چکیده

Let C be a collection of n compact convex sets in the plane, such that the boundaries of any pair of sets in C intersect in at most s points, for some constant s. We show that the maximum number of regular vertices (intersection points of two boundaries that intersect twice) on the boundary of the union U of C is O(n), which improves earlier bounds due to Aronov et al. [4]. The bound is nearly tight in the worst case.

A convex combinatorial property of compact sets in the plane and its roots in lattice theory

K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat have recently proved that if $,mathcal U_0$ and $,mathcal U_1$ are circles in a triangle with vertices $A_0,A_1,A_2$, then there exist $jin {0,1,2}$ and $kin{0,1}$ such that $,mathcal U_{1-k}$ is included in the convex hull of $,mathcal U_kcup({A_0,A_1, A_2}setminus{A_j})$. One could say disks instead of circles.Here we prove the existence of such a $j$ and $k$ ...

On the Number of Regular Vertices of the Union of Jordan Regions

Let C be a collection of n Jordan regions in the plane in general position, such that each pair of their boundaries intersect in at most s points, where s is a constant. If the boundaries of two sets in C cross exactly twice, then their intersection points are called regular vertices of the arrangement A(C). Let R(C) denote the set of regular vertices on the boundary of the union of C. We prese...

On the M-polynomial of planar chemical graphs

Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,jge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that ${d_v(G), d_u(G)} = {i,j}$. The $M$-polynomial of $G$ is $M(G;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$. With $M(G;x,y)$ in hands, numerous degree-based topological indices of $G$ can be routinely computed. In this note a formula for the $M$-polynomial of planar (chemical) graphs which have only vertices...

A‰ne-regular hexagons of extreme areas inscribed in a centrally symmetric convex body

Let M be a planar centrally symmetric convex body. If H is an a‰ne regular hexagon of the smallest (the largest) possible area inscribed in M, then M contains (respectively, the interior of M does not contain) an additional pair of symmetric vertices of the a‰neregular 12-gon TH whose every second vertex is a vertex of H. Moreover, we can inscribe in M an octagon whose three pairs of opposite v...

On the Regular Power Graph on the Conjugacy Classes of Finite Groups

emph{The (undirected) power graph on the conjugacy classes} $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ of a group $G$ is a simple graph in which the vertices are the conjugacy classes of $G$ and two distinct vertices $C$ and $C'$ are adjacent in $mathcal{P_C}(G)$ if one is a subset of a power of the other. In this paper, we describe groups whose associated graphs are $k$-regular for $k=5,6$.
