Convex Polyhedra without Simple Closed Geodesics
In 1905, in his famous article “Sur les lignes géodésiques des surfaces convexes” [1] H. Poincaré posed a question on the existence of at least three geometrically different closed geodesics without self-intersections on any smooth convex two-dimensional surface (2-surface) M homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere (2-sphere) S2. Each such geodesic splits the surface M into two domains homeo...
متن کاملAn existence theorem for some simple t-designs
Dehon, M., An existence theorem for some simple t-designs, Discrete Mathematics 90 (1991) 137-142. Let S’ be a simple S;(t, k, [) containing b’ blocks and let S be a, not necessarily simple, $(t, 1. u); we prove that if b”(A 1) < (:), then there exists a simple &,(t, k, v). We apply this result to prove the existence of a new infinite family of 5-designs derived from the Alltop’s family of 5-de...
متن کاملConical Existence of Closed Curves on Convex Polyhedra
Let C be a simple, closed, directed curve on the surface of a convex polyhedron P. We identify several classes of curves C that “live on a cone,” in the sense that C and a neighborhood to one side may be isometrically embedded on the surface of a cone Λ, with the apex a of Λ enclosed inside (the image of) C; we also prove that each point of C is “visible to” a. In particular, we obtain that the...
متن کاملCauchy's Theorem and Edge Lengths of Convex Polyhedra
In this paper we explore, from an algorithmic point of view, the extent to which the facial angles and combinatorial structure of a convex polyhedron determine the polyhedron—in particular the edge lengths and dihedral angles of the polyhedron. Cauchy’s rigidity theorem of 1813 states that the dihedral angles are uniquely determined. Finding them is a significant algorithmic problem which we ex...
متن کاملSimple equations giving shapes of various convex polyhedra: the regular polyhedra and polyhedra composed of crystallographically low-index planes
Simple equations are derived that give the shapes of various convex polyhedra. The five regular polyhedra, called Platonic solids (the tetrahedron, hexahedron or cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron), and polyhedra composed of crystallographically low-index planes are treated. The equations also give shapes that are nearly polyhedral with round edges, or intermediate shapes between a ...
