Self-Assembly of Icosahedral Viral Capsids: the Combinatorial Analysis Approach

R. Kerner (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

An analysis of all possible icosahedral viral capsids is proposed. It takes into account the diversity of coat proteins and their positioning in elementary pentagonal and hexagonal configurations, leading to definite capsid size. We show that the self-organization of observed capsids during their production implies a definite composition and configuration of elementary building blocks. The exact number of different protein dimers is related to the...

Separation of convex polyhedral sets with column parameters

Milan Hladík (2008)

Kybernetika

Separation is a famous principle and separation properties are important for optimization theory and various applications. In practice, input data are rarely known exactly and it is advisable to deal with parameters. In this article, we are concerned with the basic characteristics (existence, description, stability etc.) of separating hyperplanes of two convex polyhedral sets depending on parameters. We study the case, when parameters are situated in one column of the constraint matrix from the...

Séries de croissance et polynômes d'Ehrhart associés aux réseaux de racines

Roland Bacher, Pierre de La Harpe, Boris Venkov (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Étant donnés un système de racines R d’une des familles A, B, C, D, F, G et le groupe abélien libre qu’il engendre, on calcule explicitement la série de croissance de ce groupe relativement à R . Les résultats s’interprètent en termes du polynôme d’Ehrhart de l’enveloppe convexe de R .

Simplices rarely contain their circumcenter in high dimensions

Jon Eivind Vatne (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

Acute triangles are defined by having all angles less than π / 2 , and are characterized as the triangles containing their circumcenter in the interior. For simplices of dimension n 3 , acuteness is defined by demanding that all dihedral angles between ( n - 1 ) -dimensional faces are smaller than π / 2 . However, there are, in a practical sense, too few acute simplices in general. This is unfortunate, since the acuteness property provides good qualitative features for finite element methods. The property of acuteness...
