Optimal covering trails in 3 and 4 dimensions

A couple of years ago, I constructively solved (inside the $AABB$ $[0,3]$ X $[0,3]$ X ... X $[0,3]$) the $k$-dimensional generalization of the infamous Nine-Dot Problem by S. Loyd (see Cyclopedia of ...

Lattice-like structure with maximum spacing between vertices

I'll first describe my problem in layman's terms. I have a map with $m$ countries and I want to color each country with a different color (this has nothing to do with the 4-color theorem). How do I ...

Why is Schröder numbers equivalent to the number of perfect matchings for triangular grid of n squares and how the graph look like? [duplicate]

In the OEIS entry for the Schröder numbers is A006318. There is a comment which related the sequence to perfect matchings: The number of perfect matchings in a triangular grid of n squares (n = 1, 4, ...

Orthogonal Hamiltonian cycles in (n x n x n) grids

Let $C_n$ be a cubical $n \times n \times n$ subset of the integer lattice, so consisting of $n^3$ vertices. I am interested in special Hamiltonian cycles in $C_n$, special in the sense that (a) each ...

Anchor sets for lattice polygons: Part I

Suppose $V=\{(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2),\dots,(x_v,y_v)\}$ is a vertex set of lattice points satisfying $$0=x_1<x_2<\dots<x_v \qquad \text{and} \qquad y_1>y_2>\cdots>y_{v-1}>y_v=0.$$ ...

Why is the number of Perfect Matchings in a triangular grid equivalent to the number of Royal Paths?

The sequence A006318 at OEIS stands for the Schröder numbers. They describes the number of lattice paths from the southwest corner $(0,0)$ of an $n\times n$ grid to the northeast corner $(n,n)$, ...

On the laplacian of connected, undirected, multigraphs without loops

Let $G$ be a connected, undirected multigraph, without loops. Let $L_G = D_G - A_G$, where $D_G= diag (val (v_1), \ldots , val (v_n) )$ where $n$ is the no. of vertices of $G$ and $val (v_i)$ ...

Two types of random walkers on square lattice

Consider a two dimensional square lattice ($n$ by $n$), which is our space $S$ (each point labelled by an index $1\to n^2$), containing two types of particles, distinguished here by either an index $1$...

Fundamental solution of Discrete Laplace in the plane

We consider a discretization of the Laplace operator on $\mathbb Z^2$, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Laplace_operator Then, it is natural to consider its fundamental solution $u$, i.e. $|u(x)...

Achieving the largest possible minimum spacing between vertices of the same color in an integer lattice

Consider an infinite integer lattice, or an infinite hexagonal lattice with unit length edges. Provided a set of $k$ possible vertex colors, is there a known largest possible minimum spacing that can ...

Maximal number of edges and triangular cells for n points in a triangular lattice

Consider a subset of $n$ points in an equilateral triangular lattice. Draw all the edges between nearest-neighbor points. What is the maximum, over all such subsets, of the number of edges? This ...
