We extend rational trigonometry to higher dimensions by introducing rational invariants between $k$-subspaces of $n$-dimensional space to give an alternative to the canonical or principal angles studied by Jordan and many others, and their angular variants. We study in particular the cross, spread and det-cross of $2$-subspaces of four-dimensional space, and show that Pythagoras theorem, or the Diagonal Rule, has a natural generalization forsuch $2$-subspaces.

Fractal generally has self-similarity. Using the self-similarity of fractal, we can obtain some important theories about complex networks. In this paper, we concern the Vicsek fractal in three-dimensional space, which provides a natural generalization of Vicsek fractal. Concretely, the Vicsek fractal in three-dimensional space is obtained by repeatedly removing equilateral cubes from an initial equilateral cube of unit side length, at each stage each remaining cube is divided into [Formula: see text] smaller cubes of which [Formula: see text] are kept and the rest discarded, where [Formula: see text] is odd. In addition, we obtain the skeleton network of the Vicsek fractal in three-dimensional space. Then we focus on weighted average geodesic distance of the Vicsek fractal in three-dimensional space. Take [Formula: see text] as an example, we define a similar measure on the Vicsek fractal in three-dimensional space by weight vector and calculate the weighted average geodesic distance. At the same time, asymptotic formula of weighted average geodesic distance on the skeleton network is also obtained. Finally, the general formula of weighted average geodesic distance should be applicable to the models when [Formula: see text], the base of a power, is odd.

AbstractLet X be a smooth complex Fano variety. We study ‘quasi-elementary’ contractions of fiber type of X, which are a natural generalization of elementary contractions of fiber type. If f:X→Y is such a contraction, then the Picard numbers satisfy ρX≤ρY+ρF, where F is a general fiber of f. We show that, if dim Y ≤3 and ρY≥4, then Y is smooth and Fano; if moreover ρY≥6, then X is a product. This yields sharp bounds on ρX when dim X=4 and X has a quasi-elementary contraction of fiber type, and other applications in higher dimensions.

Quasiregular mappings are a natural generalization of analytic functions to higher dimensions. Quasiregular mappings have many properties. Our work in this paper is to prove the following theorem: If f  a b is a quasiregular mapping which maps the plane onto the plane, then f is a bijection. We do this by finding the connection between quasiregular and quasiconformal mappings.

Packings by unequal spheres in three dimensional space have interested many authors. This is to some extent due to the practical applications of such investigations to engineering and physical problems (see, for example, [16; 17; 31]). There are a few general results known concerning complete packings by spheres in N-dimensional Euclidean space, due mainly to Larman [20; 21]. For osculatory packings, although there is a great deal of specific knowledge about the two-dimensional situation, the results for higher dimensions, such as [4], rely on general methods which do not give particularly precise information.

We generalize the earlier studies on the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in four-dimensional space–time to higher dimensions. It is found that the central singularities may be naked in higher dimensions but depend sensitively on the choices of the parameters. These naked singularities are found to be gravitationally strong that violate the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

The crystallographic point groups of the four-dimensional Euclidean space {\bb E}4are a convenient means of studying some crystallized solids of physical space, for instance the groups of magnetic structures and the groups of mono-incommensurate structures, as is demonstrated by a simple example. The concept of polar crystallographic point groups defined here in {\bb E}4, and also in {\bb E}nenables the list and the WPV notation {geometric symbol of Weigel, Phan & Veysseyre [Acta Cryst.(1987), A43, 294-304]} of these special structures to be stated in a more precise way. This paper is especially concerned with the mono-incommensurate structures while a discussion on magnetic structures will be published later.

String matching is a basic theoretical problem in computer science, but has been useful in implementating various text editing tasks. The explosion of multimedia requires an appropriate generalization of string matching to higher dimensions. The first natural generalization is that of seeking the occurrences of a pattern in a text where both pattern arid text are rectangles. The last few years saw a tremendous activity in two dimensional pattern matching algorithms. We naturally had to limit the amount of information that entered this chapter. We chose to concentrate on serial deterministic algorithms for some of the basic issues of two dimensional matching. Throughout this chapter we define our problems in terms of squares rather than rectangles, however, all results presented easily generalize to rectangles. The Exact Two Dimensional Matching Problem is defined as follows: . . . INPUT: Text array T[n x n] and pattern array P[m x m]. OUTPUT: All locations [i,j] in T where there is an occurrence of P, i.e. T[i+k+,j+l] = P[k+1,l+1] 0 ≤ k, l ≤ n-1. . . . A natural way of solving any generalized problem is by reducing it to a special case whose solution is known. It is therefore not surprising that most solutions to the two dimensional exact matching problem use exact string matching algorithms in one way or another. In this section, we present an algorithm for two dimensional matching which relies on reducing a matrix of characters into a one dimensional array. Let P' [1 . . .m] be a pattern which is derived from P by setting P' [i] = P[i,l]P[i,2]…P[i,m], that is, the ith character of P' is the ith row of P. Let Ti[l . . .n — m + 1], for 1 ≤ i ≤ n, be a set of arrays such that Ti[j] = T[i, j] T [ i , j + 1 ] • • • T[i, j + m-1]. Clearly, P occurs at T[i, j] iff P' occurs at Ti[j].
