1 Finite Point Configurations
نویسنده
چکیده
The study of combinatorial properties of finite point configurations is a vast area of research in geometry, whose origins go back at least to the ancient Greeks. Since it includes virtually all problems starting with “consider a set of n points in space,” space limitations impose the necessity of making choices. As a result, we will restrict our attention to Euclidean spaces and will discuss problems that we find particularly important. The chapter is partitioned into incidence problems (Section 1.1), metric problems (Section 1.2), and coloring problems (Section 1.3).

Using the Finite Element Analysis Method to Study the 3-point Bending Test for the Characterization of the Adherence
An elastic finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate the stress distribution in the initiation zone of the adhesive rupture during the 3-point bending test. This test is used to measure the adherence between a polyepoxy adhesive and aluminum alloy with different surface treatments. The purpose is to compare, in the high stress concentration areas, the stress fields calculated using fini...
متن کاملThe Number of Planar Central Configurations Is Finite When N − 1 Mass Positions Are Fixed
In this paper, it is proved that for n > 2 and n 6= 4, if n−1 masses are located at fixed points in a plane, then there are only a finite number of n-point central configurations that can be generated by positioning a given additional nth mass in the same plane. The result is established by proving an equivalent isolation result for planar central configurations of five or more points. Other ge...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Magnetorheological Damper Valve Configurations Using Finite Element Method
The main purpose of this paper is to study various configurations of a magnetorheological (MR) damper valve and to evaluate their performance indices typically dynamic range, valve ratio, inductive time constant and pressure drop. It is known that these performance indices (PI) of the damper depend upon the magnetic circuit design of the valve. Hence, nine valve configurations are considered fo...
متن کاملRealization of abstract convex geometries by point configurations
The following classical example of convex geometries shows how they earned their name. Given a set of points X in Euclidean space R, one defines a closure operator on X as follows: for any Y ⊆ X, Y = convex hull(Y ) ∩ X. One easily verifies that such an operator satisfies the anti-exchange axiom. Thus, (X,−) is a convex geometry. Denote by Co(R, X) the closure lattice of this closure space, nam...
متن کاملCompeting Particle Systems Evolving by I.I.D. Increments
We consider competing particle systems in R , i.e. random locally finite upper bounded configurations of points in R evolving in discrete time steps. In each step i.i.d. increments are added to the particles independently of the initial configuration and the previous steps. Ruzmaikina and Aizenman characterized quasi-stationary measures of such an evolution, i.e. point processes for which the j...
