چکیده

In this paper, we mainly consider the problem of spherical distribution of 5 points, that is, how toconfigure 5 points on a sphere such that the mutual distance sum attains the maximum. It is conjecturedthat the sum of distances is maximal if 5 points form a bipyramid configuration in which case two pointsare positioned at two poles of the sphere and the other three are positioned uniformly on the equator.We study this problem using interval methods and related technics, and give a proof for the conjecturethrough computers in finite time.

Spatial statistics for lattice points on the sphere I‎: ‎Individual results

‎We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares‎. ‎We examine several statistics of these point sets‎, ‎such as the electrostatic potential‎, ‎Ripley's function‎, ‎the variance of the number of points in random spherical caps‎, ‎and the covering radius‎. ‎Some of the results are conditional on t...

M ay 2 00 6 A limit theorem for the maximal interpoint distance of a random sample in the unit ball ∗

We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit d-dimensional ball for d ≥ 2. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are derived using assumptions on the tail of the interpoint distance for two i.i.d. points. The results are specialised for the cases when the points have sphe...

Investigation of Anisotropy Caused by Cylinder Applicator on Dose Distribution around Cs-137 Brachytherapy Source using MCNP4C Code

Introduction: Brachytherapy is a type of radiotherapy in which radioactive sources are used in proximity of tumors normally for treatment of malignancies in the head, prostate and cervix. Materials and Methods: The Cs-137 Selectron source is a low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy source used in a remote afterloading system for treatment of different cancers. This system uses active and inactive sp...
