In 1893 J. J. Sylvester [8] posed the following celebrated problem: Given a finite collection of points in the affine plane, not all lying on a line, show that there exists a line which passes through precisely two of the points. Sylvester’s problem was reposed by Erdős in 1944 [4] and later that year a proof was given by Gallai [6]. Since then, many proofs of the Sylvester-Gallai Theorem have ...

To implement a method measuring anaerobic capacity within the field of training control, the reproducibility of the results is of deciding significance. In this study, we examined the test-retest-reliability of the most commonly used method for measuring anaerobic capacity to date, modified according to Monod and Scherrer, on a motorized treadmill. Ten healthy, athletically active, male partici...

A complete graph is the graph in which every two vertices are adjacent. For a graph G = (V,E), the complete width of G is the minimum k such that there exist k independent sets Ni ⊆ V , 1 ≤ i ≤ k, such that the graph G obtained from G by adding some new edges between certain vertices inside the sets Ni, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, is a complete graph. The complete width problem is to decide whether the complete...

An intersection representation of a graph G is a function f : V…G† ! 2 (where S is any set) with the property that uv A E…G† if and only if f …u†V f …v†0h. The size of the representation is jSj. The intersection number of G is the smallest size of an intersection representation of G. The intersection number can be expressed as an integer program, and the value of the linear relaxation of that p...

in this paper we will determine the multiple point manifolds of certain self-transverse immersions in euclidean spaces. following the triple points, these immersions have a double point self-intersection set which is the image of an immersion of a smooth 5-dimensional manifold, cobordant to dold manifold $v^5$ or a boundary. we will show there is an immersion of $s^7times p^2$ in $mathbb{r}^{13...

We explore the geometry linking the shape of a curved mirror surface to the distortions it produces on a scene it reflects. Our analysis is local and differential. We assume a simple calibrated scene composed of lines passing through a point. We demonstrate that local information about the geometry of the surface may be recovered up to the second order from either the orientation and curvature ...
