Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical puzzle book that involves labeling points or edges on three types of graphs: (1) polycubes, which consist of cubes attached face-to-face, (2) polyhexes, which consist of regular hexagons joined edge to edge, and (3) triangulations, which consist of triangles attached edge to edge. For a polycube with n points, the puzzle consists of labeling each vertex with the full set of integers (mod n), (Zn) so that the four labels belonging to each face of every component cube have the same sum. For a polyhex with n points, the vertices are to be labeled with elements from Zn so that the six labels assigned to each component hexagon have the same sum. For puzzles involving triangulation, the edges, instead of the vertices, are to be labeled with elements of Zn. To solve the puzzle, a labeling must be found so that the edges of each component triangle have the same sum. Unlike sudoku, these puzzles have many solutions; the solutions provided in the back of the book are included just to show that a solution exists. Readers are encouraged to create and solve their own puzzles in any of the three genres. Questions of mathematical interest are provided throughout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three related types of puzzles are featured in this book. All involve labeling the vertices or edges of graphs. The first type of graph is a polycube. The vertices are labeled with a specific set of numbers and the puzzle involves obtaining a labeling in which the four vertices belonging to each face of a constituent cube have the same sum. The second type of graph is a plane triangulation. The puzzle involves labeling the edges of each constituent triangle so that the sum is the same for each triangle. The third type of graph is a polyhex. For this type of graph the vertices are labeled with integers so that the sum of the six points bounding each hexagon is the same. Problems and research questions are included at the end of each Section, and all puzzle solutions are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical puzzle book which involves labeling vertices of a plane graph with elements from an abelian group G such that the labels applied to the bounding vertices of each region have the same sum in G. The plane graphs are those formed by the edges and vertices of various types of parallelograms fitted together edge to edge. We call these polyparallelograms. The polyparallelogram puzzles are organized into the following categories according to the types of parallelograms involved: (i) polysquares (or polyominoes; (ii) 60/120 rhombs; (iii) 36/144 and 72/108 rhombs (Penrose rhombs); (iv) various lattice parallelograms. The reader is introduced to the theory of polyparallelogram tilings of polygons, and challenged with problems and research questions at the end of each Chapter. All that is required of the elementary theory of graphs and abelian groups is included in the text. Also included are a variety of pure tiling problems involving nonparallelogram lattice quadrilaterals. “Polyparallelogram Puzzles and Tiling Problems” is a sequel to “Polycubes, Triangulations and Polyhexes over Zn” and features a similar type of puzzle but is more engaging mathematically.

Book excerpt: This book introduces computational proximity (CP) as an algorithmic approach to finding nonempty sets of points that are either close to each other or far apart. Typically in computational proximity, the book starts with some form of proximity space (topological space equipped with a proximity relation) that has an inherent geometry. In CP, two types of near sets are considered, namely, spatially near sets and descriptivelynear sets. It is shown that connectedness, boundedness, mesh nerves, convexity, shapes and shape theory are principal topics in the study of nearness and separation of physical aswell as abstract sets. CP has a hefty visual content. Applications of CP in computer vision, multimedia, brain activity, biology, social networks, and cosmology are included. The book has been derived from the lectures of the author in a graduate course on the topology of digital images taught over the past several years. Many of the students have provided important insights and valuable suggestions. The topics in this monograph introduce many forms of proximities with a computational flavour (especially, what has become known as the strong contact relation), many nuances of topological spaces, and point-free geometry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal aim of this book is to introduce topology and its many applications viewed within a framework that includes a consideration of compactness, completeness, continuity, filters, function spaces, grills, clusters and bunches, hyperspace topologies, initial and final structures, metric spaces, metrization, nets, proximal continuity, proximity spaces, separation axioms, and uniform spaces.This book provides a complete framework for the study of topology with a variety of applications in science and engineering that include camouflage filters, classification, digital image processing, forgery detection, Hausdorff raster spaces, image analysis, microscopy, paleontology, pattern recognition, population dynamics, stem cell biology, topological psychology, and visual merchandising.It is the first complete presentation on topology with applications considered in the context of proximity spaces, and the nearness and remoteness of sets of objects. A novel feature throughout this book is the use of near and far, discovered by F Riesz over 100 years ago. In addition, it is the first time that this form of topology is presented in the context of a number of new applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an introduction to the topology of tiling spaces, with a target audience of graduate students who wish to learn about the interface of topology with aperiodic order. It isn't a comprehensive and cross-referenced tome about everything having to do with tilings, which would be too big, too hard to read, and far too hard to write! Rather, it is a review of the explosion of recent work on tiling spaces as inverse limits, on the cohomology of tiling spaces, on substitution tilings and the role of rotations, and on tilings that do not have finite local complexity. Powerful computational techniques have been developed, as have new ways of thinking about tiling spaces." "The text contains a generous supply of examples and exercises."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising the proceedings of the fall 1995 semester program arranged by The Fields Institute at the U. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, this volume contains eleven contributions which address ordered aperiodic systems realized either as point sets with the Delone property or as tilings of a Euclidean space. This collection of articles aims to bring into the mainstream of mathematics and mathematical physics this developing field of study integrating algebra, geometry, Fourier analysis, number theory, crystallography, and theoretical physics.
