Jassologie : Une vision originale sur les cartes orientables

Abstract

Jassology is a global theory on orientable maps which results from artistic experiments. The objective of this article is to define and describe the essential tools of Jassologic process, wich consists in associating a word, called Jassologic Word, to a planar trivalent rooted map. The original method is based on breaking down a map into layers of cells called "Jasses", which means "layers" in Provence. We also describe in details the set of Jassologic Words, whose alphabet is composed of 16 specified caracters (Catherine Mouet's caracters). And we explain how to construct a planar trivalent rooted map from any Jassologic Word. We obtain a bijection between Jassologic Words and the equivalence classes of planar trivalent rooted maps. In particular, two planar trivalent rooted maps are equivalent if and only if their correspondant Jassologic Words are the same. From a computer science point of view, Jassologic process is an algorithm which doesn't use any handling of images.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
