freedom)
Let $C$ be an $(n_r, b_k)$ combinatorial configuration that admits a geometric realization in the plane. I'm interested in the maximum number of points/lines $M$ of $C$ we can place in general ...
