Motivated by Elementary Problem B-1172 in the Fibonacci Quarterly (vol. 53, no. 3, pg. 273), formulas for the areas of triangles and other polygons having vertices with coordinates taken from various sequences of integers are obtained. The sequences discussed are Polygonal number sequences as well as Fibonacci, Lucas, Jacobsthal, Jacobsthal-Lucas, Pell, Pell-Lucas, and Generalized Fibonacci sequences. The polygons have vertices with the form $(p_n,p_{n+k}),,, (p_{n+2k},p_{n+3k}),,,dots ,(p_{n+(2m-2)k},p_{n+(2m-1)k)}$.

We prove that for every $N e 4$ there is only one right triangle that tiles the regular $N$-gon.
Bollobas and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859--865] conjectured the following. If $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on at least $r+1$ vertices and $m$ edges, then $lambda^2_1(G)+lambda^2_2(G)leq frac{r-1}{r}cdot2m$, where $lambda_1(G)$ and $lambda_2(G)$ are the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix $A(G)$, respectively. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture in the case $r=2$, by using tools from doubly stochastic matrix theory, and also characterize all families of extremal graphs. Motivated by classic theorems due to ErdH{o}s and Nosal respectively, we prove that every non-bipartite graph $G$ of order $n$ and size $m$ contains a triangle, if one of the following is true: (1) $lambda_1(G)geqsqrt{m-1}$ and $G eq C_5cup (n-5)K_1$; and (2) $lambda_1(G)geq lambda_1(S(K_{lfloorfrac{n-1}{2}rfloor,lceilfrac{n-1}{2}rceil}))$ and $G eq S(K_{lfloorfrac{n-1}{2}rfloor,lceilfrac{n-1}{2}rceil})$, where $S(K_{lfloorfrac{n-1}{2}rfloor,lceilfrac{n-1}{2}rceil})$ is obtained from $K_{lfloorfrac{n-1}{2}rfloor,lceilfrac{n-1}{2}rceil}$ by subdividing an edge. Both conditions are best possible. We conclude this paper with some open problems.
Alon and Yuster proved that the number of orientations of any $n$-vertex graph in which every $K_3$ is transitively oriented is at most $2^{lfloor n^2/4rfloor}$ for $n geq 10^4$ and conjectured that the precise lower bound on $n$ should be $n geq 8$. We confirm their conjecture and, additionally, characterize the extremal families by showing that the balanced complete bipartite graph with $n$ vertices is the only $n$-vertex graph for which there are exactly $2^{lfloor n^2/4rfloor}$ such orientations.
A rectilinear polygon is a polygon whose edges are axis-aligned. Walking counterclockwise on the boundary of such a polygon yields a sequence of left turns and right turns. The number of left turns always equals the number of right turns plus 4. It is known that any such sequence can be realized by a rectilinear polygon. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding realizations that minimize the perimeter or the area of the polygon or the area of the bounding box of the polygon. We show that all three problems are NP-hard in general. This answers an open question of Patrignani [CGTA 2001], who showed that it is NP-hard to minimize the area of the bounding box of an orthogonal drawing of a given planar graph. We also show that realizing polylines with minimum bounding box area is NP-hard. Then we consider the special cases of $x$-monotone and $xy$-monotone rectilinear polygons. For these, we can optimize the three objectives efficiently.
For $ngeq 3$, let $r=r(n)geq 3$ be an integer. A hypergraph is $r$-uniform if each edge is a set of $r$ vertices, and is said to be linear if two edges intersect in at most one vertex. In this paper, the number of linear $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $ntoinfty$ vertices is determined asymptotically when the number of edges is $m(n)=o(r^{-3}n^{ frac32})$. As one application, we find the probability of linearity for the independent-edge model of random $r$-uniform hypergraph when the expected number of edges is $o(r^{-3}n^{ frac32})$. We also find the probability that a random $r$-uniform linear hypergraph with a given number of edges contains a given subhypergraph.
